Melanie Slade SCHOOLGIRL TO SUPERWAG By Fiona Wright Melanie Slade is curled up on a soft leather couch. The girlfriend of Arsenal's Theo Walcott looks about 12 and is so uniformly golden brown, it's as though her tiny doll-like body has been dipped in caramel. Her hair is bleached WAG blonde and she's got the sort of fresh, smooth skin and size 2 frame you can only have at 18. It was in May last year that Melanie was thrust onto the public stage following Theo's selection for the England World Cup squad, but already she seems at ease in the world of the WAG. Not surprising when you hear that she was given a masterclass by the Queen WAG herself, Victoria Beckham. "I love all this," Melanie says on the photo shoot. "Having my make-up done, wearing these glamorous clothes. It's great fun. I like how different you can look at the stroke of a make-up brush. I do love dressing up." Until last year, Melanie was an ordinary schoolgirl Excitingstudying for A levels in biology, psychology and maths, with a Saturday job in Claire's. It was while working in the shop that she caught Theo's eye: he approached her and the rest is history. But their lives were transformed when they travelled to Germany last summer with the England team and their gorgeous wives and girlfriends. Within days, Melanie was immersed in the surreal world of the WAG. It's a big jump for anyone to make, let alone an impressionable schoolgirl. ![]() "It was really exciting at first, quite cool," she says eagerly. "I felt special, glamorous. It was more of a shock for my parents and my brother and sisters. They were worried at first and very protective. I mean, it is really weird. One day, I'm a schoolgirl, the next minute I'm famous, just because I date a guy who happens to be really good at football." Despite the tag, 18-year-old Melanie is determined not to be a typical WAG. "I don't want to just go shopping all the time, wear designer clothes and have expensive haircuts and manicures," she says. "I do my own thing. I'm going to St George's University in London next year to study physiotherapy. "I do what I want to do. I'm my own person and I make decisions independent of Theo." Which is all very commendable * but does Theo make decisions independent of her? Would he listen to her if he was offered a lucrative contract elsewhere? Sunderland, for example? "You mean is Roy Keane right about footballers not joining his team because there's no shopping up there for their wives? No, I don't think that's true," she laughs. "I wouldn't dream of telling Theo what to do. It's like any job, isn't it? If a man wants to move jobs because of a promotion or something, he'll go. I think footballers want to go where there are good prospects and good leadership."Ouch. ![]() Despite her protestations, Melanie does seem like a chief WAG-in-training. She's at home in front of a camera, knows her best side, and struts around the studio like a pro. Beckham She waits patiently for her stylist to adjust her clothes, and pouts on demand. Speaking of chief WAG, what does she think of Victoria Beckham? "Oh she's lovely, nothing like her media persona," says Melanie. "I went to visit her at her apartment during the World Cup. I was terrified because I didn't know what to wear or what to say. But she was great and really put me at ease. In fact, she gave me some top tips. "She said that I shouldn't take it all too seriously, that I should separate my media career from my private life, and that Theo and I should always make time for each other and keep everything normal. Oh, and look after each other. "Victoria's very real as well. She's a proper mum and her little boys love her." So does Melanie see herself marrying Theo and settling down to have children with him? "I'm 18. I have no idea what will happen," she says. "Yes, Theo and I are in love, but I've got loads to do before I even think of that. I've got uni, my career, and before all of that I'm climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa for Global Angels, a charity that helps disadvantaged children." She's definitely dating the right person to get her in shape to climb the 19,000ft peak. "Oh no, Theo hasn't really helped at all," she says with mock indignation. "In fact, when I told him and his friends that I was going to do it, they just laughed and said I wouldn't manage it. That just makes me all the more determined." Although Melanie's absolutely tiny, she insists that she eats like a horse. "I really do," she says. "Theo has to eat properly, so I've picked that up from him. But I'm guilty of eating junk food too." Melanie's certainly never shied away from her WAG status, and her fame has led to photo shoots with glossy mags and her lending her name to Cancer Research's Race For Life campaign. So is life as a WAG really all designer shoes and glam parties? And does she mind the WAG tag? "No, I don't mind, it comes with the territory," she explains. "But day to day it's not that exciting. I mean, I like shopping, but there's only so much you can do. I'm not into designer stuff. I get most of my clothes from River Island and Topshop." But surely she must feel under pressure to look glam at all times? "Not at all," she says. "I fall out of the house in whatever I'm wearing. If I look rubbish, I look rubbish. Being photographed doesn't worry me." Melanie is keen to stress that fame hasn't changed her, and she insists her relationship with Theo, also 18, is as regular as they come. "I see Theo after training most nights and at weekends," she says. "I'm sort of living between his house in London and my parents' place in Southampton. I like going out for dinner and