Rebekah Vardy insists she and husband Jamie are “just a normal family” in their brand new ITV reality series The Vardys.
However, viewers watching the opening episode may have raised an eyebrow or two at some of the comments that followed.
The new show follows the famous couple as they prepare to leave Lincolnshire behind and start a new life in Italy with their five children.
It comes after footballer Jamie’s move to from Leicester FC to Italian side Cremonese.

As Jamie focuses on football, Rebekah takes charge of finding a new home and schools for the children in the Lombardy region.
But despite her claims of being a “normal mum”, a few moments in episode one left fans with a glimpse into a rather different lifestyle…
1. Rebekah Vardy: AKA Gym Bunny
Many people struggle to fit a workout into a busy week.
Not Rebekah.
The reality star revealed she spends plenty of time in the family’s private gym, which is packed with equipment and sits just steps from their home.
She explained: “I am literally in the gym five or six times a week. I love to keep fit but it’s also good for releasing endorphins and a mental break from everything that’s going on.”
While many parents squeeze exercise around work and family commitments, Rebekah clearly has a different set up.
2. Not the stables?!
Moving house can be a daunting prospect for any child.
For the Vardy children, though, one concern stood out above the rest.
Discussing the move, Rebekah recalled: “Then the questions arise like, ‘Where are we going? Are we going to have to leave our schools? Are we going to have to leave our house?’
“Olivia’s first thing was, ‘Are we going to have to leave the stables?’ And then it was, ‘Are we going to have to leave the bar?’ And I’m like, why’s a five year old saying, ‘Are we going to have to leave the bar’?!”
