MOTD host and WAG take sixth break in ten months

According to Britain’s favourite red top tabloid, Gary Lineker is currently living it up in Barbados with his current lady friend Danielle Bux. There’s nothing strange about that, except when you consider it is the third time they have been to the Caribbean destination in the past ten months, and in the same brief time period, Lineker’s gruelling work schedule has allowed for three additional romantic getaways in Miami, Vienna and Rome. It’s clearly a hard life working for the Beeb.

WAGs currently drifting on the periphery of the Premier League (we’re looking at you, Meares and Lloyd) have much to learn from Danielle. By bagging an ex-pro rather than a current player, she may have to put up with moaning about back pain and receding hairlines, but there’s no pesky season to get in the way of the good life. Enjoy those cocktails, Ms. Bux, you and your initiative thoroughly earned them.

The newlywed who could become a newlydivorced very soon

Late last year, Sunderland striker Rocky Michael Chopra (yes, that is his first name) announced that he had become engaged to girlfriend Heather Swan. Their relationship was cemented by the birth of their first son Sebastian Rocco Thomas Chopra in February of this year, and they enjoyed a lavish £250,000 wedding ceremony last month.

Instead of heading off on their Barbados honeymoon to begin a life of wedded bliss, however, they publicly fought like cat and dog, and Chopra stormed home leaving Heather alone in paradise. Since then, the one-month marriage has taken a turn for the worse, and Chopra is reported to be living in rented accommodation.

Enhancing the reputation of Swedish au pairs worldwide

Swedish au pairs are often stereotyped as devastatingly beautiful blondes, who are partial to wearing less clothes than society deems necessary. Former model Elin Nordegren does nothing to dispel this perception. She and twin sister (!) Josefin were working as childminders for Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik in 2001, when she caught the attention of a young man named Tiger Woods. They were engaged in 2003, married in 2004, and enjoying the birth of their first child Sam Alexis Woods in 2007. Poor old Jesper, meanwhile, has had to make do with just one incredibly hot au pair.

Crystal Palace’s greatest contribution to Waggery, society

Anyone who has sat in the rickety wooden stand above the Player’s Lounge at Selhurst Park will know it’s not the most glamorous place in the world, yet you may frequently find WAGs Boutique star Elle Isaac sitting there, drinking in the crisp Croydon air. She met Palace and Barbados midfielder Paul Ifill while working as a bar manager in Brighton during her university holidays, and they had a daughter named Romy in 2006.

Part one of The Spoiler’s in-depth WAG holiday analysis

Without the need to attend a European Championships, it’s only natural that the nation’s premier supporting ladies have escaped the thoroughly unpredictable English weather for sunnier climes.

Pictured above is Steven Gerrard using a common Liverpudlian communication technique to attract the attention of his lovely wife Alex Curran while relaxing in Miami. See more pictures of Mrs Gerrard here.

Over in Italy, former Miss Ireland Claudine Palmer is enjoying her honeymoon with brand new hubby Robbie Keane. He’s in the photo waving at the camera, but the wee lad only comes up to her shin. See more of Claudine here.

More WAG holiday madness after the jump…

Was he flying home, or to an interview?

Tuesday, 8am: Our eagle-eyed spotter saw Alan Shearer and his wife in a VIP lounge at Gatwick Airport this morning. He had just arrived from Barbados (where he has been holidaying with chums including Rob Lee) and was preparing to board the 8.30am flight to Newcastle.

Unsurprisingly, he looked ‘very tanned’.
