Lizzie Cundy may not have her own television show but it appears she’s often the person WAGs turn to for advice.
Following the fallout of the WAGatha Christie defamation case launched by Rebekah Vardy against Coleen Rooney, Lizzie has been extremely vocal on the situation and how WAG culture has changed.
The 54-year-old has explained that the WAGs often “protect each other” and she’s frequently consoling the new generation over the phone.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, the mum-of-two hinted that away from the limelight, she could run her own advice line after always looking out for others in the footballing industry.

Lizzie said: “So many come to me for advice, I’m like the WAGony aunt.
“You know, football’s been in my world since I was 20, it’s the only thing anyone understands in the football world,, you’re in a football bubble, you protect each other.
“The footballer’s wives, I’ve always tried to do my best and the footballers to protect.”

She continued: “It is a funny world that not many understand unless you’re in it, it’s very intense.
“You’ve got the fans and the groupies – the other footballers used to have to watch their seats because they’d go to the loo and another girl might sit in the seat by the time they went – that’s how mad it is.

“We all know about the girls that sort of, set out on where they are at away games, they’ll dress up to the nines sitting at the bar waiting for them.
“They’re like bees and a honey pot, they’re the rock and roll stars, they have huge wages and the fans, some fans, a minority, behave terribly.

“There are a few ones [WAGs that don’t behave] but I’m old school. I try and help people where I can.”
Discussing the recent abuse aimed at Harry Maguire, Lizzie added “I remember saying years back to Alex Ferguson, he said ‘players are getting on the wrong side of the paper, we want them on the back and not the front’, and many of his stars, this was happening to.
“I said ‘Look, this comes from grassroots growing up, football is a world where everything is done for them but they’re left out in the cold.
“I think more should be done in the football world and hopefully we’ve got to prevent this from happening to any other footballer.”
