Keeley Hazell Memoir Details 2006 Bedroom Brawl With Joe Cole and Ex Lloyd Miller

Keeley Hazell Memoir Details 2006 Bedroom Brawl With Joe Cole and Ex Lloyd Miller
  • PublishedAugust 31, 2025

I am Quinn Parker, and Keeley Hazell says a 2006 night out ended with England star Joe Cole asleep in her bed and her then-boyfriend attacking him, a jaw-dropper she lays out in her new memoir.

Buckle up, pour another cup, and let Auntie Quinn speed-walk you through the chaos, because this tea is scalding and the saucer is trembling.

In Everyone’s Seen My Tits, Hazell, 38, recounts how a boozy evening at Embassy Club in London’s West End spiraled into a tabloid-ready brawl. According to her account, Cole got too drunk with his teammates, so Hazell and a friend, identified as Patsy, did the responsible thing and bundled him into a cab, ferrying him to her parents’ home in Southeast London to sleep it off. Nothing steamy, just triage. Then the plot twisted. Her boyfriend, whom she calls “Theo,” phoned about a car key and showed up unexpectedly. The name did not stay a mystery for long. In coverage of the excerpt, the Daily Mail identified “Theo” as former footballer and bodybuilder Lloyd Miller, and Miller himself has since reacted to the story.

Hazell writes that she tried to keep calm, then admitted Joe Cole was upstairs. Miller apparently did not believe her. He went up, she heard a bang, and when she and Patsy raced to the bedroom, she says they found Miller on top of Cole, throwing punches. Her description is vivid and grim: Cole curled into a ball, a ripped shirt, bruises, blood, and Hazell screaming for the beating to stop. Cole fought back, then bolted from the house. When she asked Miller why he did it, she quotes him replying, “Man needs to learn a lesson. You don’t sleep in my girl’s bed… simple as.” The next day, she recalls, Cole appeared on a tabloid front page with a black eye, while papers spun a wild story about an England team bash at her place. Hazell pushes back on that, noting how unlikely it was that a pack of millionaires trekked to her council estate when hotel suites existed.

The fallout, as told in the book, did not end with the bruises. Hazell also alleges that in 2007, after their breakup, “Theo” leaked their private tape as revenge porn. “What he did wasn’t just humiliating, it was devastating,” she writes. “He violated me in a way that was unforgivable, and I couldn’t stop it.” Us Weekly reported those allegations from the memoir, along with her heartbreaking description that the video spread quickly and left her to drown in public shaming. To be clear, those are Hazell’s allegations as published from her memoir and secondary reporting.

As for Miller, now 39 and living in Kent with his girlfriend and their four daughters, he told the Daily Mail he is “surprised” the fight made it into print, adding that it happened a long time ago and he has mellowed. That reaction is on record, and it reads like a man trying to footnote his past while the internet re-reads the entire chapter.

Context check for anyone just joining the pop culture party: Hazell is a model turned actress and writer who appeared on Ted Lasso, which launched her into a different echelon of fame. Cole, a Premier League standout and former England international, was every sports page’s golden boy at the time. When those worlds collided in a Southeast London bedroom, the scandal machine revved, and the tabloids grabbed the wheel.

Receipts, receipts, receipts: the core incident is described in Hazell’s own book, the identity of “Theo” and Miller’s quoted response were carried by the Daily Mail’s coverage of the memoir, and the revenge porn claim is attributed to her account as relayed by Us Weekly. That is a trifecta of source lanes, each pointing to a night that spun from care-taking to catastrophe, then to years of fallout.

Where does this leave us? With a memoir that forces a reframe of a headline everyone thought they knew, a former boyfriend insisting he is not that man anymore, and a football star forever linked to a midnight sprint out of a stranger’s house with the press snapping at his heels. Keep your kettle warm, because the book’s title is not subtle, and the chapters sound anything but gentle. Next up, eyes peeled for any official response from Cole’s camp or further legal commentary on the revenge porn claim, which remains Hazell’s allegation in print.

Time to unclench and sip something soothing, because my caffeine and these revelations are in a tie for who is shaking more.
