Rebekah Vardy’s Instagram profits ‘set to soar’ after WAG leak row with Coleen Rooney
REBEKAH Vardy could cash in on her explosive Wag war with Coleen Rooney by plugging products on Instagram after gaining nearly 50,000 new followers.
Pregnant Rebekah has been embroiled in a public spat with Coleen after the 33-year-old accused her of leaking stories to the press.
But Rebekah, who denies the claims, could make the most of the row and rake in an extra £500 per post on Instagram.
The mum, 37, has gained 49,000 new followers since Coleen named and shamed her last week - meaning her profits could soar.
A social media expert told the : “Becky could command around £1,500 to £2,000 per post before this row. Now that figure will be £2,000 to £2,500 and looks likely to go higher the longer this row rumbles on.
"The more followers she attracts the more she could earn from promoting products on her account.’’
BITTER LEGAL ROW
It comes after The Sun revealed Rebekah's striker husband Jamie has deleted ex-England teammate Wayne Rooney from his Instagram as the Wag-ileaks row heats up.
Coleen is now said to poised for a bitter legal showdown with her fellow Wag, who has threatened to sue the mum-of-four if she doesn't believe her.
Defiant Coleen - wife of ex-England captain Wayne - has been snapped partying with her close friends in the wake of the scandal.
She had partied until 4am and knocked back champagne with fellow Wags at a 40th party in Manchester for ex-Old Trafford ace Wes Brown.
TEARS FOR BECKY
But Rebekah in contrast was pictured sobbing as she arrived back in the UK with her Leicester City striker husband Jamie.
The mum-to-be repeatedly wept as she flew from Dubai - as a pal said Coleen believes has leaked stories about her for four years, which Rebekah denies.
Super-sleuth Coleen was dubbed “Wagatha Christie” after she turned detective to claim Rebekah was selling stories about her.
But Rebekah - wife of Leicester City striker Jamie - has denied being behind the leaks and has drafted in a team of legal experts to try to prove her innocence.
EXPLOSIVE ROW
Rebekah has demanded that she hand over screenshots proving her Instagram profile was the only one used to view Coleen’s personal posts.
But friends of Coleen insisted that she would not be pressured into handing over evidence of the alleged leaks.
In a shock statement, she claimed to her 1.3million followers on Twitter that she had conducted a months-long probe to identify the source of the leak for three stories.
At the end of the lengthy statement, she wrote: “I have saved and screenshotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them.
“It’s……Rebekah Vardy’s account.”
How the row erupted
THE Wagileaks scandal erupted on Wednesday when Coleen claimed Becky’s Instagram account had been leaking stories to The Sun.
That day we reported how rain had supposedly flooded a basement at the Rooneys’.
It was the third story that Coleen said came from her Instagram page after barring all pals but Becky. After seeing which were published she said she knew the culprit.
Thursday’s Sun revealed Becky rang Coleen to deny it, saying others had access to her Instagram, and that she had had death threats.
Yesterday we told how Becky demanded proof her account was behind leaks.
Each of the stories provided to The Sun by different sources was put to Coleen’s representatives before publication, and on each occasion they declined to comment.
Rebekah has since blasted Coleen for publicly shaming her and told The Sun Coleen’s decision to publicly name her account was “disgusting”.
She raged: “We’ve always got on fine, and I would have no reason to do something like this to her.
“My only issue with her is the way she has gone about doing this to me in public, and causing all of this upset, without speaking to me first in private.

“Why didn’t she pick up the phone? I have been so upset by it — and I’m heavily pregnant too.
“Now I’m getting death threats saying I should die and my unborn child should die.
“That’s why I’m determined to get to the bottom of what has gone on and clear my name.”
