Little Mickey Owen must be barking mad? The Newcastle and England striker bought a romantic stay in a treehouse as a Christmas present for his wife.

John Sykes, owner of Frogg Manor in Broxton, says the cubby house has a sense of "romance and magic".

Mickey and his dodgy knee will have to climb 15 feet to get to the treehouse which includes a king size bed, shower and toilet as well as a balcony overlooking the Welsh hills.

A stay in the treehouse will cost more than $550 per night.

Is Mickey a mentalist?
