Episode 3: Elen

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC ThreeLatest broadcast: on BBC Three

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.

Elen Rivas, ex-partner of Frank Lampard, relives her experiences in Johannesburg, one of the world's most dangerous cities. In her first work placement Elen is tasked with venturing into some of Johannesburg's notorious brothels. Her job is to teach HIV awareness to some of the thousands of prostitutes who make a living in the city centre. On one of these visits Elen succeeds in rescuing a prostitute from a brothel and re-homing her in a woman's shelter. Show less
