Loving...Football

Somerset born Helen 'Hells Bells' Chamberlain, is a huge Torquay supporter. In fact Torquay's most famous supporter even sports a team crest on her backside...the left cheek apparently. Not that I can confirm that.

Helen Chamberlain is best known as a host on UK television Saturday morning show, Soccer am. It's difficult to explain the concept of Soccer am to someone who hasn't seen it, but it has been described as the Tiswas of football programmes; the description is an apt one. Past guest and Soccer am fan David Soul (that's right, Hutch the streetwise 70's detective) called the show 'three hours of mindless drivel'. There must be television gold in that drivel as the show is now in its 14th year.

In 2004 Helen posed in some rather risquhots for Penthouse Magazine. She's obviously not the shy retiring type. Surprisingly, Helen shuns the complete stereotype of the lager-loving football supporter by being tee-total.

Loving...cards

The dedicated Poker player has participated in a number of tournaments and presented on the SkyPoker television channel. Helen features on SKY's website presenting tutorials for wannabe poker players. In 2005 she managed to bag herself Poker winnings of $400,000 which she spent on...no not a warehouse of shoes but a couple of racehorses. That's some serious card playing.

Loving...cars

Helen seems to be a bit of a petrol head. In her garage she has a Range Rover Vogue SE four wheel drive luxury sports vehicle, a Jaguar XKR Convertible, the classic Austin Sprite, a Mercedes Benz 280 SE, and the thoroughbred of cars; a Austin Martin DB9.

So it seems that Helen has that attractive mix of being able to hold her own in a conversation about football and cars whilst looking hot in a swimsuit. You've got to respect that fellas.
