ANGELINA JOLIE AND BRAD PITT

The Hollywood rumour mill was sent into overdrive as reports hit the headlines that Angelina Jolie had sacked her family nanny for "flirting" with Brad Pitt and was in the process of talking to divorce lawyers about ending their marriage.

“It became obvious this nanny was flirting around him and being a little too friendly,” a source told infamous gossip merchants The National Enquirer.

It went on to claim that Angelina had a “huge screaming match” with the nanny before packing her things and leaving.

However, a second source supposedly close to the couple has dismissed the reports, telling Gossip Cop they were “nonsense”. Official representatives are yet to comment.
