Grab the damn popcorn.

Coleen Rooney, wife of England and Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney, has accused Jamie Vardy’s wife Rebekah of selling fake stories about her to tabloid newspapers in the UK.

That’s right. You read that correctly.

In a scathing statement released on Twitter on Wednesday, Rooney says that she shared fake stories on her private Instagram account and then blocked everyone from seeing them except for one person: Rebekah Vardy.

The fake stories, which included Rooney’s basement being flooded and a return to TV for Coleen, subsequently popped up in the Sun newspaper a few days later.

Here is what Rooney said in a statement.

And here is what Rebekah Vardy had to say in response, as she seemed to blame other people who have access to her Instagram account.

It had previously been reported that Wayne Rooney had to sit Jamie Vardy down during EURO 2016, where they were teammates for England, to ask that Rebekah stopped lashing out at French police on social media about the way England’s fans were treated during the tournament.

This episode will certainly liven things up if Vardy and Rooney meet on the pitch for Leicester and Derby County respectively when Rooney returns to England in January following his time in Major League Soccer.

You just know Derby and Leicester are going to be drawn to play each other in the FA Cup third round in January. You just know it...

As we said previously, grab the damn popcorn.
