The girls starring in ITV2′S WAGS Boutique are in the middle of yet another row.

Michaela Henderson-Thynne and Krystell Sidwell, who help run the Bows Boutique, claimed yesterday that their rivals in the Better Half Boutique are trying to copy and steal their ideas in a bid to win the show.

“Cassie Sumner and some of the other Better Half girls have been running in here spying on us and our designs,” Krystell told the Daily Star Sunday. “It is obvious they are worried about us. We’ve been so busy and are obviously doing well. It’s dirty tricks. They want to steal our ideas.”

Presented by June Sarpong, get ready for handbags at dawn as two competing teams of the ‘Wives and Girlfriends’ of Britain’s footballers switch from browsing the shelves to stocking them as they set up and run two rival fashion boutiques in central London. From designing the store and choosing the stock to marketing and perfecting their sales techniques, the ten girls will need determination, flair and a head for business if they are to succeed. After 13 weeks the boutique with the highest profits wins, with all profits going to a charity of the girls’ choosing.

To make the rivalry between the teams even more intense, the boutiques are situated next to one another near London’s uber-trendy Carnaby Street. With each team having decided on a name for their shops, both ‘Bows’ and ‘Better Half’ look set to become as talked about as Liverpool’s famous Cricket boutique. The shops will be open to the public every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 1 February.
