Vardy vs Rooney! Jamie & Rebekah rival Wayne & Coleen in documentary stakes due to ‘huge interest’ in WAG lifestyle of Leicester legend & his wife in Italy
Jamie and Rebekah Vardy rival Wayne and Coleen Rooney in documentary stakes due to interest in the WAG lifestyle of Leicester City legend & his wife in Italy. The rivalry between the wives of the two former England stars started in 2022 when Coleen and Rebekah got embroiled in a libel battle. The duo first collided in a tempestuous social media storm, which ultimately resulted in a public court battle.
Vardys struck TV series deal
According to The Sun, Jamie and Rebekah struck a stunning deal with ITV for a fly-on-the-wall TV series. The series, named 'The Vardys', will see Rebekah and her family starting a new life in Italy, where Leicester icon Jamie signed for US Cremonese.

'There is huge interest in Becky'
On the new ITV series, a source told The Sun: "There is huge interest in Becky and her life as a Wag, a mother and a TV personality, not to mention the relationship between her and Jamie. She’ll be seen opening up her home and heart as she provides unprecedented access at a crucial point in their history. It’s a real coup for her to have this with a channel as huge as ITV."
Vardy, 38, parted ways with Leicester City after more than a decade this summer following the expiry of his contract. Last month, he joined Serie A new-boys Cremonese on a free transfer and has made two appearances for the club thus far.
