So I was able to take part in Celeb Soccer 6 as one of my methods to becoming famous for being a celebrity. I was so nervous on the way to West Ham's ground as I was worried that the celebrities would be funny with me as to why I was taking part. I was given my kit for the Bad Girls Team and was directed to the changing rooms. As I walked in, there in front of me was Michelle Heaton and Bianca Gascoine getting changed into their kits and chatting away. I was even given a smile and hello as I walked in by them. They must have been thinking who the hell is that?! I quickly made friends with my team and had to tell them why I was there so that they were in on the con!
All of the celebrities chatted to me like I was one of them, they were so friendly. I asked Jack, Jade's boyfriend to ask if any of the guys in the changing room had any spare shinpads for Rochelle on my team and he was so cool about it. I didn't feel intimidated at all. As I walked through the tunnel and out to the ground lots of kids were asking me to sign their programmes, their footballs and pose for photos with them. My family and Paul Stacey were cracking up when I looked at them! My point was officially proven-just because I was at the right place at the right time, I was accepted as a celebrity. Not even the celebrities asked who I was, they accepted it too. Most of them pretend they know each other anyway as I have seen recently!
Julian Bennet was there with his little dog Lulu and it was lovely to know him and some others such as Stuart Mann from Shipwrecked (who I knew from Stevenage in Hertfordshire before the project) and a couple of other celebrities I had met at recent events so I didn't feel so alone! Other celebs included Brian McFadden, Hollyoaks cast, Big Brother cast, X Factor finalists, and many more.
My team managed to lose every match as all we wanted to do was chill out, drink and watch the other teams anyway!
I really had the most amazing day, and to top it off I managed to speak to Pete Docherty and get a photo taken with him and shared a bar with Kate Moss! She is tiny in real life but was absolutely on a high as Babyshambles won the tournament and Pete scored the winning goal.
Afterwards we had drinks in the players lounge and decided not to go to the after party as most celebs had left. I was absolutely shattered anyway, not from playing football but from my pure excitement throughout the day.
Today I was made famous for no reason, my goal is achieved.

Top notch... Pete Doherty and Kate Moss very impressive... must be the most famous people in England right now. But no actual footage of you playing football?
Thats because I was always playing in the far pitch so you from where the cameraman was sitting, you couldn't see me anyway-what a shame! I was so rubbish, we lost every match!
