Rebekah Vardy and her footballer husband Jamie are said to be opening their doors to cameras for an upcoming ITV reality series.
The high-profile couple have reportedly agreed to a major deal with the broadcaster, which will follow their family as they settle into their new life in Italy.
Titled The Vardys, the series will chart 43-year-old Rebekah and her footballer husband Jamie, 38, as they adapt to his latest career move with US Cremonese, reports The Sun.
Since relocating abroad, the couple have found themselves back in the spotlight, often sharing glimpses of their new Italian adventure with fans online.
The pair have also been enjoying family life in Lombardy with their children – Megan, 20, Taylor, 15, Sofia, 14, Finley, eight, and Olivia, six.
An insider told the publication: ‘There is huge interest in Becky and her life as a Wag, a mother and a TV personality, not to mention the relationship between her and Jamie.

‘She’ll be seen opening up her home and heart as she provides unprecedented access at a crucial point in their history.
‘It’s a real coup for her to have this with a channel as huge as ITV.’
Daily Mail has contacted Rebekah’s representative and ITV for comment.
In 2019, fellow WAG Coleen Rooney shared a post to Instagram where she accused Rebekah of leaking stories about her to the press.
Mother-of-four Coleen, who is married to former England captain and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, had staged an elaborate sting operation to find out who was passing on stories about her private life to the press.
In retaliation, Rebekah sued Coleen for libel. However, in 2022, Justice Karen Steyn said in her ruling that Coleen had successfully proved her allegation was substantially true.
Coleen said in a statement after the ruling that she was ‘pleased’ the decision went in her favour but that she ‘never believed’ the case should have gone to court ‘at such expense in times of hardship for so many people when the money could have been far better spent helping others’.
Rebekah was also ordered to pay a significant portion of Coleen’s legal costs – a staggering £1.6million fine.

In April this year, the Daily Mail reported that a source said Rebekah needed husband Jamie to secure one final lucrative contract in football so she could continue her ‘ultimate WAG life’ and pay the legal bill owed to Coleen Rooney that is hanging over her.
The source added: ‘She will also want to hope he will go to Saudi or the US where she won’t have the cloud that hangs over her in the UK and can start to rebuild her life as a public figure and hopefully start to earn again.
‘Rebekah will be wanting to make sure his next move will be lucrative to allow her to live the life she’s accustomed to but also to help pay of her legal fees.
‘Now that she has limited earning potential apart from her property portfolio she will need to make sure he is earning enough to keep her and their five children living the ultimate WAG life.’
Now, the Vardys’ move to Italy means that Rebekah can have a fresh start, perhaps gaining a whole new squad of WAG friends.
The couple’s move abroad has the potential to prove a social boost to Rebekah, after she was embroiled in the infamous ‘Wagatha Christie’ scandal in the UK (pictured in 2022)
