Rebekah Vardy has revealed she spent the night at Leicester Children's Hospital. The 40-year-old WAG, who has three children with her Leicester City footballer husband Jamie, took to Instagram Stories to share the news and thank hospital staff for their care.

Rebekah wrote: 'A big thank you to the staff at @leicterhospitals children's A&E for taking such good care of us last night. You are amazing." The former I'm A Celebrity and Dancing On Ice star added to her message of appreciation with a smiling face and love hearts emoji.

Last week Channel Four announced the casting for its new film based on the 'Wagatha Christie' case. The drama will star This Is England actress Chanel Cresswell as Coleen Rooney and Harry Potter star Natalia Tena as Rebekah Vardy in the story of Rebekah's famous libel trial against fellow WAG Coleen, the wife of former Manchester United and Everon footballer Wayne.

BAFTA Award-winning actor Michael Sheen, who has previously played real-life figures Sir Tony Blair, broadcaster David Frost and Chris Tarrant, will play Coleen's barrister David Sherborne. Coleen 's hubby Wayne Rooney will be played by Dion Lloyd. Rebekah's husband will be played by Marci Nagyszokolyai.

This summer Rebekah lost a libel battle against 36-year-old Coleen over a viral social media post after a High Court judge found it was "substantially true." In the post, Coleen said she had carried out a "sting operation" and accused Vardy of leaking “false stories” about her private life to the press.

Coleen publicly claimed back in October 2019 that Rebekah's account was the source behind three stories in The Sun newspaper featuring fake details she had posted on her private Instagram. Rebekah denied leaking the stories to the media and sued for libel. Coleen's sleuthing efforts saw her dubbed 'Wagatha Christie' in reference to the popular mystery writer.
