WAGs, Kids and World Cup Dreams
Episode 2
1 hour
Five WAGs leave their pampered lives behind to experience the reality of life behind the gloss of the World Cup by rolling up their sleeves to work in some of the poorest and most deprived neighbourhoods in the host nation, South Africa.
Chantelle Tagoe (Emile Heskey's partner), Ellie Darby (Matthew Upson's partner), Elen Rivas (Frank Lampard's ex-partner) and the ex-girlfriends of Jermaine Pennant and Jermain Defoe - Amii Grove and Imogen Thomas - are faced with the stark reality of the orphan crisis, HIV pandemic and social breakdown there.
In Johannesburg, the crime capital of South Africa, Ellie and Elen teach safe sex in brothels and try and rescue a young prostitute trapped in the sex trade. Chantelle is split from the other WAGs and lives in the city's controversial Central Methodist Church, where over 3,000 refugees sleep every night. Traumatised by the conditions, she begins to question her own wealth and takes a decisive step towards helping one orphan child. Show less
