Rebekah Vardy branded 'jealous' and 'desperate' by ex-husband in ...

Rebekah Vardy has come under fire, labelled "desperate" and "jealous" by one of her former husbands in a scathing verbal attack. The 42 year old, who previously appeared on Dancing On Ice, is currently married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, aged 37, making him her third spouse.

Rebekah's first marriage was to electrician Mark Godden in 2001, but the couple split in 2003. She then married Steve Clarke, a 59 year old timeshare company boss, after working as his secretary.

Their romance led to a wedding in 2005, but they divorced just a year later. Despite the divorce being nearly two decades ago, it appears that Steve harbours resentment towards Rebekah, criticising her in a recent interview.

He suggests that Rebekah is irked by the positive reception Coleen Rooney has been getting on ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, where Coleen has reached the final. Rebekah has been following the show closely, penning a column for The Sun about Coleen's experiences.

In a conversation with the Daily Mail, Steve lashed out at his ex-wife, stating: "She is just desperate to stay relevant and keep her name in the news." He went on to say: "It is quite pathetic what she is doing by commenting on I'm a Celebrity but it just shows she is so jealous of Coleen.

"I can guarantee you 100 million per cent she just wants to keep people seeing her picture and her name... When you watch Coleen, she is all smiles and happy. People like her, but when Rebekah was in the jungle people were talking about her resting b**** face. She just can't stand that people like Colleen and the public have no sympathy for her."

In an even more personal attack, Steve continued: "[Coleen] is her own person, while Rebekah is only relevant because she is married to a Premier League footballer. That is why she has trademarked the name Wagatha Christie because even though she lost she can make some money of it."
