The mother of Manchester City's Nolito has accused her son of abandoning her after he withdrew financial support for the former drug addict and prostitute.
Rocio Agudo Duran, 46, has had to live in squalid conditions with her six-year-old twins ever since the winger halted payments on the house she used to rent out.
The pair haven't spoken since July 2015 when a heated argument on messaging app WhatsApp culminated in Nolito opting against paying her rent and, in an interview with the Daily Mirror, a distraught Rocio descried how terrible life had been for her and her other two children over the past 16 months.

She said: I'm sure no other mum of a Premier League footballer is living like me. I broke into the house I'm in now last October, after Nolito stopped paying the rent on another place I was living in nearby, but I'm obviously terrified I could be turfed out on the streets at any time with two young kids and nowhere to go.�
It's not an ideal place to raise two young children. The house is full of damp and holes rats get in through.�
Nolito reportedly pockets £100k a week after completing a summer transfer to Manchester City, but refuses to use some of the cash he earns to help Rocio out back in Spain.
The pair initially fell out after Rocio stated that Nolito had given her false promises over helping to pay for his disabled brother to rent proper accommodation.
However, the 29-year-old has accused his mother of having a "black soul" and allegedly told her to leave him alone, in a foul mouthed tirade via WhatsApp, after she had claimed that he lied to the press over how much he looked after her and his siblings.
Nolito also apparently told Rocio, If you want to beg outside the supermarket, do it. And if you want to steal, steal� in another message after being lambasted for hiring a cleaner for his house in Spain instead of giving her the job.
Rocio, who has spent 13 years in jail for drug-related crimes, insisted that she was repentant over her past criminal activity, before blasting Nolito for forgetting about her and making money his new priority in life.

She added: I got addicted to smoking heroin after being thrown out of home after a family row when I was 17 and Nolito was 21 months. I fell in with the wrong crowd. You name it, I took it. I used to shoplift to make money to buy drugs, but most of my cash came from prostitution.
He's been persuaded by his other family and so-called friends that an ex-junkie, jailbird mum is not good for his image, and having me out the way means more money for them.
Money has changed my son. He didn't like it that I was the only one telling him things straight, instead of applauding everything he does like the hangers-on he surrounds himself with.�
However, Nolito's grandmother Dolores backed her grandson over daughter Rocio, and claimed that the Spain international had got out of a tricky situation by withdrawing funds for his mother.
She said: Everything my daughter says is lies. The way she's bad-mouthed him is awful. I cannot understand how a mother could do that to her own flesh and blood.
Nolito's such a humble person, a real friend of his friends. He always helped her and the youngsters. The problem was she kept asking for more and more.�
Nolito himself considers Dolores and deceased grandfather Manuel as his mum and dad, and commends them for his upbringing.
In a past interview he said: I was brought up by my grandfather and grandmother, they helped to educate me and they provided everything they possibly could for me. My grandfather was like a father to me and it was he who bought me my first football.�
Both Manchester City and Nolito are yet to respond to Rocio's comments.
