Rebekah Vardy and husband Jamie Vardy's scathing texts about the press, Wayne Rooney and the FA have been laid bare in official court documents.
Mum-of-five Rebekah, 40, is currently suing Coleen Rooney, 36, for libel in what has been dubbed the 'Wagatha Christie' trial.
Rebekah, Coleen and Wayne have all taken to the stand to give evidence in the seven-day trial, and files submitted to the court include the Vardys' private WhatsApp messages to each other. A verdict is due in the coming weeks.
In one exchange, Rebekah sent her husband – saved in her phone as 'Hubby' – a link to an article claiming Wayne had "held talks" with Jamie to try and get his wife to "behave better" during the 2016 Euros tournament.
"Seriously????" she wrote, before Jamie replied: "No not at all babes x."
Rebekah then said: "T***s trying to make me into a scapegoat. X".
Jamie replied: "F*****g a**eholes x".
Rebekah then sent another screengrab, this time of an article with the headline 'Wayne Rooney asks Jamie Vardy to make sure his wife lowers her social media profile during Euros'.
Rebekah texted her husband: "Jesus… This must have come from somewhere! Bet it's his Mrs manager x."
"Haha no1 said a word, probably the bloody FA," Jamie, 35, replied.
"Joke makes my blood boil X," Rebekah then said.
When Jamir said the papers had "nothing better to do" Rebekah agreed: "Exactly not fair to pick on me though w*****s".
Jamie then claimed the press: "Build us up to smash us back down x."
Rebekah continued: "Yeah exactly t***s x."
Jamie: "F**k them they ain't bringing us down x."
Rebekah finished the exchange by claiming she wasn't "ar**d babe x," as Jamie declared: "Me neither babes x."
The documents' release comes after the topic of whether Wayne and Jamie spoke about Rebekah's presence at the 2016 Euros back when they were on the England team together.
Wayne told the court that it was "100 per cent true" he was asked to speak to Jamie – but his ex-team mate then made an explosive statement outside the court claiming the ex-captain "must be confused" as it didn't happen.

Wayne had claimed in the High Court on May 17 that ex-England gaffer Roy Hodgson and assistant manager Gary Nevill had been the ones to ask him to speak to Jamie.
He explained at the time it was as a result of apparent "negative media coverage" surrounding Rebekah, along with other "issues" that were said to be "causing problems and distractions for the England team".
In response, Jamie gave a statement completely denying he had ever spoken to Wayne about his wife's "media work".
"He must be confused because he never spoke to me about issues concerning Becky's media work at Euro 2016," the sportsman said.
