‘I’m obsessed,’ shouts football wife as she wins best autumn jacket imitation at Tesco
A FASHION fanatic has hailed a £90 bargain from Tesco as the best imitation of M&S’s autumn favourite – and it’s £50 cheaper.
Ellie Butler is the childhood sweetheart of Celtic midfielder Liam Shaw, who returned to the Scottish club this season after a loan spell at Wigan Athletic.

She regularly shares her shopping hauls and outfit tips with her army of followers on social media.
It is therefore not surprising that her dressing room is full of designer bags, jewelry and shoes.
But the down-to-earth WAG still likes to go to the high street and her local supermarket to buy fashion.
In a recent videothe recently engaged blonde beauty scored an autumn must-have at Tesco.
The supermarket’s F&F Borg faux sheepskin pilot jacket costs just £39.50.
With its black lining and buckle detailing at the bottom, the pale cream jacket looks very similar to the £90 versions from both M&S and Zara.
Soccer wife Ellie is a size 10 and bought one in an XL for an oversized look.
When she tried it on at home, she said: “I saw one in Marks and Spencer and it was beautiful, but it was £90.
“Then I went to Tesco recently and they had this.
“I would say this is pretty much the same. I don’t know if the other one is maybe a little bit more beige and this one is more white, but it was £39.50.”
She added: “I have mine in an extra large size and I love it.
“This will look so cute with leggings, with Uggs, you can style it so many different ways because of the black contrast that comes through.
“You know I love coats that are really big and oversized. I probably don’t need to go extra big, but I do want to layer.
“I like to wear a hoodie underneath if it’s cold and I think this one is great too for £39.50.
“What the hell? How can it be so cheap when it’s so thick and of such good quality.
“It has pockets. I’m really obsessed with it. I think it looks so expensive, people think you’re wearing Marks and Spencer and you’re wearing a little knockoff.”
And her fellow fashion fans are just as excited about the affordable fall buys.
“I’m going to Tesco,” one promised.
“I don’t think I’ve ever bought clothes from Tesco before. That’s going to change today!”
A second simply wrote, “Necessary.”
Meanwhile, a third added: “Love the cream jacket…surprised how nice the Tesco clothes were.”
Vlogger Ellie has been with her football boyfriend since before he joined Celtic.
Liam proposed to his girlfriend Ellie while on 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.
