Rebekah Vardy tells fans 'no excuses' as she shows off her six pack in a pink bikini

Rebekah Vardy told fans there was 'no excuse' not to exercise as she showed off her six-pack in a pink bikini.

The mum-of-five, 40, is sunning herself on holiday after her landslide loss in the Wagatha Christie case against Coleen Rooney.

The wife of Leicester City player, Jamie Vardy, looked incredible in the two-piece as she posed up a storm in the pic which she captioned: "No equipment, no excuses".

Rebekah has jetted off abroad following her very public trial with the wife of Wayne Rooney, Coleen.

The WAG accused Rebekah's Instagram account of leaking various stories to the British media – which Rebekah claimed was defamatory.

Following the now infamous post, the Norwich-born WAG launched a High Court legal case in a bid to clear her name - but after a year-and-a-half-long feud, a judge ruled in favour of Coleen.

The trial attracted global interest, keeping fans around the world rapt.

The case was so popular it's now being made into a drama, which will be shown on Channel 4.

The broadcaster confirmed the news of the series on Twitter, calling it the trial that “put social media under the legal spotlight”.

The two-part docudrama will be titled Vardy v Rooney: A Courtroom Drama and will be written by journalist and documentary maker Chris Atkins.

Actress Chanel Cresswell will play the role of Coleen while Rebekah will be played by Game of Thrones' Natalie Tena.

Michael Sheen has also bagged a role in the production, playing Coleen's high profile barrister David Sherborne.

The plot of the series will revolve around genuine courtroom transcripts, revealing previously un-televised moments from the case.

Director Oonagh Kearney said: “This trial utterly captivated the public with its daily feed of entertaining exchanges and jaw-dropping reveals.

“But behind this, is a story of two women under constant public scrutiny, fighting for their reputations."

Tim Hancock, commissioning editor at Channel 4 said that the court transcripts used in the show “give a deep insight into the relationship between celebrities and the media, as well as showing how far some people will go to protect their reputation”.

The trial is also heading for the West End.

A play will be staged by the producers behind Agatha Christie’s drama Witness for the Prosecution.

Vardy v Rooney: the Wagatha Christie Trial will be adapted from the original high court transcripts and directed by Lisa Spirling.

“I was fascinated by the trial,” said Eleanor Lloyd, the play’s producer and president of the Society of London Theatre, who added: "it felt like such an extraordinary example of celebrity culture."
