England Put Wags Out Of Business
THE fallout from England’s failure to quality for Euro 2008 continues to hurt.
And it’s bad for business. Reality has collided with the reality TV show Wags Boutique. What the odds?
As the Sun reports, the show has been “axed” because of England’s on-field failure.
In this show, ten Wags were split into two five-a-side teams and each team given a shop to run for profit. But now the shops have closed.
It is a shocking decision. But then, the show was always mired in controversy, chiefly in the selection policy.
In the white heat of battle, Michaela Henderson-Thynne has separated from her footballer Stewart Downing, and Cassie became known as the former girlfriend of Chelsea’s Michael Essien.
And there was Danielle Lloyd, who appeared as a Wag shopper under the banner “on/off Wag”.
Viewers and pub professors wondered if Wives And Girlfriends extended to ex wives and girlfriends? Were the Wags to be rebranded as Exwags?
Of course, ITV, which broadcast the show, has missed a chance to enliven a moribund summer for football fans. Our advice would have been to put the show out at primetime and for a full 90 minutes.
Like you and the BBC’s cameramen, we searched for the Wags in each and every break in play. This was the chance to remind us what football really is all about…
