From Digital Spy;


Series four will include a shocking storyline in which three players are accused of raping a girl. The scenes, filmed in Marbella, Spain, feature Conrad Gates, Darius Fry and newcomer Bruno Milligan (Ben Richards) all bedding youngster Katie (Elaine Glover), who then reports them to the police. The storyline follows a scandal involving three Leicester City stars, who were cleared of rape on a training break in Spain earlier this year.
Nine months after her spell in Larkhall Prison, Tanya Laslett will give birth to dead husband Frank's child and then swaps her baby with Amber Gates' new child.
The series will also feature a domestic violence storyline. Bruno Mulligan takes it out on his gregarious wife Lucy (played by ex-Dream Team star Helen Latham) when his career dwindles.
Earls Park chairman Hazel Bailey will have a lesbian affair with a tennis champion.
Noah struggles with being an openly gay footballer and takes drastic action, while the Shannon-Harley relationship is in tatters after her drinking binge embarrassment.

The series will start on ITV1 after Peter Davison's series "Distant Shores" finishes

Sorry but the info you recieved about the start date is wrong. After Distant Shores is finished Life Begins Begins so to speak. Footballer's Wives doesn't air till March or maybe even April. www.thecustard.tv have Life Begins starting on Wednesday 16th and the 3rd series of FW isn't relaesed on DVD till April 4th and the series and dvd usually coniside. So you'll have to wait at least another 8 weeks for Fooballer's Wives!

A spin-off series Footballers Wives: Extra Time will also air on ITV2 with 12 x 30 minute episodes - and ITV2's first original drama commission.

Still can't wait though - the last season finished around Easter time didn't it?

Peter Andre is set to appear in the next season but if Season 3 was anything to go by then it's set to be fantastic!

In the paper today it was reported that furious watchdogs want a scene in the new series cut, where a girl is raped by 3 footballers.

Apparently the new series is now due to begin next month although there is no firm date yet.

Whoever did Home & Away's cutting in the 90s must be working on Footy Wives these days...

It really pisses me off that FW has to be cut. It's like the anal sex scene in Season 3. No need for a cut.
