England wonderkid Theo Walcott looks the picture of domestic bliss as he poses at his family home with his girlfriend Melanie Slade.


The childhood sweethearts, both 19, posed for the at home shots before he shot into the limelight after his hat-trick in Wednesday’s 4-1 win against Croatia.

The couple pose in the kitchen in the Hemel Hempstead mansion and proud Melanie is seen drinking out of a football shaped mug.
