Further details
Gemma and Jeff find themselves at a local film première where a team of footballers is in attendance. Suddenly, Gemma's aspirations of becoming a Wag seem a distinct possibility as she and Jeff follow them to a local club.
When one of the footballers asks Gemma out on a date both she and Jeff are nearly fit to explode with excitement. Kenny goes into overdrive planning Gemma's press but neither of them realises it's a case of mistaken identity as the footballer in question plays not for Manchester United, but for Macclesfield United. Things come to a dramatic head with the fabled paparazzi within spitting distance, but it seems that Gemma's dream is destined to remain just that for the time being.
