Real Madrid star Gareth Bale’s fiancee bans relatives from wedding over drugs feud fallout

FOOTIE ace Gareth Bale’s fiancee has banned a string of relatives from their wedding amid the fallout from a drugs feud that has engulfed the family.

Emma Rhys-Jones, 26, has barred her cousin Epiphany Dring, 28, a topless model who fled abroad after a bag of drugs and cash vanished.

She has also black-listed her aunt Jane Burns, 55, along with her current husband Daniel, 41, and ex Carl Dring, 50 – Epiphany’s Dad.

It comes after a gangland war erupted last September when a bag of drugs, cash and watches worth £1million went missing from Emma’s grandparents’ house.

Glamour girl Epiphany, who was staying there at the time, jetted abroad amid fear of recriminations but has since returned.

But shortly afterwards cars were firebombed at the Cardiff home of Grandparents John and Eva McMurray and the house of Emma’s aunt Annabella Williams in Flint, north Wales.

Emma – who got engaged to £86 million Real Madrid winger Bale last July – has also banned Annabella, 55, and her brother Graham, 50.

Annabella was arrested last year but cops are taking no further action.

Graham McMurray – said to be Emma’s favourite uncle – was also arrested for money laundering after police apparently found money stuffed up his chimney. He is on bail and living in protective custody.

Emma and Wales star Bale, 27, are considering holding the lavish bash abroad in a bid to deter the vengeful gang and other unwanted guests from turning up.

We told last month how Emma hopes her Dad Martin, 52 – in jail in the The U.S over fraud charges – will be there to give her away on her big day.

A source said: “Emma is resigned to the fact that a lot of her family will not be there – but she has spoken to Gareth about it all and they have really got no choice.

“She is angry with the family over what has gone on and particularly the fact it put her grandparents in danger.

“So she has let it be known that a lot of people, including her cousin Epiphany and uncles and aunts will not be invited and will not be welcome.

“But she wants her Mum Suzanne, as well as her Dad, and her brothers and sisters to be there.”

Childhood sweethearts Gareth and Emma plan to get hitched this summer – and will tie the knot amid high security and possibly abroad.

They have two daughters Alba, four, and Valentina, 11 months and will take moves to ensure their safety.

Our source added: “The wedding will be surrounded by incredibly tight security because Gareth knows this gang means business and are heavy duty.

“He has had guards around the family for months since it kicked off.

“They may well hold it in Mexico, where guards will be able to carry guns, or in Spain.

“And they are considering putting out hoax details for venues and dates as a diversionary tactic to keep undesirables away.

“Real Madrid know all about the problems and are supporting Gareth.

“They may even let him hold the wedding close to the start of the Spanish league season in August.”

South Wales Police have now recovered the bag at the centre of the feud but the gang – believed to be Middle-Eastern – is still on the warpath.

Cops have installed CCTV at three family homes which is being monitored remotely in case of further attacks.
