A stunning influencer and model says she regrets “turning down” Jude Bellingham after his headline-stealing exploits at the World Cup.
Polska Ssoukali claims the Real Madrid and England superstar slid into her Instagram DMs several years ago. The French TV star, who boasts 431,000 Instagram followers, posted the admission on Snapchat next to a picture of the Real Madrid midfielder.
The glamorous influencer claims Three Lions hero Bellingham tried to get to know her on the social network. But the 26-year-old said she chose to reject his advances and quickly moved on – a decision that now looks foolish to say the least.

Now, as Bellingham stars at the 2026 World Cup, she admitted she regrets blowing him out. She wrote: “The least profitable rejection of my life.”
The influencer, known online as Polska, was born Pauline in Poland before moving to France at the age of five. She first rose to fame on Instagram before landing a TV gig on Cyril Hanouna’s daily show Tout Beau Tout Neuf.
Polska is best known as a former panellist on the hit talk show Touche Pas à Mon Poste and for her appearances on the show TBT9.

She once revealed on the show that she earns around €20,000 a month from social media, as reported by creatorzine.com.
But that pales into comparison when set against Bellingham’s staggering earnings. His base salary at Real Madrid is thought to be approximately £345,000 per week.
This equates to an annual figure of roughly £18m million before any performance-related bonuses and sponsorship deals, while his total net worth is thought to be around £43m.
Bellingham is dating stunning model Ashlyn Castro, 28, who has more than 650,000 Instagram followers.

They first went public last year and she has become a fixture in the stands at the Bernabeu, but also out in North America when cheering on her man.
At 23, he has been one of the standout players of the World Cup so far. In the quarter-final against Norway, the midfielder scored both goals in a dramatic 2-1 comeback.
He will be looking to deliver another masterclass against Argentina in the semi-final on Wednesday evening, as England chase a first World Cup win since 1966.