hanging out with our friends at Theo's." But there aren't many young women flashing a £10,000 diamond and platinum ring on their finger or driving a VW Beetle convertible with a personalised number plate. "I'm very lucky," she admits. "Theo does spoil me sometimes. The ring was a surprise gift and he bought me the car for my 17th birthday. It's white and I love it. Part of the number plate is M4T which stands for Melanie 4 Theo." As well as lavish gifts, Theo regularly sends her small tokens of his love * and flowers. So what made Melanie fall for him? Smiles "His sense of humour," she smiles. "It's impossible to have a row with him because he's so charming. He'll really annoy me by playing computer games, and there I am, all dressed up to look gorgeous for him and he's ignoring me. But if I have a go at him, he just smiles, tickles me or says something really lovely, and he's forgiven." She doesn't worry about the downside of dating a footballer * all the other women just dying to step in to her WAG shoes. "Theo gets a lot of attention," she says. "But so do I! We're just trying hard to be a normal couple. I'm pretty strong, I can cope." Let's hope Melanie continues to keep her feet firmly on the ground. Melanie on the other WAGs... ![]()

CHERYL COLE: CHELSEA STAR'S WIFE TELLS HOW SHE WRECKED MADRID MOVE I BANNED ASHLEY'S BIG BUCKS TRANSFER ![]() By Gemma Calvert GIRLS Aloud star Cheryl Cole has confessed her WAG marriage was in turmoil after she banned her soccer idol husband from moving to the club of his dreams. Cheryl refused to let Ashley Cole go to Real Madrid because she was determined to pursue her pop career in Britain. Instead, he left Arsenal for Chelsea. "Why should all my dreams and aspirations be shattered for the sake of his career?" said Cheryl, whose hits include I'll Stand By You. "It would have meant that I'd have had to give up my career, which I wasn't prepared to do." In a searing interview that strips the gloss from a publicly flawless relationship, Cheryl also lays bare: THE HURT Ashley and his familt felt as he was forced to stay in the UK. THE ‘OBSCENITY' of soccer stars' wages. THE PAIN of watching her little brother's descent into drugs. THE DISGUST she feels for junkie stars like Pete Doherty who glamorise "devil dust" heroin. Detailing their private battles over England defender Ashley's move to Spain, 23-year-old Cheryl explained: "Ashley was offered a hell of a lot of money to go...the deal was there on the table. "I stopped him living his dream playing out there. It made things difficult. I've been through a s**t, horrible relationship before, so I refuse to argue with Ashley. I disagree with him, that's human nature, but I won't get into an abusive relationship again. "So there was a lot of disagreement, and there were a lot of tears being shed. "He has always told me never to talk about this, but I think people should know." The couple—the darlings of celebrity magazines—married in July 2006. The Madrid offer would have seen him move a month later. Girls Aloud were on their way to their current record total of 17 chart entries. "I've worked just as hard as he has to get where I am and we spoke about it at length," Cheryl told GQ Magazine. "Either I'd have had to move out there with him and commute, or give up my career at a time when we'd finally been accepted as a band and it was almost cool to like Girls Aloud." But now she almost wishes that Ashley, 26, had followed his dream and transferred abroad. "For the hurt it has caused him and his family, yes," she said simply. "For me and my career—selfish reasons, I know—then no. "But it would have been equally selfish for him to go there, so there had to be some sort of compromise." But it was compromise at a high price. He was branded a traitor by his Arsenal fans when, unsettled, he moved instead to London rivals Chelsea in a £20 million deal last year. "I almost begged Ashley to sign for Chelsea not really knowing what that would mean," she confessed. "I know a bit about football, growing up in Newcastle, and I know it would be difficult for a player to go from Newcastle to Sunderland, for instance. "But I didn't realise the extent to which moving from Arsenal to Chelsea would cause so much hurt between the two of us, and to Arsenal fans," Cheryl continued. "And for that I do apologise. He wouldn't have got half as much s**t if he had gone there (to Madrid) rather than Chelsea. And I blame myself for a lot of that. "Looking back, with all the different advice he was getting and me saying, ‘Don't go abroad', it must have been hard for him. He went through hell. "His eyes were dead until recently." Earlier this summer, Sunderland manager Roy Keane branded henpecked Premiership stars "weak" for being "dictated to by wives and girlfriends". The former Manchester United hero was livid after one high-profile player rejected a move to the North East because his partner didn't like the local shops. But for Cheryl, the issues go far deeper — and she is keen to stress the difference between herself and Queen WAG Victoria Beckam, who followed husband David to Real Madrid. "It's not as easy for Girls Aloud because the band is still performing and recording, whereas the Spice Girls weren't," she said. "I'd have gone there if I'd been in Victoria's situation. But I wasn't prepared to give up everything I had worked so hard for just so Ashley could realise his dream." As well as that dream, Ashley turned down a hefty pay rise. Cheryl claims his Madrid offer was "a lot more" than the £90,000 a week he now earns at Chelsea. "I find what all footballers get paid obscene anyway, I can never get my