Like Annie Walker I dumped my cheating footballer – she must be strong as Lauryn will smirk & be prepared to get nothing

ANNIE Walker, listen up, I’ve been there, done that, and got the T-shirt. 

When you’re married to a footballer, life can feel like a never-ending rollercoaster ride - highs, lows, and everything in between.

You’ve just filed for divorce from England ace Kyle Walker, and I’ve got some sage advice for you.

Keep your wits about you, don’t trust easily and carry on.

It seems you have finally had enough of Kyle's ‘love rat’ antics and have instructed lawyers to begin legal proceedings to end your marriage. 

And now, you're gearing up to fight for half of his £27 million fortune.

But Annie, remember that no amount of money can compensate for the devotion and loyalty you’ve given to him and your family. 

And brace yourself - you might end up walking away with nothing.

I was married to former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur footballer Jason Cundy, so I know a thing or two about a public divorce.

After getting married in 1994 and sharing two sons, Josh, 29, and James, 26, I enjoyed the highs of two World Cups.

But after cheating allegations, my world came crashing down in 2012 when I decided to file for divorce.

There were times I wanted it all to end.

People might see me happy and smiling, but many times on the red carpet, I was at my lowest.

I didn’t want any outsiders, or other women, to think they were winning.

For you, there’s obviously another woman involved - Lauryn Goodman, Kyle’s ex-mistress, who shares two children with him. 

It’s crucial that you don't show any signs of weakness or let Lauryn think she’s won. 

I’d advise giving the yellow card but not showing the red card just yet

Lizzie Cundy

As Victoria Beckham once said, ‘Why should I ever let any woman ruin what we have?’ and that’s the truth. 

Annie, think twice before making such a big decision - don’t act in the heat of the moment.

Although Lauryn has also been hurt, she might be smirking at the divorce news, thinking she’s won. Don’t give her that satisfaction.

And trust me, there are no real winners here, except for the lawyers with their big pay cheques.

It’s a public breakup, so you need to play your cards right. 

When moving forward with this divorce, I’d advise giving the yellow card but don't show the red card just yet - you don’t want it to turn into a Derby match.

It’s very difficult when you're hurt and feeling distraught, especially with the whole world watching. 

The WAG world is like no other; they are in a league of their own. 

Annie, you need to surround yourself with the right WAGs - those who will offer support without their own agendas. Don’t take advice from outsiders.

If I could turn back time, I’d have different people around me, that’s for sure.

After it’s all said and done, Annie, you, can walk away from the marriage with your head held high

Lizzie Cundy

I listened to those I didn't really know, who had agendas that weren’t necessarily in my best interest.

I felt like the carpet had been pulled from under my feet. I wouldn't wish this situation on my worst enemy.

It’s very hard when you're in this football world and everyone has their own opinion on who to listen to. 

It was the worst time of my life, but Annie, you will get through it. 

You will grow from it and become stronger. I know that sounds corny, but it’s true.

After it’s all said and done, Annie, you, can walk away from the marriage with your head held high.

Like me, you could even make a career out of it. 

While you should prepare to walk away with nothing, you’ll also be able to begin a whole new life.

Look, I’m the Queen of reinventing myself and having a life away from football - I’ve even got a new show on Amazon coming out soon, Red Carpet Uncut.

I’d advise anyone in a similar situation to find their own path, focus on something they love, and reinvent themselves because they are worth it. 

Annie, you are a beautiful person with everything going for you, including wonderful children. There is indeed a life after football.

Listen to the right people, follow your heart, and don’t let the other woman win

Lizzie Cundy

When you're married to a footballer, that lifestyle consumes you 24/7. 

It’s not always a bed of roses, especially if they’re frequently in the press, dealing with injuries, or not being selected for the team.

So remember, Annie, be the strong woman that you are and have always been.
