I sat in the audience as the show began, my close friend Sarah worked on the production team and had given me a free ticket to come and see the show.
Having arrived straight from my work (I work as an Estate Agent) so was dressed in high heels a short tight black skirt and a top tucked up but showing enough cleavage to tease some clients.
The cameras started filming and we were told to be quite initially as Behnaz Akhgar walked out onto the stage wearing a short tight navy-blue dress and white collar and on cue from a stagehand we all started to clap and cheer.
“Hello everyone, thank you for joining me tonight where I will be hosting a special National Team edition of CSWL I am standing in today for Kirsty Gallagher who I hear is still stuck at a university bar clearly she was having too much fun”
We all laughed as a video clip showed Kirsty getting beer and other drinks poured over her as she sat naked and handcuffed in a student bar.
She then carried on speaking and explained how on tonight’s show was gong to feature two games the first being an Irish derby with the Republic of Ireland hosting Northern Ireland and alongside that England would be hosting the USA both of which were the nationalities that I shared which is why I assumed Sarah had suggested I attend this edition.
Behnaz then moved on to introducing The Republic of Ireland’s representative, Laura Whitmore strolled out onto the stage waving to both the audience and to the cameras in front of us, the sexy blonde wore a tight black dress which had a see-through top triangle showing a large amount of her cleavage she seemed confident as Behnaz asked her several questions.
Behnaz then moved onto the next victim. “Please welcome onto the stage Northern Ireland’s Zoe Salmon” The former Blue Peter presenter smiled and waved as she stepped out onto the stage she was wearing a tight long blue dress which I thought was a bold choice for the show as although I didn’t know much I was aware people got messy, I was surprised by the fact that Zoe’s dress was strapless.
This is something Behnaz picked up on as well however when she questioned Zoe on it, Zoe responded confidently backing her players to do a job and spare her from a messy forfeit, Zoe then joined Laura on the large sofas in front of two widescreen TV’s ready presumably to show the action later on.
Behnaz then moved onto the second match up of England verses the USA and welcomed out onto the stage the next representative weather presenter Lucy Verasamy practically bounced as she came out onto the stage giving Behnaz a warm hug the pair of them had a quick chat and catch up as they clearly knew each other from their day jobs.
Lucy was fairly confident as England usually did better than America at football and they also were playing at Wembley.
Behnaz than began speaking once more “Now we originally had someone flying in from the USA to compete with Lucy today however unfortunately we’ve had a no show and that has left us a candidate down.
However, I’ve been told that we have an American in the audience today and I think it would be nice if they stepped forwards to represent the USA against Lucy.”
At this surprising turn of events everyone started looking around myself included not knowing who Behnaz was referring too, however she soon put everyone out of their misery when a light shined on me and she called out my name and asked me to stand up.
I nervously did so and the audience along with Lucy, Laura and Zoe encouraged me to walk down the stairs and onto the stage leaving me with little choice but to look like a miserable git, as I got onto the stage I turned to my left and looked off to see Sarah standing grinning wildly and at this moment I knew I’d be completely set up by her from the beginning.
Of course, it now seemed so obvious, why else had she taken my handbag and phone to keep safely in her work locker when she met me at the door to the studio, I quickly glared at her before I was made to introduce myself to the audience.
“Hello, I’m Nikki I work as an Estate Agent and I’m 27 years old”. The audience cheered at and clapped as I finished speaking.
I couldn’t really believe how quickly this had happened one minute I was sat watching from the audience enjoying the show next minute I’d become one of the stars of the show…
Behnaz then went onto to explain some of the rules of the competition.
If you conceded one would be a trip to the gungetank.
A second goal conceded would see the contestant in the pillories
A third goal would leave the contestant facing the Gunk tank.
Before a fourth the victim would end up very muddy,
And then if our teams conceded five or more goals, we’d be facing a mystery forfeit.
I was shocked by this, Sarah had mentioned people got messy but I’d never really paid any attention to how messy they potentially could get,
The shocks didn’t end there in fact they continued on with Behnaz explain that additional forfeits decided by spinning a wheel for things such as yellow cards, fouls, offsides and other things.
However, the big reveal that we could end up losing clothes caused me to gasp as it was announced which caused a lot of laughter from the audience as they started to realise that I genuinely wasn’t aware about coming on the show.
I joined the other contestants on the sofas as Behnaz rounded out the show and we settled down to watch both games at the same time.

So I wanted to try something different this time as I don’t think we’ve had many POV stories very often.
