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?

@Devongirly - you need to check the date of the original post!

I didn't even know that he had split up with Rebekah? Googling now.....

He hasn’t. The thread is from 2016

Skiptheheartsandflowers · 12/05/2022 01:19

Best ever revival of an old thread. The 'finally vindicated' energy is worthy of Coleen 'Wagatha'
Rooney herself.

Bellagio40 · 12/05/2022 01:25

Excellent!

All I can say is that I have no idea what you're talking about because gossip like this doesn't interest me. I click on other news items - important stuff like wars, indian fires, the climate emergency, rise of bills, politics, nhs, health, business etc. So to stop this kind of news people have to stop wanting to read and watch all that shite.

Don’t read the thread then 😂

How did you get to this thread if you didn’t click on it? If threads are opening on their own then you should contact MNHQ.

I read the OP and thought “wasn’t his first wife a bit questionable too”. Night feeds seem like the perfect time to learn everything there is to know about RV.

Changedagain876 · 12/05/2022 03:00

Hahaha!! OP you are vindicated! Victory at last 😂

BoDerek · 12/05/2022 03:13

@MintyChapstick

Ahead of your time!!! 😂

Marvellousmadness · 12/05/2022 03:38

3 kids.. from 3 different men?
She sounds.. uh.. like she should think before she acts a bit more ...

Backtoblack1 · 12/05/2022 04:08

OP was right! Think RV has shot herself in the foot by taking Colleen to court. She’s coming off dreadfully…

You are sooooo superior to us plebz who occasionally read showbiz. Thank you for opening my eyes

1000yellowdaisies · 12/05/2022 04:32

Just wow @MintyChapstick 👌
How right you were.
I remember her doing her serious face being interviewed after she got gassed and thought 'nah she's full of it'

And the Nostradamus award goes to.......OP!

BOOTS52 · 12/05/2022 05:09

She just has that weird look on her face or maybe that is all the botox but she does not come across nice at all and is fame hungry.

YetiTeri · 12/05/2022 05:15

This thread is gold. Epic future prediction and quality stupidity and snobbery.

A580Hojas · 12/05/2022 05:25

Really enjoyed reading this zombie! Good call Mintychapstick.

I think the "weird look" is just that she's thick as mince.

Only Indian fires? That's very specific

Did you open this thread just to write that load of self righteous bollocks?

Is you superior brain not able to cope with both serious and not so serious events? I suspect the rest of us can probably manage to be interested in multiple topics

I wonder if the RV defenders have changed their opinions over the years?

Despite IACGMOOH and Dancing on Ice she's never clicked with the public and I think that says a lot, the media know what she's like

tttigress · 12/05/2022 06:12

OP, looks like you were right, very perceptive post!
