Original WAG Lizzie Cundy declared 'my England lucky bikini worked' and said 'this is our time' as she toasted the Three Lions' World Cup victory.

Lizzie, 58, who was once married to footballer Jason Cundy, told Daily Mail on Monday that she was exhausted after being up all night to watch England defeat Mexico, 3-2.

And sharing a picture of herself in her red and white bikini, Lizzie wrote: 'My England lucky bikini worked!… we did it! 

'I’ve never had so much excitement at 430am in the morning … Three lions with 26 heroes ,40 years since Maradona’s hand of God in Mexico! 

'This is our time, this is why I love football and why I love our country. We can do this ! My lucky England bikini is officially staying on!' 

Her good friend Ruth Langsford wrote in the comments: 'You CANNOT take that off until the final now!!'

Lizzie got married to the former Chelsea player Jason, 56, in 1994, after meeting at a nightclub in Richmond, London. They had two sons together, Josh and James.

But they split in 2012 after she discovered he had been having an affair with opera singer Hannah Pedley. 

Reflecting on the period when her marriage split became public, she described it as the 'most awful time' in her life.

She said: 'It was the most awful time when my marriage split up, not just because it was a marriage splitting up and family was being split up, it was because it was on the front page of the papers. 

'There's a picture of me in a swimsuit, looking over my shoulder, and it was all about my marriage split, and I didn't even know about it myself. And it was the reaction of other people as well.

'Friends I knew didn't know what to say. The mums at school would cross the road from me because they were embarrassed.

'They didn't really know what to say. So it actually became quite a lonely existence.'

She continued: 'And not knowing who to trust, actually doubting friends, thinking, "Could they have put that story in?" or, you know, "I only told that person, so how did it get in?"

'And quizzing and questioning people that you've known a lifetime. So that side was awful.'

Following the breakdown of her high-profile marriage, Lizzie found it hard to go back into the dating pool.

She explained: 'It's difficult when you've been in a very high-profile relationship and then go into dating, because you have a trust issue. I certainly did.

'And I've actually been on a date where we're sitting there and I've seen him push his phone, and I thought, "I think you're recording me."

'So I just said it out, "Is your phone on? Are you recording?" And he just went, "Yeah..."'

Fast forward to present day, the beauty has found a new lease of life for dating, as she described it as 'great now'.

She went on to date England rugby player Danny Cipriani and has since enjoyed some other relationships out of the public eye.

The TV star said: 'I am loving dating. I do long-distance relationships, which is fantastic.

'So, you know, you can send little naughty pics and you just keep it fresh. They're not there all the time, getting on your nerves.

'You know, guys are good for different things. You know, I used to have one guy and I'd think, "Oh, if only he was a little bit more fun and wanted to go out at night".

'I've got guys, you know, one likes football, one likes going out for dinner, one makes me laugh, one's good in bed, you know? Got it all.

'So that's what... I'm free. I love it, and I've never been happier.'
