Rebekah Vardy goes shopping for last minute Christmas gifts and Jamie may be in luck

Jamie Vardy won't be with wife Rebekah and their family for most of Christmas so she wants to make things special - and that means a Christmas tree bursting with presents

Rebekah Vardy went on the hunt for some last-minute gifts as she prepares for a family Christmas which she will mainly spend without husband Jamie.

Her latest trip to the shops won't exactly lift the footballer, still licking his wounds after Wolves 3-0 home defeat to Wolves on Sunday. The WAG was seen browsing luxury skincare products, dressed in a sleek black fitted bomber jacket paired with stylish trainers.

Rebekah appeared deep in thought as she tested them out and chatted with staff for recommendations. Wearing a warm beanie hat as she went from shop-to-shop, she smiled as she was recognised despite sunglasses. Last week, she said Christmas is often a sad time of the year.

The 42-year-old shares Olivia, four, Finley, seven, and Sofia, ten, with her striker Jamie, and also has Taylor, 14, and Megan, 19, from a previous relationship. She detailed how she goes the extra mile to make the festive period special and them - even if her husband won't be around for most of it.

She told OK! Magazine: "I grew up as a Jehovah’s Witness, so we didn’t celebrate Christmas. Now, we make it extra special for the children. We go mad on decorations, but not on presents - that’s not what Christmas is about. It's having the kids off school, and making memories and creating traditions that the kids will take into their lives when they have families, too.

"It’s so hard when you're in football. Christmas revolves around football for us. Jamie’s pretty much away the whole of Christmas. It’s really hard - and really hard for the kids, but at the end of the day, that’s his job and we’re so proud of him. Control the controllables, I always think. You just have to make do.

"We’ll have him for a couple of hours on Christmas Day but he won’t make it for Christmas dinner. Then he’ll be training, then travelling up to Liverpool on Christmas Night - they have a game at 8pm on Boxing Day, so he won’t be back home until the early hours of 27th December."

It could be a very interesting New Year for the family. They are set to give fans an intimate peek into their lives through a new Netflix documentary with the series is expected to chart Jamie's meteoric rise from non-League Fleetwood Town to Premier League winning Leicester City star.

The news comes after it was reported that her WAG rival Coleen Rooney has signed a Disney+ deal following her successful stint in the I'm A Celebrity jungle. It's claimed the show will follow Coleen, Wayne and their four young sons: Kai 14, Klay 11, Kit eight, and Cass, six. It's thought Coleen bagged a cool £1.5million pay out for her appearance in the ITV show Down Under.

A source claimed that there had been a “huge bidding war” to get Coleen, with networks “desperate” to be the one to sign her. “ITV are the frontrunners to get her for Loose Women and she would love to do it, but Netflix are now coming in with some big-money offers – we’re talking offers of well over £1 million,” they told Closer.
