England's most notorious 'poster girl' has finally answered the burning question on everyone's mind: why isn't she at the World Cup? Astrid Wett, known for her passionate support of Chelsea and England, has been noticeably absent from the tournament in the United States, sparking confusion among her nearly one million followers.
Exclusive Interview with Daily Star
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star, Wett revealed that her social media has been flooded with inquiries. "All of my DMs and comments are asking why I'm not there – so many people are confused why England's 'poster girl' isn't in the States celebrating with the rest of the fans out there," she said.
Why She Stayed Behind
The reason for her delayed departure is surprisingly heartfelt. "I didn't go out at the beginning because I wanted to spend some time with fans back at home who aren't able to head out to America. All my friends and family are watching the World Cup from England and I wanted to experience a little of it with them, so the earlier games seemed to be the best time to spend it with them before I head out to all the madness."
Bringing Tea and Energy
Wett confirmed she will fly out soon, armed with a very special item: proper British tea. "I keep seeing a lot of people complaining about the tea. Americans don't know how to do tea. So I was thinking I want to come over with a lot of energy, I'm bringing the party, I'm bringing the vibes – and I'm also bringing the tea."
Shirt Troubles
In addition to her travel plans, Wett has faced a frustrating issue with her new England shirt. She took to X/Twitter to explain: "I ordered the new England shirt a few weeks ago with personalisation, DPD tried to deliver it twice but they didn't send me a 'delivery pin' so refused to leave the parcel. It's now been sent back to JD and they've told me they can't resend the order as it's 'their policy'." The Daily Star has reached out to DPD for comment.
