Synopsis:

The season at Earls Park is back on track. The men are out on the pitch scoring goals, whilst the litter of wives and girlfriends have established a hierarchy in the players' lounge. But when Tanya Turner makes a dramatic return - their lives won't ever be the same again. They're beautiful, they're filthy rich and they can have anything money can buy...so why are they hardly ever happy? Join the wives of the Earls Park FC footballers as they discover the perils, both in the spotlight and out, of being married to their famous husbands!

The fifth and final series was shown between 23 February and 13 April 2006 with eight episodes. After Lucy leaves Bruno at the altar of their Pride and Prejudice themed wedding, Amber takes the lead as the central character and wastes no time getting revenge on Bruno as she knows he killed Conrad. She moves in with him and inflicts her own brand of psychological torture on him by making him think he is losing his mind. Becoming more desperate, Amber tries to poison, then shoot, Bruno. In Amber's last and surely campest scene, she is shown wearing what looks like one of Cher's old costumes. In the struggle, she shoots Roger Webb, who loses his sight. Amber is then sectioned and sent to a mental institute for bleeding on the brain. Shannon, now divorced from Harley and feeling lonely, is delighted to hook up with the new Earls Park signing, Callum Watson. Shannon moves Callum in, but his interfering mother comes along and causes havoc. New characters include Tremaine Gidigbi and Liberty Baker, who marry in episode 5 in an Egyptian-themed, typically over-the-top wedding. Liberty, a top supermodel with a striking resemblance to Naomi Campbell, is exposed by the press for having a lesbian affair with her P.A. Urszula Rosen, then stars in a Japanese advert that makes her look like a cannibal. With Amber out of the way, Tanya returns and immediately aims to seduce Earls Park's latest star, Paulo Bardoso, and goes head-to-head with Eva de Wolffe (Joan Collins, best known as Dynasty character Alexis Colby). Tanya's joy at snatching Paulo from Eva's clutches is short-lived; he has a breakdown and is taken to a mental hospital, and Tanya finds herself penniless. New club chairman Garry Ryan kills Roger, and Jackie leaves to live with her son Kyle in Australia. Tanya discovers evidence that proved Garry's involvement. However, as series five ends, Tanya is trying to come to a "settlement" with Garry over the tape-recording that proves he caused Roger's death, when he offers her cocaine laced with poison. Series five was produced by Cameron Roach.

Footballers' Wives kicks off its final season with the return of series favourite Tanya Turner, now a widow for the third time. And it's not long before she's got those long nails into the Sparks' latest new signing, Brazilian Paulo Bardoso. But has she bitten off more than she can chew this time? Meanwhile Amber decides to exact her revenge on Bruno for shooting Conrad and Lucy might have eyes for another player. Or is it the other way around as new star Tremaine seems to be having trouble getting his model girlfriend to commit. Perhaps that's because she's playing away from home too...
