I’m a football player and found the best summer dress for £19 that ‘looks expensive’
A FOOTIE WAG has proven she’s still a true high street girl after snapping up the perfect dress at Boohoo for just £19.
Ellie Butler is the childhood sweetheart of former Celtic midfielder Liam Shaw, who signed a loan deal with Wigan Athletic last summer.

She regularly shares her shopping hauls and outfit creations with her followers on social media.
And although her dressing room is filled with designer bags and shoes, the down-to-earth Wag also loves a bargain.
In a recent videothe recently engaged blonde beauty bought a number of items from Boohoo’s summer 2024 collection.
She bought a trendy leopard print maxi dress, two shirt and shorts combo dresses for a trip to Italy and a pink knitted maxi dress.
She also bought an oversized Ibiza T-shirt, black 2000s-inspired pedal pushers and a cream linen lounge set.
But it was a white maxi dress that prompted her to order online.
She said, “This is why I did it [a Boohoo] load.
“I’ve been engaged for almost two months now, so whenever I see a pretty white outfit, I immediately add it to my cart.”
Available in sizes 38-46, the satin and chiffon blend maxi dress features delicate spaghetti straps and a deep side slit.
Normally it costs £32, but now it’s on sale for just £19.20.
When Ellie put it on, she enthused, “I love it. I just love the style of it.
“This is the perfect outfit for an engagement party, a bachelorette party or just if you want a beautiful white dress for a holiday.
“I kept the right size, size 10, and it fits really well.
She added: “I love the little slit details and the mesh at the bottom.
“I just think it’s a really nice shape and it also looks expensive.”
She completed the look with a silver Zara bag and clear plexiglass heels.
Vlogger Ellie has been with her football boyfriend since before he joined Celtic.
Liam, who spent last season on loan at Wigan Athletic, proposed to his girlfriend Ellie during a holiday in Jamaica in May.
The childhood sweethearts met when Liam was working at Sheffield Wednesday.
His time at Celtic has not really paid off on the pitch, with the 23-year-old having made just two appearances for the club since arriving under Ange Postecoglou in 2021.
In previous seasons he was loaned to Motherwell and Morecambe and despite all the turmoil he and Ellie have come on strong.
When Ellie shared the news of their engagement on social media, accompanied by a photo of her huge diamond ring, she said: “Forever and ever.”
