As ever, social media was quick to react. One follower of the drama ensured that Vardy was aware of her rights.

Before too long the accused, Rebekah Vardy, offered her retort and declared her innocence, claiming she had done nothing wrong.

Her denial was compared to that of another famous footballing personality.

And soon after the Vardys were seen making a joint statement in person.

Meanwhile, one shrewd Fantasy Football player just cared about how it might affect his fantasy team.
Hi @RebekahVardy can you let me know if this outing will effect Jamie’s head going into the next game week for fantasy football, i feel it might be best if I take him out …

And in a shocking final twist, the man who seemingly gave Coleen her idea back in January was brought to the world’s attention. His name is Dave.
