Jamie Vardy lands huge documentary deal after Leicester City success… with wife Becky in leading role


HE is held up like royalty  in my neck of the woods after becoming the hero of Leicester City FC when they won the  Premier League in 2016.

And now Jamie Vardy is going to be propelled back into the spotlight — as he is working on a film based on his extraordinary life story and his rise to the top of English football.

Pals tell me the Foxes’ fast-footed forward wanted to get Leicester ­promoted again before his career ends — and after his wish came true in May, I’m told cameras will ­follow him for the final year of his contract with the club.

Ex-England ace Jamie’s wife Becky, famed for the circus surrounding the Wagatha Christie libel trial with Coleen Rooney in 2022, is also expected to take a starring role.

My insider said: “Jamie is working on a film about his life and it will centre on his final season at the King Power stadium.

“He is like a god to fans, and the film will be a celebration of all his incredible achievements.

“When Jamie signed from non-league Fleetwood Town in 2012, no one could have predicted the path his career would take. He won the league with Leicester almost a decade ago, and after vowing to stick with them until they were promoted again, Jamie has really come good on his promises.

“As well as taking in his achievements at the club, the film will show a side to Jamie that only his friends and family usually see.

“He used to drink a lot when he played in the lower leagues but he curbed that when he came to  City after a talking-to from the boss  — and became one of the club’s ­greatest players.

“He is a low-key guy who lives a pretty quiet life and fans will be able to see what makes him tick.

“Becky is involved too but the spotlight is very much going to be on Jamie. No one wants to turn this into a circus.”

My source says production has already started on the film, which is likely to end up on Netflix or Prime Video next year after Jamie  hangs his boots  up at the club.

Over his career with Leicester, the goal ace  scored 190 times and won the FA Cup as well as the Premier League.

By the time this film hits screens, I’ve no doubt Jamie will be ready to have a party all over again.

And naturally his fans will be there with the vodka.
