PREGNANT Rebekah Vardy has been targeted by vile trolls hoping her baby dies after her row with fellow WAG Coleen Rooney.

Coleen, 33, accused her former friend of leaking stories that only Rebekah could have known about.

Her explosive revelation sparked an extraordinary spat on Twitter yesterday with Coleen explaining how she spent months trying to find the culprit behind a number of leaks.

She named Rebekah's Instagram account as being the only one which was able to view a number of fictitious tales which ended up in the papers.

However, her bombshell Twitter post has resulted in a number of twisted trolls targeting Rebekah who is returning from a family holiday to Dubai.

Vardy, 37, posted one horrific message which read: "F**k you sly c**t I hope that baby dies you b***h."

Rebekah now plans to enlist the help of a forensic IT expert to clear her name.

The feud has taken social media by storm, sparking a debate over whether Coleen should have called her pal before accusing her online.

And today, Good Morning Britain waded in on the row as they questioned Coleen's motives for allowing it to spill out on Instagram, as presenter Susanna Reid told viewers "I would have called".

Coleen, who has been dubbed "Wagatha Christie", hatched an elaborate plan to catch whoever was leaking her stories to The Sun.

Coleen went about her investigation in forensic detail, and followed it through for over a month.

She blocked all of her followers and allowed just one account - Rebekah Vardy's - to see her posts as she finally came to the conclusion that her pal had leaked gossip about her.

She then triumphantly unveiled her sting yesterday with a dramatic message that concluded "It's...... Rebekah Vardy".

Susanna, 47, mused over the news and told Ben Shephard: "There is also, would you do that? If I found out you were selling stories on me, from my personal Instagram stories account, I do think it's a bit weird.

"I think I would probably ring you and say 'Oi Ben'."

And Kate Garraway added: "What would she have to gain by selling stories?"

Meanwhile, The Sun revealed that Becky Vardy wept down the phone to Coleen after being accused of leaking stories about her.

She begged Wayne’s wife to believe she was not to blame, but a source said: “She pleaded but was rebuffed.”

However, Coleen told yesterday morning how she had finally “got to the bottom” of a problem troubling her for “a few years now”.

Her statement went on: “Someone who I trusted to follow me on my personal Instagram account has been consistently informing The Sun newspaper of my private posts and stories.”

She said she became suspicious of one person — so allowed only them to view her account before posting a “series of false stories”.

Coleen claimed she knew which “account/individual” was to blame when they appeared in the paper.

As social media users flooded Coleen’s account with comments and memes, shocked Becky immediately rang her pal to assure her she was not behind the stories.

Checked and printed

COLEEN planted three stories to expose her leak.

Each time The Sun tried to verify the details — but she gave no comment.

Coleen's response: no comment

Wednesday, October 9: said to be distraught at flood damage to home

Coleen's response: no comment

Friday, August 16: linked to clinic in Mexico to choose gender of 5th child

But minutes after putting down the phone, heavily pregnant Becky blasted Coleen on social media - and said her decision to publicly shame her was “disgusting”.

Each of the stories provided to The Sun was put to Coleen’s representatives before publication, and on each occasion they declined to comment.

A Sun Spokesperson said: "Like all reputable media organisations, we don't comment on sources."
