The racist abuse of Newcastle United striker Papiss Cissé and his girlfriend Rachelle Graham is beng treated as a hate crime.
Sick messages were posted online because Cissé, who has been dating Miss Graham for a year, is black and she is white.
Miss Graham, who was crowned Miss Newcastle last year, was informed of the vile online slurs by her mother.
The Mirror claim police are investigating the issue as a hate crime.

Twenty-one-year-old Miss Graham told Sky Tyne and Wear: “It is horrific. The website targets the pair of us because I am white and Papiss is black.
“Some of it is really threatening. I don’t understand why people would say these things, especially as Papiss is such a nice guy.
“I guess we just have to ignore it and move on.”
