After burning her bridges with WAG squads in the UK, Rebekah Vardy is sure to be looking for a new group of friends after moving to Italy.
Rebekah’s husband Jamie Vardy signed for for Serie A side US Cremonese last week, with the couple flying out to Lombardy this weekend.
The 38-year-old left Leicester at the end of last season, attracting interest from a host of clubs, meanwhile Rebekah took to social media to pay tribute to Leicester, a city the Vardy family have left after 13 years.
She posted on Instagram: ‘Where history was made. Never thought saying goodbye and move in would be so hard. Forever in our hearts. Will always be watching! Go smash it lads.’
And the move abroad could prove a social boost to Rebekah, after she was embroiled in the infamous ‘Wagatha Christie’ scandal in the UK.
In 2019, fellow WAG Coleen Rooney shared a post to Instagram where she accused Rebekah of leaking stories about her to the press.
Mother-of-four Coleen, who is married to former England captain and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, had staged an elaborate sting operation to find out who was passing on stories about her private life to the press.
In retaliation, Rebekah sued Coleen for libel. However, in 2022, Justice Karen Steyn, said in her ruling that Coleen had successfully proved her allegation was substantially true.

Coleen said in a statement after the ruling that she was ‘pleased’ the decision went in her favour but that she ‘never believed’ the case should have gone to court ‘at such expense in times of hardship for so many people when the money could have been far better spent helping others’.
Rebekah was also ordered to pay a significant portion of Coleen’s legal costs – a staggering £1.6million fine.
In April this year, the Daily Mail reported that a source said Rebekah needed husband Jamie to secure one final lucrative contract in football so she could continue her ‘ultimate WAG life’ and pay the legal bill owed to Coleen Rooney that is hanging over her.
The source added: ‘She will also want to hope he will go to Saudi or the US where she wont have the cloud that hangs over her in the UK and she can start to rebuild her life as a public figure and hopefully start to earn again.
‘Rebekah will be wanting to make sure his next move will be lucrative to allow her to live the life she’s accustomed to but also to help pay of her legal fees.
‘Now that she has limited earning potential apart from her property portfolio she will need to make sure he is earning enough to keep her and their five children living the ultimate wag life’.
Now the Vardys’ move to Italy means that Rebekah can have a fresh start, perhaps gaining a whole new squad of WAG friends – so who are some of the partners of the Cremonese squad that could invite Rebekah into their inner circle?
