Nicola McLean has rubbished claims that her pal Rebekah Vardy is "broke" following the outcome of the Wagatha Christie trial.
Last Friday, Mrs Justice Steyn ruled in favour of Coleen Rooney in the libel case and said that Rebekah had regularly passed information about her fellow WAG to the press.
Discussing the outcome of the explosive trial on Monday's Good Morning Britain, hosts Kate Garraway and Richard Madeley invited Nicola onto the ITV show to comment on Rebekah's next move.
Richard began: "I think possibly the reason there's a bit of a backlash about this plan for Rebekah to make money off the back of this... it's almost a moral argument. The thing is, the judge in this case basically said that she'd lied off her face. There's a sense that there's something wrong with her being able to make a lot of money off the back of telling porkies?"
Speaking live from Cyprus, Nicola said: "Okay, well Becky has come out hasn't she and said she disagrees with what the judge has said, so that's for her... I wasn't there, I don't know, but I think that everyone else is monetising over this.
"For three years this has been absolutely glorified by everyone, people have loved reading about it so I think why shouldn't both girls, not just Rebekah, but if Coleen wants to also do Netflix docs or whatever it's been reported, then why not?
"They've got a right to earn money over something that's been personal to them. Everybody else is earning money from it so why shouldn't they?" Nicola continued.
Richard then said: "Well, Ms Vardy... it's said that she might go on some kind of tour to recoup her losses because she's down about £3million in terms of the costs, so there's a long way to go. What kind of a tour would that be?
Nicola replied bluntly: "I mean has she said that? Because I would be very, very shocked... I know Rebekah and I would be deeply shocked if she was doing some sort of audience tour so I don't know if that's the truth.
"Whether or not she plans to do a book or to do a tell-all interview or whether she's gonna be involved in any documentary, that's not a conversation that we've had but why shouldn't she?
"But a tour, I mean Rebekah would not stand in front of a live audience for a tour, no chance!" Nicola added matter of factly.
Kate then asked: "Is she broke? Is it really a question of money? Coz it would be for any normal person wouldn't it? Is that her position?"
Grinning, Nicola responded: "Guys, come on you really think that Rebekah Vardy married to Jamie Vardy is broke? She wouldn't have gone to court if she was broke."
Kate responded: "Okay, so in that case if she doesn't need the money, there will be people that say after such a brutal bruising of going through all of this, why put yourself above the parapet to be even seen to be cashing in on it? Why not want to retreat and lick wounds, I guess is the question that people might be asking."
"It's not a question that I've asked her, I've not asked her what she plans to do work wise because it's too soon to have those conversations I'd say," Nicola said.
"But I don't think Rebekah's gonna go and lick her wounds. She's come out and said that she's disappointed with what the judge has said. I don't think she thinks she's been treated very fairly.
"If she wants to come out and have her say, then why not? Let her come out and have her say, everyone wants to hear it, don't we?" she added.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV and ITV Hub.
