The WAGs' Stories
Episode 2: Chantelle
30 minutes
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.
The first leg of the trip is relived through the eyes of Chantelle Tagoe, fiancee of England striker Emile Heskey. In her first work placement at Baphumelele Children's Home in the heart of the crime-ridden Khayelitsha township, Chantelle is asked to work punishing shifts caring for children orphaned by AIDS. It's here that she begins to question the huge sums of money footballers are paid and how better they could spend it. But it is when Chantelle travels to Johannesburg to live and work in a church that acts as a shelter for 3,000 homeless people each night that she decides to financially change the life of one orphan boy.
