A tabloid newspaper is looking for any Wayne Rooneys, Frank Lampards or other current member of the national squad.
If you are one, or if you know one, email info@sellthatstory.com
Also, a women’s magazine is looking for a woman whose marriage ended – after she became more successful then her husband.
Maybe he had an affair to boost his ego after she got a promotion or pay rise, or her career success made him insecure.

It’s all about relationships . . .
At SellThatStory we’re constantly being asked by newspapers and magazines for stories about people’s relationships. Here are just a few of the requests we’ve had this week.
If you fit the bill for any of these, drop us a quick email at info@sellthatstory.com
1. A daily newspaper is looking for women aged 42-plus who have mid-life babies. They want mums who have kids aged 10 or over with the same dad and who are happy yo talk about why they started a “second family”.
2. Another newspaper is looking for married couples who have divorced because mum’s the breadwinner and the husband is a stay-at-home dad. Recent stats show stay-at-home dads have increased tenfold.
3. A magazine wants to interview couples who had an affair and stayed together – or had an affair and split up. It’s for a feature on whether a relationship can survive an affair.
Can an affair help a marriage?
Or will it inevitably end in disaster? Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour looks at one website which helps people who are looking for an affair to find sex locally.
A couple speak openly about how the wife’s affair – begun after 13 years of marriage - actually strengthened their relationship.
But Angela, appearing on the programme, says that “industrialising” the process of infidelity is morally reprehensible. “It’s playing Russian roulette with your marriage,” she says.
