Rebekah Vardy 'deeply ashamed' of Peter Andre 'chipolata' comment

Rebekah Vardy has said she regrets making a comment about Peter Andre body in a former interview. The 40-year-old, who is married to Leicester City footballer Jamie Vardy, has given her first TV interview after losing her libel trial against Coleen Rooney.

On Friday a judge found that fellow WAG Coleen, the wife of former England, Manchester United and Everton footballer Wayne Rooney, did not libel her fellow WAG after she publicly accused Vardy of leaking false stories about her to the press in a case dubbed 'Wagatha Christie.' Coleen, 36, conducted a social media sting to find out who was leaking false stories she had planted on her private Instagram account.

In October 2019 Coleen revealed her findings on social media, concluded with the now-famous words: "It’s … Rebekah Vardy’s account." During the High Court battle in May Rebekah was asked about an interview she gave to the News of the World in 2004 in which she described Mysterious Girl singer Peter's manhood as a "small chipolata."
