Rebekah's plans to revamp image

Footballer's wife Rebekah Vardy has had a tough time since the celeb court case of the decade so-called Wagatha Christie trial of 2022-when she sued fellow WAG Coleen Rooney for libel.

Coleen, 38, had described the Leicester City WAG as "someone who I trusted" and accused her of "consistently informing" a national newspaper about things she'd been posting on her private social media account. Rebekah then sued Coleen for libel, but the High Court judge ruled in Coleen's favour and said her claim about the leak was "substantially true".

Since the court case ended two years ago, Rebekah has largely kept a low profile - but now the 42-year-old, who took part in I'm A Celeb in 2017, could be planning her comeback.

"It's no secret that Rebekah has been battling with what the public think of her," a source exclusively told us. "She's throwing her name into the hat for everything, in order to win them back. But she'll need to work hard after they lost faith." Now, Rebekah - who is mum to Megan, 19, and Taylor, 14, from previous relationships, and shares Sofia, nine, Finley, seven, and four-year-old Olivia with husband Jamie Vardy-is reportedly keen to close the door on the scandal once and for all.
