About Jamie Vardy's new wife?

I'm quite prepared to be flamed over this, but I can't be the only one to think that there is something really off about her? She is really milking his new found fame for all it's worth, desperately trying to turn herself into the new Victoria Beckham/Coleen Rooney. First it was the newspaper interviews, then the lingerie shoot, followed by the big OK wedding spread.

Now very conveniently she was caught up in all the trouble between England and Russia fans over the weekend and ended up getting tear gassed. Managing to get her face on the front pages of course, and this morning I woke up to see her being interviewed via satellite on Good Morning Britain about her terrible experience, looking all serious. I thought it was just me, but you could tell from the way he was questioning her that Piers Morgan also thought she was talking complete bollocks.

Now I know she's not the first woman to use her footballing husbands fame to boost her own career prospects but he's apparently estranged from his entire family, parents and grandparents because they dislike her and they didn't attend the wedding. Then you hear that she has form for selling kiss and tell stories going back years, I can't help but think that she's been waiting her whole life for this gravy train to arrive.

Am I just being a massive bitch here?

Awful to call a women a bitch.

Op was referring to herself as the bitch!!

YoureSoSlyButSoAmI · 13/06/2016 18:40

YANBU OP. She seems utterly ghastly but you know what MN is like 🙄

ghostyslovesheep · 13/06/2016 18:40

why do you care? Just stop reading shitty celeb mags and so called 'news' papers

You sound overly invested - I'm going with Peter or the MIL

WorraLiberty · 13/06/2016 18:41

but it's her sheer desperation to get her face into the papers that irks me.

Why though?

And that's a genuine question btw.

I'm curious to know why anyone being desperate to get their face into the papers, would irk you?

Cutecat78 · 13/06/2016 18:44

TBH I do not think starting a thread about it is "over invested".

People start threads about all sorts - and people saying that clicked on this thread to read it!! Grin

KissMyArse · 13/06/2016 18:46

Yes you're being a bitch but so am I as I agree with the tear gas thing.

I saw the picture and she was the only one who seemed to be affected by it (jumper held across her mouth). Seemed a little bit staged, but then again I wasn't there. For someone who was tear gassed she sure had lovely white eyes afterwards in all the subsequent pictures.

She's obviously going to stick up for the fans after the threats to send England home if there's more trouble. It would cut her holiday short and her husband won't get the opportunity to play in Euro '16.

I am, however, a cynical old trout and she might be an absolute darling!

Cutecat78 · 13/06/2016 18:47

She's back home now but flying out for the next game - thats what she said on GMB this morn Smile

IcyTeaAndScoopyScoopyDogDog · 13/06/2016 18:48

I didnt know about his wife till a work colleague showed me the story on the Daily mail. I dont ready the Daily Mail.

Is that where you are getting your story from?

Grilledaubergines · 13/06/2016 18:49

That's not what I said cute and you know that. I doubt it's what she wanted either. I've yet to meet anyone who was delighted because their relationship with their child's mother or father has broken down. I would reiterate what I said for your benefit however I can't be arsed.

Kirriemuir · 13/06/2016 18:49

She's not on holiday. She was at home this morning on her sofa talking about it and also highlighting that her bag wasn't searched going into the stadium which surprised me given what's happened in France.

WorraLiberty · 13/06/2016 18:52

That's what I thought (she's not on holiday).

I'm pretty sure during this morning's interview, she was in Leicestershire

Gottagetmoving · 13/06/2016 18:53

Who cares whether someone wants to get their face in the papers or magazines? Some people like attention, which is no better or worse than someone wanting no attention whatsoever.There are many many people who see publicity.
You don't have to like her and will probably never bump into her so she has no impact on you personally whatsoever.
As for her husband's family, they don't have to like her and if they say negative things about the woman that's up to them and her to resolve.
You don't have to like her.

Grilledaubergines · 13/06/2016 18:53

It said Melton Mowbray on tv. That's Leicestershire isn't it?

That's a very interesting point she makes about bags not being searched, given the terrorist and football violence threats

tudasaurus · 13/06/2016 18:57

Ah poor Peter Andre, he never sells any stories so it must have been hard for him to be talked about.

Cutecat78 · 13/06/2016 18:58

She said his penis was like a chipolata..... Hmm

MetallicBeige · 13/06/2016 19:02

She's a Ched Evans apologist, which I can't get past really.

ilovesooty · 13/06/2016 19:03

I can't believe anyone is seriously questioning whether she was tear gassed.

Horrible thread.

Cutecat78 · 13/06/2016 19:04

I didn't think she actually said she was tier gassed....

Wolpertinger · 13/06/2016 19:05

Numerous fans have reported trigger happy teargassing and lack of bag searching in Marseilles.

If she's prepared to use her media profile to speak out about the shambles of policing out there on behalf of the fans, good on her.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 13/06/2016 19:07

No one had heard of Jamie Vardy back in August of last year, she was his girlfriend and had had his child, before we'd heard of him through Leicester.

So what if she likes the reflected glory?, if Jamie doesn't care and f courages her, so what?

tabpepsi · 13/06/2016 19:07

to use the word bitch us vile and makes the user sound very unpleasant.

sorry if its been pointed out before, she has 3 children with three different men and ALSO he has 2 children with 2 different women but its always about her being a 3x3!!!

they're obviously happy for her to forge a media career and that's fine.

btw, having children with different fathers/mothers is also fine if that's how its turned out. no- one is perfect.
