Appearing as a panellist on today's Loose Women, the I'm a Celebrity star admitted she has recruited extra muscle to watch over her family during their 12-day trip.

She confessed: "We've had to get extra security. I'm taking the children with me so I don't want to take any risks."

The 36-year-old star also admitted she will be taking the kids out of school for the Russia trip - but assured viewers she has received their school's blessing.

She said: "We're taking the kids out of school, which I've been given the school's blessing for.

"I don't have to go, but I couldn't not go. I want to be there to support my husband."

But viewers quickly hit out at the school's double standards and slammed the decision to give Becky preferential treatment.

One watcher raged: "The school gave their blessing for Becky Vardy to take her kids out of school. They usualy try to fine any other poor sod that tries that during term time! #Loosewomen."

"Oh so some parents are taken go court over taking their kids out of school, but it's ok for M***y Vardy 🙄 #LooseWomen," another seethed.

The interview also saw the TV personality reveal that husband Jamie will be staying separately from the family, though England manager Gareth Southgate will allow players to visit their families after games.

While she admitted she's grown used to spending time apart from Jamie, she admitted that their daughter Sofia, three, finds his absence particularly upsetting.

As well as Sofia, the couple also share son Finley, one, while Becky also has children Megan, 11, and Taylor, six, from a previous relationship.

Jamie is also father to daughter Ella, six, with ex Emma Dagger.
