Jamie and Rebekah Vardy ‘eye up US move as WAG is in talks to appear on top Netflix show’

Jamie and Rebekah Vardy ‘eye up US move as WAG is in talks to appear on top Netflix show’

Jamie and Rebekah Vardy are reportedly eyeing up a move to the US – and are already in talks with TV bosses in LA.

Rebekah, 43, is said to have been in talks with the producers of Selling Sunset about potentially appearing as a buyer on the Netflix show. 

Jamie, 38, who recently announced he is leaving Leicester City, has reportedly had interest from teams including San Diego FC and Wayne Rooney’s former club D.C. United. 

A move across the pond could see the couple become famous on both sides of the Atlantic like Posh and Becks.

A source told The Sun: ‘The US is the most likely next move for the Vardys and is partly because Becky has had interest in TV work there.

‘She was in talks with the makers of Selling Sunset earlier this year. They wanted her to appear as the potential buyer of a luxury home there.

‘That stalled because of the California wildfires in January but could still happen. If it does, the show is a great ‘shop window’ for stars in the US to go on to other things.’

The insider added that other TV networks in the US are aware of Rebekah because of the Wagatha Christie trial and her appearance on I’m A Celebrity. 

The move could also represent a fresh start for the couple following the intense scrutiny that came with Rebekah’s trial against Coleen Rooney. 

However, the source added that any future move will ultimately depend on what sort of offers Jamie gets from American teams – with both Wrexham and Birmingham still possibilities at home. 

MailOnline has contacted representatives of Jamie and Rebekah Vardy for comment.    

Earlier this month the Daily Mail’s Katie Hind revealed the little-known network U&W has been in negotiations with Rebekah for several months over a fly-on-the-wall documentary that she is, for good reason, very keen for them to screen.

Not the least of those reasons is the fact that she now faces a £1.6million legal bill after a week earlier calling full-time on her high-profile court battle with fellow WAG, and former friend, Coleen.

Bosses at the broadcaster have commissioned a pilot, but have remained undecided over whether they will agree to a full series and a bundle of cash.

 The prospect is clearly appealing to Rebekah and would likely help to resurrect both her finances and her reputation in the wake of the trial.

The proposed show would give unrivalled access to her life, allowing cameras into her £3million luxury Lincolnshire home and promising to share an insight into her life as a glamorous mother of five children.

Rebekah has decided to be magnanimous in High Court defeat to Coleen – an astonishing about-turn after a six-year legal battle which has cost millions and led to considerable public mudslinging and recrimination.

Her statement, issued through her new agent, simply said that she was ‘respectfully disappointed’ that the appeal was not successful.

‘Now we just wish to move on and look to the future,’ it added.

One source who knows Rebekah well said: ‘U&W have been unsure about commissioning a programme because Rebekah has been so, so mean in the past.

‘Do they want to make a programme with her? They have been wondering. They tried a pilot to see what she was like and whether it would work.

‘The problem some of the execs have is whether the public like her enough to tune in. She has been so horrible in the past so you can’t help thinking that this new, grown-up approach is an attempt to reinvent herself as a nicer human being and change her ways.

‘There is no getting away from the fact that Rebekah would be hugely entertaining, but U&W is aimed at women and Rebekah has been pretty foul over the years. They are not sure women like her – they prefer Coleen.’
