REBEKAH Vardy was first propelled to fame when her husband, Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, led his team to the most unexpected of Premier League victories.

Vardy's got a big year coming up, from her "Wagatha Christie" court war with Coleen Rooney to her Dancing on Ice appearance.

Who is Rebekah Vardy?

Rebekah Vardy is the 38-year-old wife of Leicester City football player Jamie Vardy.

Born Rebekah Nicholson, she moved around between Norwich, Reading and Oxford.

The star met her future husband after she was hired to organise his birthday party in January 2014.

The family live in an eight-bedroom mansion in Lincolnshire.

Rebekah hit the headlines in October 2019 after becoming embroiled in a very public spat with Coleen Rooney over accusations that she had "leaked stories" to the press about Coleen.

Wayne's wife told her 1.2 million followers that Rebekah had been giving The Sun information about her “private posts and stories”.

The pair have been agreed to a stay in proceedings to resolve things outside of court to avoid a full-blown High Court libel battle this year.

For Dancing on Ice 2021, Rebekah has been partnered up with pro Andy Buchanan.

Who is her husband Jamie?

Rebekah's husband Jamie is a Premier League-winning striker for Leicester City and England.

Vardy made history in 2015 for becoming the first player to score in 11 consecutive Premier League matches.

How many children does Rebekah have with Jamie Vardy?

After a two-year relationship and the birth of their first child, Sofia, the couple tied the knot at Cheshire's Peckforton Castle on May 25, 2016.

Rebekah and Jamie then welcomed their second child, baby Finlay, in January 2017.

On December 28, 2019 Rebekah revealed she had given birth to baby daughter Olivia Grace.

In addition to the three kids she has with Jamie, Rebekah has two children, Megan and Taylor, from previous relationships.

Jamie also has a five-year-old daughter, Ella, from a relationship with Emma Daggett, bringing their combined brood up to six.

What is Rebekah's net worth?

Rebekah’s precise net worth isn’t known, however Jamie’s amounts to almost £10million.

Rebekah, 38, is seeking substantial damages from Coleen Rooney in their libel war.

However, the wags have been warned about their legal costs.

Justice Nicklin said: “This case is particularly straightforward and I shall not expect costs above £25,000 (excluding VAT) for each party.

"I encourage the parties to reach agreement about costs budgeting.”

What has Rebekah said about her ex-husband?

Rebekah previously revealed that she divorced her ­second husband while he was in jail for killing two people in a car crash.

In a Sun on Sunday interview, the I’m A Celeb star spoke for the first time of her three marriages and the abuse she says she suffered at the hands of her second husband, Steve Clarke.

Brave Becky insisted: “I was lucky to get out when I did.”

She decided to set the record straight on her past before entering the Aussie jungle for the ITV show.

She said: “I know marrying three times makes me sound like Zsa Zsa Gabor, but after a difficult childhood I made some stupid mistakes and went out with some real-life snakes!”

What has Rebekah Vardy said about being sexually assaulted?

The footballer's wife offered an emotional account of how she had been sexually assaulted as a teenager when appearing on Loose Women in October 2017.

Speaking to panellists Ruth Langsford, Nadia Sawalha and Janet Street-Porter, she told of how she was assaulted in her "early teens".

"It was someone quite close to me but not a member of my family. I had conversations with numerous members of my family about it but they persuaded not to take it any further," she said.

"They said it would not be beneficial to report it. I didn't tell anyone outside the family about it."

Rebekah said the abuse was one of the reasons she left home at 16.

What TV shows has she appeared in?

Rebekah has made a name for herself on TV shows like Good Morning Britain, This Morning and Loose Women.

Vardy has announced she will be appearing on the next series of Dancing on Ice. 

She has also appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox and I’m A Celebrity in 2017.
