WAGS lonely, insecure despite glamour (Part 3)

Ms Kervin said footballers in the other English and European football divisions faced such temptations too.

She said she had seen first hand how the women try to seduce footballers.

Referring to the Wag who tries not to drink on a night out, she said: "I went out to a nightclub with her and her husband one night. I sat at one end of the table while she and her husband were at the other end."

"When she went to the toilet, four other young women, all made up and in short skirts, flung themselves at her seat and offered their telephone numbers to her husband or asked him to call them."

"One of them even went to the toilet to try to delay her return to the table."

"The fact that this couple had been married for three years already did not seem to deter these women."

The Wags' insecurity leads them to focus mainly on their looks, which Ms Kervin said was a "quite self-destructive" way to live.

Many of them spent large amounts of money on manicures, pedicures, hairstylists, make-up, clothes and other accessories to keep up with their other well-dressed counterparts.

Judging by the number of footballers who become philandering husbands and boyfriends, it appears Wags have every reason to be worried.

Are there any good guys?

While she refused to name the bad boys, she was quick to name the good ones.

Ms Kervin named Tottenham Hotspur striker Peter Crouch as a good guy.

She said: "When a reporter once asked him what he would have become if he were not a footballer, he said: ‘A virgin'.

"I thought that was very funny because he acknowledged that everything he was, his fame and his status, was all due to football. I thought that was a very honest answer."

Despite their husbands' and boyfriends' infidelities, Ms Kervin said many Wags stayed with them.
