Scoring on the rebound: Becky with fiance Vardy
|
Can it be possible for one man to have two fairytale
endings?
For three weeks after Jamie Vardy led his Leicester City
team to the most unlikely triumph in Premier League history, football's newest
hero will be married today.
The setting for Vardy's second fairytale ending couldn't be
more storybook: Peckforton Castle, a pink stone, Grade I listed, gothic castle
in rural Cheshire, will be the backdrop for the happy occasion, lit by hundreds
of candles.
As if this wasn't magical enough, Vardy, who only four years
ago was playing non-league football for Fleetwood, will arrive at the ceremony
having come straight from training for England's preparations for Euro 2016.
As is perhaps customary when a high-profile footballer makes
it official with a WAG, Hello! magazine will be in attendance, with its
sizeable chequebook and security retinue.
However, when it comes to the somewhat colourful persona of
the bride, the fairytale falls apart.
For Vardy's mother Lisa and stepfather Phil — who has raised
him since he was a baby — will not be there because they do not approve of
their son's choice of wife, a glossy, risque brunette named Becky Nicholson.
Indeed, as Vardy's parents recently confirmed, they have not
spoken to Jamie in over a year.
Stepfather Phil said the row has been going on ever since Miss
Nicholson, a former nightclub promotions worker, 'came on the scene'.
'I don't have anything directly to do with my son any more.
It's a shame and very sad,' he said.
'I have given him 22 years of life to get him to the
pinnacle of his career, and I can't enjoy it. I don't have anything to do with
him any more and it really upsets me.'
Vardy's mother Lisa said: 'I'll never say anything about my
son, good or bad. I'm not bothered. I get up, go to work and look after my
family. I'll not go to the fancy wedding.'
Grandparents Gerald and Mavis Clewes will not attend either.
Gerald, 74, has said previously that it was 'that woman' who had come between
the footballer and his mother.

Becky Nicholson walked out on first husband Mark Godden
(pictured on their wedding day) after six months
|
'As far as the football goes, we are very proud of Jamie.
But it's a bit awkward as we never see him any more. It's a real shame,' he
says.
It is thought that none of them have even met Vardy's
daughter, Sofia, by Becky, who was born in December 2014.
Vardy's other daughter, by ex-girlfriend Emma Daggett, has
reportedly been banned from attending the ceremony by her mother.
The couple are understood to have asked five-year-old Ella
to be part of the wedding party, but her mother will not let her go.
A source told the Sun: 'She wouldn't even allow Ella to
attend dress fittings with the other young bridesmaids and most recently has
put a total ban on her attending the wedding at all.'
Vardy's natural father, labourer Richard Gil, who split up
with his mother when she was pregnant, is also unlikely to attend — he had no
idea until a newspaper traced him in December that he was even related to the
footballer.
So, what's the problem? Well, perhaps it has something to do
with the fact that Becky, who will be gliding down the aisle in a £5,000 traditional
white dress, is anything but a blushing bride.
For she has not only been married once before as a teenager,
but has also gone on to have two children by two other men.

