What did Dancing On Ice Star Rebekah Vardy say?

With coronavirus cases soaring within the Premier League, players have come under the spotlight after it was revealed that some of them have been breaking lockdown rules.

With 36 cases in the last week, some games have had to be postponed.

Speaking to The Sun, Becky said: “I think it’s a privilege to be in the position that they find themselves in.

“Yes they work hard, but at the same time they need to set an example.

“It’s not going to go down well with Joe Bloggs if a footballer is having a lockdown party and off seeing his mates while he can’t see his family.”

What has Jamie been doing during lockdown?

Becky was also keen not to tar all footie players with the same brush.

It’s not going to go down well with Joe Bloggs if a footballer is having a lockdown party and off seeing his mates while he can’t see his family.

She revealed that her husband Jamie has been homeschooling their four children during lockdown.

She said that just “because there’s a couple of Covidiots” it doesn’t mean all players are disobeying rules.