head around it," she said. "But that's the market, it's not Ashley's fault. It's unfair to brand Ashley greedy because he has never been like that. "Both me and him are from lower-class backgrounds. We were brought up on a council estate and in a high-rise flat without two pennies to rub together." So, far from a WAG lifestyle? "I've never been the kind of girl who has to have the latest Chloé handbag," she insisted. "If I see a nice bag for £30, I'll get it." As she talks, she twiddles the giant diamond ring on her finger. How much is that worth? "That's worth Ashley's heart," she smiled. "It's white gold and yellow diamond, and it's worth a lot of money, yes. "But it's a once-in-a-lifetime wedding ring. And anyway, I'm sick to death of feeling guilty about stuff like this. "I work long hours, why shouldn't I spend my money how the hell I like? Ashley trains for three hours a day, I work a lot harder. And if I can afford the nice things in life then why can't I have them? I liked the ring, we could afford it, so we bought it—big deal." Apart from the anguish over their careers, Cheryl insisted their marriage was strong —and she laughed off gay rumours surrounding Ashley. "No I can say that categorically," she said. "There was this rumour mill going...and I shouldn't be laughing because he'll go mad at me." Referring to a story involving bizarre use of a small mobile phone, she added: "Anyway, there were these three mixed-race footballers... "Ashley likes gossip so he was calling all his mates saying, ‘I hear it's so and so', and then one paper said it was an England star, and I turned to him and said, ‘They'll be saying it's you next'. And someone did. But he sued, they apologised and the compensation paid for my ring." Cheryl was working as a waitress when she entered TV show Popstars: The Rivals, which formed Girls Aloud in 2002. Since then she and bandmates Sarah Harding, 25, Nadine Coyle, 22, Kimberley Walsh, 25 and Nicola Roberts, 21, have risen to earn a place in the 2008 Guinness Book of Records for most consecutive UK hits. Cheryl has also hit the headlines for the wrong reasons. In 2003 she was convicted of actual bodily harm after hitting nightclub toilet attendant Sophie Amogbokpa. Cheryl still refuses to say sorry. "I wish it hadn't happened," she said. "It lives with me all the time. But I won't apologise." Cheryl is equally infamous for her feuds with everyone from Charlotte Church to Lily Allen, who ‘dedicated' a song to her. "At first I was flattered another female artist had done that," said Cheryl, but soon she realised that Allen wasn't serious. "I know that now and I don't take kindly to having the p**s taken out of me," she added. "I feel like a mug for thinking she was being nice. It was just for publicity." But she reserves her greatest anger for junkie Pete Doherty. "I can't stand it when papers print photos of people like him," said Cheryl, whose own brother got into drugs. "It glorifies everything I hate: being a smackhead. Heroin is devil's dust, it ruins lives and families, and everything it touches. "I've seen what drugs do to people. I went out with a heroin addict, my little brother got into drugs, I've lost friends to drugs. "It put me off for life. I saw people change overnight. A very good friend of mine died at 21 two years ago from heroin and to see his picture in the paper with a needle in his arm..." Wreck "His mother used the picture to show what drugs can do, to try and stop others taking it. He was a talented boy who might have played for Newcastle. "His mother crumbled to a five-and-a-half stone wreck by the end, because he'd even steal Christmas presents from his family to feed his habit. "And then to see pictures of Doherty glamorising it, and with Kate Moss on his arm, too. It makes me sick." So why did Cheryl think that Kate fell for Pete? "Smackheads tell so many lies," she said sombrely. "You convince yourself they're going to change, you're blinded by love. Yet the man you love is spaced out in bed all day. "It's so destructive for everyone around them. I don't feel sorry for addicts, they know what they're doing. Kids may have been offered a spliff 20 years ago, now it's smack that can kill them. "Kate is supposed to be away from him at the moment, so I'd say to her, ‘Stay away. Leopards don't change their spots'. "I've seen beautiful women deteriorate through drugs so fast and become ugly overnight. "None of my family, thank God, got addicted to drugs. They tried them, but learnt from their mistakes and I'm so grateful. "Where I come from everyone is exposed to drugs. I'm glad I was strong enough to resist it."

Sexy WAG is fabby Clancy
SEXY Abbey Clancy looks a poppet in a string cossie — as she reveals she likes to pretend she’s a PUPPET. The 21-year-old WAG has invented a floppy marion-ette-style dance to rival boyfriend Peter Crouch’s famous robot routine. Abbey, who lets her arms hang loose as if she’s on strings, giggled: “The only thing we do on a night out is have a dance-off. ![]() Simply the bust ... Abbey ![]() Pulling power ... on mag cover “I love his robot dance. I do the Puppet.” Liverpool striker Crouch, 26, unveiled his dance after scoring for England against Hungary last year. He was encouraged by team-mates who had seen his android antics at one of David Beckham's parties. Hell’s Kitchen star Abbey also told how she rewards Peter when he scores... by cooking him a stew. The Liverpool lass said: “A man’s dinner should be on the table when he gets home from work. He gets a proper Scouse — which is a stew with meat.” Abbey’s string of saucy poses feature in the new issue of FHM magazine, on sale now.
