Currently second to last in the Sky Sports run for Mr and Mrs WAGDOM is Theo Walcott and Melanie Slade.
For those of you tired with the whole WAG phenomenon, wholesome duo Theo Walcott and Slade may be just the ticket.
Slade, like Walcott, made her breakthrough at the 2006 World Cup (the original WAG-fest) when pictures of her in Baden Baden filled every tabloid.
Ever-polite Theo might just get the Nick Clegg ‘he seems alright, but not sure what he does exactly’ vote.
Slade, a bright spark studying physiotherapy, largely eschews the celebrity circuit as she concentrates on academic pursuits.
She did, however, find time to bag herself a cameo role in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – playing a friend of Hermione Grainger – as Theo’s aunt Yvonne’s partner is David Yates, the director of the film.
She’d probably deny it, but we suspect this was at least partly motivated by a desire to bag the first-time teen voters.
