Phil Foden's cousin and her three children narrowly escape horror house fire in middle of the night
Manchester City star Phil Foden has been left distraught after his cousin's house went up in flames in the middle of the night. Codie Owen, who the England midfielder, 24, regards as a 'sister', was in her property in Edgeley, Stockport, with her three children when the inferno began ravaging through the house. Ms Owen initially carried two of her young children out of the property and to safety before bravely re-entering to rescue the third. The blaze is believed to have been sparked by a faulty extractor fan in the first floor bathroom. Shocked by the news, a source close to the Premier League footballer has revealed he is now helping Codie and her kids find somewhere to live while her house is repaired from the damage. They told The Sun: 'Phil was really upset when he heard what had happened. 'He is really close to Codie. 'They are best pals and spent loads of time together as children. He regards her as a sister and dotes on her children. 'He's now helping her find alternative accommodation as she can't return to the house for a while due to the smoke damage.' Fire crews spent around two hours extinguishing the blaze at the house near League One side Stockport County's stadium, Edgeley Park. Emergency services also rushed Codie and her children to Stepping Hill Hospital, Stockport, over smoke inhalation concerns. A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service told MailOnline: 'At 1.20am on Friday 2 May, three fire engines attended a house fire in Edgeley, Stockport. 'The fire was on the first floor, and crews used two breathing apparatus, one hose reel and a positive pressure ventilation fan to tackle it. 'One adult and three children were taken to hospital for precautionary checks. Crews were in attendance for two hours.' The fire at his cousin's property came just two days after MailOnline reported how the midfielder had listed his mansion for sale at an eye-watering price of £3million. Foden moved out of the sprawling property in Prestbury, Cheshire, last year after a raucous party led to the police being called. He now resides in a more isolated home in the countryside with his family but is still within commuting distance of City's training ground in east Manchester. The mansion, which has a price tag of £3.25million, is complete with its own cinema, indoor pool and five bathrooms. It also boasts its own gym, bar, hot tub and extensive gardens with a swing and a trampoline and has been fitted with a private electric security gate.

Man City ace Phil Foden in shock after brave best pal forced to rescue her three kids from horror house fire

Earlier this month, the Prem star was pictured getting kitted out in full Burberry. Foden promoted the designer brand with snaps of himself in jacket, shorts and trainers at one the label's upmarket shops. Last month, The Sun revealed Foden went to take his mind off football by going on a fishing trip. The ace held up a beauty caught on a trip with the team from Manchester-based Carp Fever.
