Show that would set tongues a-Wag-ging
Bosses keen to sign Rebekah over war with Coleen
Bosses are desperate to sign up Rebekah Vardy for a tell-all interview and series when the War of the Wags between her and Coleen Rooney is concluded.
Rebekah, who is married to Leicester City ace Jamie Vardy, has been at loggerheads with Coleen since last year when she alleged that Rebekah’s Instagram account had been used to leak stories about her to the press.
Rebekah, 38, fiercely denies the claims and last month launched a High Court libel lawsuit against Coleen, 34, who is married to former Manchester
United striker
Wayne Rooney, also 34. Following the scandal, TV producers are now keen to give Rebekah her own show. “Production companies are desperate to work with her and are pitching ideas to channels like TLC and ITV,” says my telly source.
“They would love her to do a massive TV interview or series for next year. “Some producers have expressed an interest in doing a reality format show with her and the family. “They know it would be a massive draw as everybody was fascinated by Rebekah and the whole WAG-atha Christie feud last year, and would love to know the inside track on all the mud-slinging. It would make for gripping television.”
It wouldn’t be Rebekah’s first foray into reality TV – she took part in the 2018 series of I’m A Celebrity.
The warring footballers’ wives sought mediation to try to resolve their differences, but after failing to kiss and make up, they are set to go to the High Court, with legal costs estimated to hit around £500,000 each.
The case is not expected to be heard until 2021.
In a whodunnit operation, Coleen said she posted a series of fake stories to her Instagram and blocked all her followers apart from Rebekah’s account and waited to see if any of them got into the press.
She then went public with her “findings” on social media.