'wedding lingerie' for a newspaper photo shoot

Her first husband, Mark Godden, 37, told the Mail: 'I just
hope she doesn't take Jamie Vardy for the mug she took me for. I was in a state
when she left. Becky's good-looking and always spent time and money on her appearance.
I can only wish her all the best and hope that she's happy.'
Perhaps it is easy to see why Mr Godden feels this way — she
walked out on him only six months after their romantic wedding, pictured here
publicly for the first time, telling him she didn't love him.
Electrical engineer Mr Godden, who lives in Witney, Oxon,
can perhaps be forgiven some bitterness. For barely four months after they
exchanged vows, his wife had a fling with pop star turned reality TV perennial
Peter Andre.
She dallied with Andre after they met in a restaurant — he
made eyes at her and she gave him her phone number.
Becky later justified her behaviour in a toe-curling
interview in which she said: 'I knew my marriage was coming to an end.'
She recalled that she told Godden she was going to London to
work. Instead she went to Windsor station, where Andre picked her up and took
her to the Burnham Beeches Hotel, a few miles away.
'He was really sweet and led me upstairs. When we were in
the room, he stripped me and took his top off. He had great muscles,' she said.
'I thought he was going to be a fantastic lover. Then he
took his trousers off! He was the worst lover I've ever had. It wasn't even
worth the train fare. Peter was tiny. The smallest trouser equipment I've ever
seen. It was like a miniature chipolata.'
To be fair to Becky, who is much noted for her big hair,
manicured nails and love of designer handbags, perhaps her inelegant turn of
phrase is just an indication of a wild youth. She left home when she was 17 and
was married — and unfaithful — when she was only 19. Then came a romance with
the boss of a timeshare firm. Her oldest child Megan was born in 2006.
The following year she met Luke Foster, who was playing for
Oxford United. They had a son Taylor, who is now five.
It is said their six-year relationship ended because she
didn't like languishing as a lower-league WAG.
Foster, 30, told a friend of their break-up: 'When she left
me she walked out and told me she was with Vardy.
'I couldn't believe it. She told me she was upgrading. She
left me with our child, moved in with Vardy and was pregnant within weeks.'
She met Vardy, who is 29 to her 34, when she was hired to
plan his birthday party at the Viper Rooms nightclub in Sheffield, where she
was working as a party organiser.
Vardy, a former factory worker who had to wear an electronic
tag after a conviction for assault, was bowled over by her on first sight. Not
that the feeling was mutual.

Persistent: Becky turned Jamie down several times before she
agreed to go on a date with the footballer

Becky told the Sunday Mirror: 'It took a lot of persuasion
on Jamie's part to get me remotely interested. I must have said 'No thanks, I'm
not interested' for the best part of two months. He was very persistent,
though, asking me to go for a drink.' She now lives with him in a luxury
new-build house in Melton Mowbray and is styling herself as a home-maker.
One old landlord, however, was not a fan. Godson Allert, who
rented Becky a house in Wombwell near Barnsley, from 2013 to 2014, told the
Mail lawyers were involved at the end of the let.
'She had a mouth like a toilet — she's a really vulgar
woman,' he said. 'She would give me all sorts of abuse and Vardy would just
stand there not saying anything.'
Today, Becky has given up her old job and works full-time
supporting Jamie and is a director of his V9 Academy, which helps amateur footballers.
She had their daughter, Sofia, in December 2014.
Since Jamie's rise to fame she has kept her colourful mouth
shut, except when there is a cheque in it for her.
Hence her appearance four days ago wearing 'wedding
lingerie' in a downmarket newspaper. In the accompanying interview, she did not
mention the family feud, but did allow a grateful nation to learn about her
preferences for wedding flowers — not too many, she'd rather spend the money on
food and booze. The wedding has been brought forward to avoid a clash with this
summer's European Championships and has, in fact, changed date three times
because Vardy has wanted to be free for England selection.
He will miss the friendly against Australia on Friday, but
will report to Roy Hodgson for training on Saturday. Vardy said: 'It will be a
very quiet night on Wednesday. Obviously, I hope all the guests have a good
time, but I will have a quiet one.'
He seems to be happily home-focused. The names of Becky's
two other children — and that of their daughter Sofia — are sewn into his
football boots, as is the name of Ella, five — his daughter by former
girlfriend Emma Daggett. Meanwhile, Becky, like so many brides, has been
dreaming of her future. Her Facebook page is already under the name Becky Vardy
and she has ambitions to launch herself and Jamie as the 'new Posh and Becks'.
'Obviously we're not David and Victoria. We're still just
Becky and Jamie, but they're great role models,' she said. 'I admire Victoria
as a businesswoman. She has become successful in her own right and is someone I
have total respect for.
'As a footballer's partner, it's not about being arm candy.
But I'm sure Victoria would say it hasn't happened without putting in the hours
behind the scenes.
'That's what I'm doing. We're a team. I try my best to take
all the stress away from Jamie's life so he can just focus on football, because
if he doesn't focus on football, he isn't doing his job properly.
'But neither of us are silly enough to think football lasts
for ever. We're trying to prepare for that because you can never take things
for granted.
'I'm always thinking about what happens when it ends.'
As the many spurned men in Becky's life would no doubt
agree.
