Jamie Vardy's wife stripped off to pose for revealing pictures showing her post-baby body
REBEKAH Vardy feels "overwhelmed" by the support she received from fans after she debuted her "mum tum" in an intimate photoshoot.
Jamie Vardy's wife stripped off to unveil her post-baby body in candid pictures, and she hoped the snaps would help other mums feels less "self-conscious" about their figures.
The stunning mum-of-four was mocked by cruel trolls on Twitter on the day she left hospital after welcoming new son Finley in January — and the insults have continued ever since.
But she defied the abuse by stripping to her Calvin Klein underwear and proudly holding her three-month-old son.
She has now revealed she has been flooded with positive messages since posing for the revealing pictures.

Rebekah told OK! magazine: "There have been so many lovely comments online about my ‘mum tum’ photo shoot.
"It was something I wanted to do for new mums who might be feeling self-conscious about their bodies.
"We’re so used to seeing celebrities’ bodies bounce back after giving birth but that isn’t realistic for most people.
"After I gave birth to Finley I had some nasty comments from people saying my thighs were fat, but I wanted to do the shoot to show that I’m not ashamed of my body."
After posing for the shoot, Rebekah, the wife of Leicester City and England footballer Jamie, hit back defiantly, saying: “I think I look pretty good for a woman who gave birth in January — and Jamie thinks so too.
“I am proud of what my body has achieved. I carried all of my children for nine months and my body changed constantly to provide for them.”
The 34-year-old, who battled post-natal depression after having her second child, is also mum to Sofia, two, Taylor, six, and Megan, 11.
