Jamie Vardy’s new wife accuses his lookalike of ‘stalking’ the England star
THE new wife of England footie star Jamie Vardy has accused his lookalike of becoming a "stalker".
The damning accusation comes just a day after Rebekah Vardy and her hubby blocked the fan on their social media accounts.
Rebekah, who married the Leicester City striker last week, made the comment in a post on Twitter earlier today about Vardy's doppelganger Lee Chapman.
The tweet read: "And??? Being a season ticket holder doesn't give you the green light to become a stalker!"
The post was in response to calls from other users calling on the star's wife to give Chapman a break.
Trying to justify the decision to block the super fan, the footballer's wife also posted: "I personally wished him all the best but also asked him to STOP tagging himself into every picture I put up...
"Of my family which usually had my children in. Also tagging his agency & promoting their business..."
Another tweet read: "I don't block people for no reason!"
Postman Lee, who was invited on to the team bus after Vardy’s Leicester won the Premier League, has taken a six-month career break from Royal Mail to work as the star’s double.

The young dad has even considered giving up his job as the Vardy doppelganger after the spat.
Yesterday The Sun revealed Vardy's agent John Morris had also sent a text warning Lee, 29, of legal action if he damages Vardy’s image or lucrative endorsement deals.
The text said: “If you do anything that affects Jamie’s image directly and his endorsement deals we will take legal action . . . You can understand that I’m sure.”
Just last month Vardy, who earns £45,000 a week, posed happily for photos with the £16,000-a-year postie who looks like the player’s identical twin.
But now Vardy, who got married last week, and his new bride have both blocked the lookalike from going on their Twitter and Instagram accounts.
Die-hard Foxes fan Lee has been in demand for appearances on TV and at events since the Leicester won the league on May 2.
Tonight Lee’s agent James Austin said: "Lee is genuinely very upset about all this and is devastated.
"He had been doing a kid's birthday party at a soccer school when he found out what had been said and it put a sour note on the day."
Lee, who is dad to three-year-old James, added: "I can't understand why I am supposed to be a stalker. I've only met her once and I don't tag her in any of my Twitter posts.
"I have no idea, I don't get it. I can't help the way I look and I'm not costing them anything."
The postman says he's now worried about whether the allegation will affect his membership at the club.
He added: "This could affect my relationship with the club. I have been a Leicester fan since I was a kid.
"I'm very disappointed."
Last night Vardy’s agent, John Morris of Key Sports Management, said: “I wish Lee all the best. I’ve met him and he comes across as a really nice guy.
“If anything happens to anybody whether you are a sports person or a movie star you have to be protected.
“I don’t know anything about Lee being blocked on Twitter.”
His agent did not wish to comment on the stalking comment.
Lee claims he has received no official notice of any complaint being made about his behaviour towards the couple.
