The gorgeous Monaco-born beauty was second runner-up for Miss France 2015, is a TV star and her granddad was legendary manager, Louis Pirroni

IT could be worse for Florian Thauvin. 

Sure, he's been limited to a handful of minutes in Russia - only getting a brief run-out against Argentina in France's last-16 win over Argentina.

But, in missus Charlotte Pirroni he's certainly got someone to ease the burden.

The former Newcastle United flop, who has turned his career around at Marseille and was one of the star performer's in Ligue 1 last season, began dating Charlotte back in March 2015.

She was on hand to help her beau settle at the Toon , however it didn't quite work out for the pair on Tyneside and they were both back in France a year later.

But she clearly is his greatest supporter, cheering on Les Bleus while wearing a French jersey with his name on the back and watching his games with their two dogs.

She's even joined the rest of the national team's Wags in singing for their boys.

The 24-year-old beauty's roots are in Monaco, where she is part of footballing royalty. Her granddad Louis Pirroni managed the side from the Principality three times in the 1950s and 60s.

At secondary school, sporty Charlotte was said to be a decent basketball player, and even considered going pro when she was a teen.

But that wasn't going to be her calling. Instead, the world of modelling was a more attractive proposition - and the accolades soon followed.

In 2014, Charlotte won the prestigious Miss Côte-d'Azur beauty pageant, and followed that up with second runner-up spot in Miss France 2015.

Over the years, she's been front and centre of some glamorous fashion shoots.

Most recently, she starred in jaw-dropping ads for French lingerie brand Sans Complexe and has also appeared on various French chat shows as a panellist.

And before you go thinking, 'Oh not another model...' Charlotte actually studied hard.

She holds a Bachelors degree in marketing and management and is hoping to launch her own fashion business.

She has her heart set on being a product manager for a perfumery, as well as starting her own modelling agency.

We suspect all that will have to wait though, at least until Sunday, when she will cheering on France against Croatia at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.

If any Premier League clubs are looking to take a punt on Thauvin again, we'd be very happy to see Miss Pirroni back on our shores.
