Harry Maguires cheeky fiancee sings about his massive head and sparked famous meme

Fern Hawkins, 25, has been by the England defender's side through Euro 2020 and regularly shares loved-up snaps of the pair on exotic holidays with her 50,000 Instagram followers

Harry Maguire has been the rock at the heart of England's defence in Euro 2020 - and his own rock has been cheering him on from the sidelines.

Fiancee Fern Hawkins has been at the Manchester United captain's side for more than nine years, backing him as he rose through the ranks to become the world's most expensive defender.

Posting loved-up Instagram snaps of their life together and beloved dog Simba, she's not afraid of a cheeky jibe - sharing a video over the weekend of their family and friends joining in a chant about Harry's 'f***ing massive" head.

The Sheffield lass is just as sporty as her fiance, boasting a first class degree in science and physiotherapy, which might have come in handy as he faced a fitness scare coming into the tournament.

Shaking off his ankle ligament injury which ruled him out of the first two group games, the 28-year-old has bounced back in style, scoring in England's 4-0 drubbing of Ukraine.

It marked a stunning turnaround for the former Leicester ace, who last summer was arrested for aggravated assault during a holiday in Greece and was sent off in England's Nations Cup tie against (ominously) Denmark.

Meme queen who loves a laugh

Fern, 25, accidentally became one of England's most recognisable WAGs in 2018, after a picture of her watching from the stands sparked a flood of internet memes.

Harry was spotted chatting cosily with his missus following England's victory over Colombia at the World Cup - the picture then went viral as he scored against Sweden.

The star got in on the action himself, captioning a tweet of the picture: “Can you ask the neighbours to put the bins out on Monday? We’re not going home just yet.”

At the Euros over the weekend, Fern left fans in stitches after sharing a post of their friends and family celebrating Harry's goal against Ukraine.

Hilariously, they can be heard singing the Manchester United chant: "Harry Maguire, he takes the vodka, he takes the jaeger, his head’s f***ing massive."

Evidently, Harry's affection nickname of 'slabhead' by the Old Trafford faithful hasn't gone unnoticed in the Maguire household.

Away from the football stands, Fern and Harry live an glamorous life with their two daughters - who are often pictured in football kits with 'daddy' on the back.

The mum regularly shares romantic snaps with her man to her 51,200 Instagram followers, and on Valentine's Day posted a picture of them sipping champagne captioned: "Forever & always my valentine".

On one of Harry's recent birthdays, she gushed: "Happy Birthday to youuuu. Thank you for being the best Daddy & Fiancé we could ever wish for. We love you more than you will ever know."

Over the years, the couple have enjoyed a number of lavish holidays, relaxing in Ibiza and taking trips to see the Eiffel Tower.

They got engaged on February 17, 2018, and Fern revealed that Harry had asked her to marry him during their romantic getaway to Paris.

She posted on Instagram: "On Saturday night, Harry made me the happiest girl in the world & asked me to marry him in the most perfect way."

During the World Cup, she was seen wearing a stunning square diamond engagement ring as she supported her husband-to-be.

She gave birth to their first child on April 3, 2019 - naming their new daughter Lillie Saint Maguire.

Notably, baby Lillie was born exactly nine months after England beat Colombia on penalties at the World Cup. In May last year, they welcomed a second daughter, Piper Rose.

Fern also has another love in her life - the couple's adorable dog Simba, who's a regular feature on her Instagram feed.

Since meeting Harry in 2011 - when he was just 18 - Fern has stuck by the star through thick and thin.

After breaking through at Sheffield United and Hull City, the centre back became a star at Leicester City, earning his first England call-up.

His success at the tournament saw Manchester United come knocking, and in 2019 he signed a six-year deal for an £80million fee - the highest sum ever payed for a defender in world football.

In a message to the Red Devils, Harry said: "I'm delighted to have signed for this great club.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Leicester and would like to thank everyone at the club, and the fans, for their fantastic support over the past two seasons.

"However, when Manchester United come knocking on your door, it is an incredible opportunity."

His career suffered a setback last August, though, when he was found guilty of aggravated assault, resisting arrest and repeated attempts at bribery in a Greek court after a brawl outside a Mykonos club.

He was handed a suspended prison sentence of 21 months and 10 days, while his legal team are believed to be preparing an appeal which could take many years to be heard.
