Coleen Rooney ‘SET UP Rebekah Vardy’, claims Peter Shilton’s wife Stephanie in bizarre new theory

Coleen Rooney attempted to knock Rebekah Vardy off the top spot ahead of her return to the UK, claims Peter Shilton’s wife Stephanie.

Stephanie has waded in on their ongoing row to claim that the entire feud was masterminded by the Rooney PR team during a bizarre Facebook post.

The wife of the former England footballer has suggested that it was all a ploy for Coleen, 34, to regain popularity in the country and keep her ‘WAG crown’.

Coleen previously accused Rebekah, 38, of selling stories from her private Instagram account to British tabloids last year and announced it on social media.

Stephanie, who referred to herself as ‘granny WAG’ in the impassioned post, shared her theory on the feud in a now-deleted Facebook post.    

She said: ‘I truly suspect that the Rooney’s and their PR team had a plan prior to Wayne’s return to the U.K. as his reputation was in tatters.

‘I believe top of the list was to mastermind a charity England football match to knock Peter Shilton off being number one cap record holder, enabling Wayne Rooney to be number one cap holder after a 30 year record was held by my Husband!

‘Knock the Vardy’s off the number one spotlight in particular Rebecca, I suspect the poor pregnant woman was a sitting target.

‘They are both hugely popular in the industry and Rebecca was probably the most well-known modern WAG.’ 

Stephanie married Peter in November 2016 after he split from his first wife Sue in 2011 after 40 years together.

In October last year Coleen launched an incredible social media attack on fellow footballer’s wife Rebekah, revealing how she set up an elaborate sting on Instagram to ‘catch’ her leaking fake stories.

Her dramatic revelation enthralled Britain and sparked an angry denial from Rebekah who said ‘I don’t need the money’ and pointed out other people have had access to her Instagram account.
