Original WAG Lizzie Cundy expressed her fervent support for the England national football team as they prepared to compete in a World Cup semi-final. Cundy, a television personality and ex-wife of former Chelsea player Jason Cundy, donned a bikini emblazoned with the Saint George's Cross, which she refers to as her "lucky England bikini." She shared her enthusiasm by singing Oasis's hit song "Wonderwall" and dancing in her garden.
Cundy stated her belief that the bikini had previously coincided with a victory, noting she had worn it during England's 3-2 win against Mexico in the quarter-finals. "My lucky England bikini worked," she declared at the time, adding, "this is our time." She expressed her excitement at supporting the team, especially given the 40th anniversary of the "Hand of God" incident involving Maradona in Mexico. "We can do this! My lucky England bikini is officially staying on!" she proclaimed.
The match was scheduled against Argentina in Atlanta at 8 p.m. BST. Cundy's public support for the team comes as they aimed to reach their second World Cup final, their first since winning the tournament in 1966.
Earlier in her career, Cundy was married to footballer Jason Cundy from 1994 until their split in 2012. Reflecting on the period following their divorce, which became public knowledge, she described it as an "awful time" due to the media attention and the impact on her personal life. She recounted instances where acquaintances seemed uncertain how to interact with her and mothers at her children's school would avoid her. This experience led to feelings of loneliness and a difficulty in trusting others.
Following her high-profile marriage, Cundy found dating challenging due to trust issues, recalling an instance where she suspected a date was recording her. However, she has since found a renewed enjoyment in dating, describing her current experiences as "great." She has engaged in long-distance relationships, which she finds advantageous for maintaining freshness. Cundy humorously noted that she has multiple partners, each fulfilling different needs, stating she has "got it all" and has "never been happier."
