Murrays are set for baby No 3

- By Keiran Southern

Morning: “[Coleen] could have stopped this. She didn’t need to do this. I’m not saying Coleen is a bad person. I don’t know her.

“As a mother, we are aware of what happens when you post something. She knew that and chose to put a pregnant woman under this much stress.”

Rebekah had told Coleen: “I am so upset you’ve chosen to do this especially as I’m heavily pregnant.”

But a friend of Coleen said that Rebekah’s allegation­s were “below the belt”.

A source said: “These claims made by Vardy’s friends are disgusting. They are diverting from the real issue here – that private informatio­n about Coleen was leaked.”

Coleen was dubbed “WAGatha Christie” after turning detective in a bid to prove that Rebekah’s Instagram account was the source of that leaked stories about her private life. Rebekah furiously denies any wrongdoing and said she had hired a cyber security expert to clear her name.

She revealed what was said in a phone call between the warring WAGS after Coleen went public with her allegation­s.

“I said to her, ‘Coleen, what on earth have you done?’,” Rebekah said.

“It was not an easy phone call. She said to me, ‘I’m not pointing the finger’ and I said, ‘You have just annihilate­d me in public and hung me out to dry. The whole world hates me!’. I thought she was my friend but she completely annihilate­d me.”

Asked if they argued on the phone, Rebekah replied: “That would be like arguing with a pigeon.

“You can tell it that you are right and it is wrong, but it’s still going to s*** in your hair.”

Rebekah said the row “escalated and escalated”.

She said: “I wasn’t going to say anything, but it has gone so extreme.

“I have been told that I should die, that my children should die, that my unborn child should die. It would be unacceptab­le for anyone.

“I am tough but this has made me cry. It is hard to explain how horrible it has been.”

‘She chose to put a pregnant woman under this stress’

had SIR Andy Murray says he and wife Kim are expecting their third child, which could arrive next week.

Kim, 31, sparked pregnancy rumours in July after arriving at Wimbledon in a maternity top to watch her husband play mixed doubles with Serena Williams.

Two-time Wimbledon champion Sir Andy, 32, who is battling back after a career-threatenin­g hip injury, said: “The baby can come any time from pretty much next week.”

Sir Andy and Kim already have two daughters Sophia, three, and Edie, who will be two next month.
