Ex-WAG tells how she tried to get Duchess of Sussex a role in Made in Chelsea

REALITY TV star Lizzie Cundy has told how she helped Meghan Markle when she came to London looking for a role in Made in Chelsea.

Lizzie told GB News: “I was friends with Meghan for a while and I really got on with her.

“I was asked by a friend to look after her at a charity event and I thought, ‘who is this woman?

“No one actually knew who she was.

Talking to Nana Akua, she said: “She wanted a boyfriend and wanted to get on to the showbiz scene and wanted a job in British TV, and wanted to be Made in Chelsea, actually, the show.

“So I said look if I can help you I will, which I tried to do. I tried to hook her up with Ashley Cole, actually, actually goal actually, the former Chelsea player, but she wasn’t not his type.

“I said I’d try and hook her up with a few guys, she wanted to stay in Britain. She wanted a British boyfriend.

“So she got that one in the end and won the lottery.”

She added: “It has been an eventful life and I’ve got some great friends from it.

“I mean, obviously there’s a downside to this celebrity world with trolls and people writing stuff that isn’t true on Twitter and on social media, which I’d like to be more controlled to be honest but it is it’s fantastic life

“I’ve been very blessed and lucky to do what I do but I’ve had to fight for it because I think people think you know, ‘oh, footballers wife, she’s a bimbo’ and I had to really prove that I could do the job but because I’m afraid people do judge a book by the cover.

“And as a woman in a very male orientated business, it was quite tough.”
