A show about Jamie and Rebekah Vardy’s move to northern Italy as the dust settles on the “Wagatha Christie” scandal should, in theory, be television gold.
Among the present crop of low-key but essentially forgettable WAGs – can you name any of the latest England squad’s other halves? It’s a far cry from the glory days of Baden-Baden – Rebekah is an outspoken, love-her-or-loathe-her character. Her vaguely villainous reputation has only been compounded by the mad celebrity pageantry of the “Wagatha” high court libel case, which she launched against fellow WAG Coleen Rooney, who accused Rebekah in a notorious 2019 tweet of leaking stories about her to the media (Rebekah lost the case, and later agreed to pay 90 per cent of Coleen’s legal costs).
