The WAG index! 'Most popular' England stars' other halves turning heads at the Euros
The whole country has been backing England this week as they took on Serbia and Denmark in the EUFA European Championship group stages in Germany last week. And while the squad have been giving it their all on the pitch, the England WAGs have been in full support by their side.
Beauties such as Dani Dyer, Annie Kilner and Kate Kane have all hit headlines since touching down in Germany for the week as they looked incredible in the stadium stands. And now, Jemma McColgan, Senior Sports Editor at Casino.org, has shared why the England WAGs have garnered so much interest.
“The wives and girlfriends of the England squad are sometimes more talked about than the players and tournament. Their social media accounts will provide exclusive access to the players at the tournament and they have the potential to earn thousands from content posted at the tournament," Jemma explained.
She continued: "Some partners choose to keep their lives private, while others have their own influence and followings on social media. We are likely to see increases in the popularity of certain players' partners depending on their on-the-pitch performances and the after-game interactions and displays of affection.
"Tolami Benson’s custom leather jacket with boyfriend Bukayo Saka’s original Arsenal number stitched on the back has already increased WAG fever, with socials dubbing her “WAG of the Year”, and her Instagram following has increased by 16,500 in the past 24 hours. This is the first of viral content we can expect from the women behind the England team.”
