Ignore Becky and keep your dignity'

Coleen Rooney advised Kyle Walker’s wife Annie Kilner to “stay strong” last week as the latest war of the WAGs raged on.

It came as Rebekah Vardy took to Instagram, begging to be “kept out” of any drama, while sharing a text in which she called Annie – wife of scandal-hit Manchester City footballer Kyle Walker – “weak” and said she had a “sad and miserable” life.

While Annie, 30, will have undoubtedly been rocked by Becky’s tirade, she’s grown closer to pal Coleen, 36. And a source told new the pair have bonded over being on the receiving end of Becky’s “public jibes”.

“Coleen told Annie to stay strong, ignore Becky and to keep her dignity. It’s worked for Coleen in the past and she’s hoping she can coach Annie through this so she emerges the bigger person,” our source said.

Becky, 41, posted the screenshot of the scathing text she sent Annie alongside a video. In the clip, she said she had been forced to share the message to “provide clarity” as the text had been “given to” a national newspaper but only part of it had been quoted.

The latest drama kicked off two weeks ago when Becky, who’s married to Leicester City striker Jamie, posted a comment – “the gift that keeps on giving” – shortly after it was reported Kyle had been caught on camera allegedly exposing himself and kissing a woman at a bar in Manchester. Last Friday, it was revealed he will not face criminal charges, but was hit with an out-of-court disposal instead. The investigation is now closed.
