Alex Curran: even WAGs are cutting back on their spending at the moment

Alex Curran has revealed that even she is cutting back on her spending at the moment.

The WAG, who is married to Liverpool and England star Steven Gerrard, told Closer magazine: “I think people - especially WAGs - are becoming more conscious of spending money now.

“I’ve never bought labels for the sake of it. I buy as many clothes in Topshop and All Saints as I do designer. And I won’t buy an item if I don’t think it’s worth the money.

“I get my hair done twice a week, but I’m not that bothered about pampering. I do my nails myself - the nail varnish I’m wearing was only £2 from a bargain bin!”

She added that she’s worked out that the best way to improve her appearance is to get into shape - and has already lost half a stone since making a new year’s resolution to exercise more: “Steven has always encouraged me, saying ‘You should get into exercise, you’ll like it.’ But I don’t think he ever believed I would - and that I ‘d actually enjoy it! And now that I’m working out, I’m also too busy to shop.

“I just wanted to tone up - especially my stomach. I’m happy at the size I am, and being too thin doesn’t suit me. I’m not a fan of the skinny look - I think Angelina Jolie has an amazing face, but she’s gone too thin now.”
