Some of England’s most famous WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends) are lined up to compete in an all new reality TV show due to begin early next year.

Chelsea WAGs Elen Rives and Carly Zucker – fiancées of Frank Lampard and Joe Cole respectively, and Steven Gerrard’s girlfriend Alex Curran are all being approached about taking part in the show.

Sources at Talkback Thames – the television company behind X-Factor revealed the plans.

They said: “It is going to be dynamite, there is no way that the girls are all going to remain friends. There is likely to be a lot of falling out, both between the two teams and within them too. Some of the scenes will not be very pretty.”

Filming is due to start in December, with boutiques opening early next year. The WAGS are said to be fighting over places in the show, all of them hoping to become the new Victoria Beckham!

Our source added: “Obviously the more famous of the WAGs are pretty much guaranteed places if they want them but the girlfriends of the more junior England players and Premiership stars are at war with one another over who is going to go on the show.

“It is certainly the talk in the players’ lounges across the Premiership stadiums at the moment.”

WAGs who will not take part are: Cheryl Tweedy and Victoria Beckham, who are busy with their own careers, John Terry’s fiancée Toni Poole, who gave birth to twins Summer Rose and Georgie John in May, and Rebecca Ellison, Rio Ferdinand’s partner, who has also just become a mum.

The girls’ first projects will be to have launch parties for their stores. They will then be open to the public five days a week until April when there will be a grand final.
