Italian professional footballer Mario Balotelli and his fiancee Fanny Neguesha are huge fans of the reality TV series 'The Only Way Is Essex', it has been revealed.
The 24-year-old player used to watch the TV show to help him master in English when he joined Manchester City four years ago, but later on seriously fell in love with the show, the Daily Star reported.
The Italian striker's favorite character was Mario Falcone, who has been currently suspended from the show over cocaine-snorting claims, and called him "numero uno".
