And lift: Carly Cole, helped by her family, pack up her London home today ready for her move up north after her husband Joe Cole was signed to Liverpool


Most pampered WAGs might enlist the services of a removal firm.

But Carly Cole (nee Zucker) took the DIY approach as she packed up her London home ready for her move to Liverpool.

The 26-year-old showed no fear of getting stuck in as she loaded bags, a cot and baby carrier into a car outside her house, assisted by her family.

Carly, the wife of England footballer Joe Cole, is set to move up north with her husband and their four-month-old daughter Ruby after Cole was bought by Liverpool FC from Chelsea.

And being a fitness instructor, Carly clearly had no qualms about working up a sweat as she steadfastly made countless trips back and forth with her family's household possessions.

At one point she was seen hoisting a white cot down the steps of her property, helped by two female members of her family.

Hands on: Carly then then makes some space for some more baggage


She even managed to crack a smile after managing to carry the cumbersome item to the car.

But her driver then stepped in and helped the ladies lift it into the boot.

The task in hand did appear to take its toll on the former I'm A Celebrity star, however, and she did have to take a few breathers in between trips.

Carly will now be living near the likes of Coleen Rooney and Alex Gerrard, whose footballer husbands Wayne and Steven play for Manchester United and Liverpool respectively.

Liverpool midfielder Joe is looking forward to the challenge of playing for his new club, insisting his move to Merseyside was decided purely on football terms.

Much was made of the wage demands - reportedly £90,000-a-week - the England
international was making having become a free agent following his release from
Chelsea.

And having previously played for West Ham he was expected to remain in London with Arsenal and Tottenham both interested, but was convinced Anfield was the place to start afresh.

Cole said he remembered the atmosphere when he played at the ground for Chelsea
in the Champions League semi-final of 2005, which Liverpool won on penalties
before going on to lift the trophy in Istanbul, and was looking forward to
experiencing that on a more regular basis.

'This is a massive club. I tried to take everything out of the equation, take
the financial and location side out and just thought in football terms,' said
the England international, who has signed a four-year contract after passing his medical.

'I thought about the semi-final of the Champions League in 2005 when I ran
onto the field and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

'I was thinking about playing in that atmosphere every week and that swung it for me.

'I know I have made the right decision and I am looking forward to the challenge.

'I have played in London all my life. I could have stayed at Chelsea because
the fans loved me and I won things, but I wanted to challenge myself and when I
knew Liverpool were interested it was a no-brainer because they are the biggest
club in the country.'
