The mum of four went on to say that through a process of elimination, she blocked all her Instagram contacts from seeing her stories, adding that her friends and family must have wondered why she’d gone quiet.

And this is where it gets really juicy.

“Over the past five months, I have posted a series of false stories to see if they made their way into the Sun newspaper,” she continued.

“And you know what, they did! The story about gender selection, the story about returning to TV and then the latest story about the basement flooding my house.”

Coleen concluded her statement: “It’s……. Rebekah Vardy’s account.”

Well, well, well.

I’m disgusted that I’m even having to deny this.”
