IN glorious sunshine and 27C heat, the England Wags are forking out £10,000 - on fake tanning treatment.
Sunbathing spots abound at the group's luxury hotel but the girls are paying top whack to fly out a team of beauticians.
An insider said yesterday: "They last had their tans topped up the week of June 9 before they left for Germany.

"Now they are in an absolute panic because they are starting to fade."
The wives and girlfriends heard of the treatment from Ashley Cole's fianc?e Cheryl Tweedy, 22, who uses it as part of her beauty regime with Girls Aloud.
An FA official was assigned the task of calling the Fake Bake tanning company's headquarters in Soho, Central London yesterday morning to arrange it.
A Fake Bake spokesperson said: "It's a big job and we're delighted to be on board.
"A team of three tanning experts will leave tomorrow for the two-day trip. We hope it will spur the boys on to see their wives looking so good."
Those in line for the treatment are Cheryl, England coach Sven Goran Eriksson's partner Nancy Dell'Olio, Joe Cole's girl Carly Zucker, 24, and Frank Lampard's wife Elen Rives, 29.
Theo Walcott's girlfriend Melanie Slade, 17, will have her tan done as soon as she heads back to Baden-Baden on Saturday after her AS exams.
An insider said: "The girls are so excited. They all want to look their best and hate the idea of looking pasty on Sunday when they cheer on their men. Nancy is so glam and has requested a darker shade."
The special treatment, which starts at £60 a time, lasts an hour and begins with a relaxing massage and exfoliation. Fake Bake Skin Smoothie oil is applied on dry areas of the body to give an even tan.
A colour guide indicates where the tanning cream has been applied.
The cream dries instantly - and to achieve the optimum colour the treatment should be left on for up to four hours.
The cream works in harmony with each girl's complexion so they will not all look the same colour.
Meanwhile Nancy last night hosted a lavish dinner for the Wags at the magnificent Restaurant im Schloss in Neuweier castle. A plaque announces the restaurant, which specialises in Italian cuisine, has been named one of the best in Germany.
Politicians flock there and Nancy is said to have chosen it because of the Italian menu called "la cucina della passione" - the cooking of passion. Before the Wags boarded their bus to the castle, England reserve keeper Scott Carson's partner Amy Barton said: "Nancy arranged the party for us all so it will be really good. I can't wait."
The girls chose from a fabulous menu of lobster salad, smoked salmon tagliolini, Italian raw milk cheese, beef filet, saddle of lamb, and moscato ice cream. The wine list includes the 65,000 bottles produced by the castle's vineyard each year. A top vintage costs £1,000.
Some of the girls, including Nancy and Elen, went out shopping for outfits yesterday afternoon.
Posh Spice and Steve Gerrard's partner Alex Curran are away. But Wayne Rooney's fianc?e Coleen McLoughlin bought a new dress for the occasion.
A source at their £1,000-a-night Brenner's Park hotel in Baden-Baden, said: "Nancy has been trying to organise this for a while, so they've all been getting their outfits ready. They love dressing up and going out. They are getting a bit bored after a couple of weeks away. Some have even had enough of shopping.
"They love being photographed on a night out and sit around the pool going through all the papers the next day, giggling about how they look."
