Just Arsenal News

The Arsenal winger Theo Walcott must be quite proud that his girlfriend Melanie Slade is not an airhead. She is studying to be a physiotherapist at university, and is very determined to fulfil her wish to follow her own career as a physio.

Despite this, her relationship with Theo has also got her noticed enough that she has become the new face of fashion for Helly Hansen, and next week she will be going to Manchester to open their new store in the Arndale Centre.

She told The Diary that she is happy to see what the future holds with an open mind: “My goal is still to work as a physio, but in terms of what options are available, I’m happy to see what offers come my way too.

“I’ve always believed in having my own career. And anyway, the whole WAG term isn’t used that much anymore.”

Although she is now classed as a model, she says she doesn’t wear normal WAG “attire” e.g. High heels and mini-skirts!

“I’m always in comfortable stuff really. Especially being at uni, my style is very relaxed, I love my jeans and a baggy sweatshirt.”

She was then asked if she got to see Theo play much for Arsenal (Hmmm, no-one does nowadays!). She replied: “I struggle to go to midweek games because of university, but I try to get to weekend games,”

And would she go to South Africa if he got picked for the England squad? “Hopefully he’ll be in the squad, and hopefully I’ll be out there.” she said. “I just want to support Theo, and it’s an amazing thing to go and watch World Cup football.”

We all hope he will get fit enough to make the England squad, and we hope to see more of BOTH of you in the future!
