The home of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy and his wife Rebekah has been severely damaged following a fire.
Firefighters were called to the couple’s home near Grantham at 3:20pm on Thursday, January 19th. According to a spokesperson for Lincolnshire Fire Service, the blaze caused severe damage to a wooden outbuilding which was being used as a gym.
They also confirmed that the fire was caused by an electrical fault in the gym. Rebekah Vardy posted a picture of two of her children inside a fire engine on Instagram with the caption: “Every cloud and all that. Thankfully no one was hurt…. Buildings and contents are replaceable and the kiddies enjoyed the fire engines. Thank you for being so brilliant.”
One resident who lived nearby said: “There was a fire yesterday, I saw two fire engines, one on the drive and one outside. We were just popping out and we saw flashing lights.”
