Rebekah Vardy plays doting mum to baby Finlay

She spent the past few weeks in the jungle, tackling gruesome trials and languishing in the jungle during this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here. 

But Rebekah Vardy returned to normality on Saturday as she took her 11-month-old son Finlay, for a stroll in the Australian sunshine.

The 35-year-old wife of football ace Jamie looked every inch the doting mum as she bonded with her son on the family outing after pals slammed ITV bosses for listing her occupation as WAG rather than ‘full time mum’.

Rebekah flaunted her toned pins in a pair of tight denim shorts as she ambled along the Gold Coast. Pairing the hot-pants with a navy vest and light brown sandals, Rebekah showed off her sun-kissed tan in the casual ensemble.

She styled her hair in a half-up half-down do and shielded her eyes from the glaring sun in a pair of pale blue rimmed sunglasses. 

Rebekah seemed in her element as she tended to Finlay, who looked adorable in salmon pink shorts and a black t-shirt.

Her outing comes after friends and family hit out at ITV bosses, claiming her occupation as a ‘Footballer’s Wife’ as ‘ridiculous’.

In a promotional image released ahead of the series, Rebekah’s name, age, occupation and phobias were listed.

Her loved ones took issue with the snap, penning a caption alongside the image: ‘Becky’s ‘Occupation’ is a Full time Mum A woman isn’t defined by her husband’s job #eyeroll’.

Hitting back, Rebekah's friends doctored the shot to place a bold red cross over the writing listing her occupation and writing over the top: 'Occupation: Mum'

A representative for the star told the MailOnline at the time: ‘She isn’t hitting out at Becky being branded Jamie’s Wife. She is hitting out at Becky’s ‘Occupation’ being listed as ‘Footballer’s Wife’ which clearly isn’t an occupation.

‘Everyone’s well aware that Becky is best known for being married to Jamie, something that Becky is proud of but to call it her ‘Occupation’ is just ridiculous.’

Rebekah met Jamie when she was hired to plan his 2014 birthday party and after two years as a couple, during which they welcomed daughter Sofia, two, they tied the knot at Cheshire’s Peckforton Castle in May last year.

She is also mother to Megan, 11, and Taylor, six, from previous relationships.

Fans of the star soon swarmed the comment section, writing: ‘And yet they forget to mention that you’re a mother to 4 children, the most rewarding job!… Occupation should say- taking on trolls on a daily basis as well as full time mum and charity ambassador x’.

Fellow footballer’s wife Nicola McLean, who is married to former Cyprus player Tom Williams, threw her support behind Rebekah writing: ‘And charity worker?? This is shocking’, which was met with the response: ‘Thanks…’

Rebekah has been a long-time campaigner against trolls to stop the term WAG as she made clear in a hard-hitting interview last December, in which she lashed out at Piers Morgan for using what she described as something of a slur.

She said: ‘It’s a bit derogatory. I’m not just a wife and girlfriend I’m a mum. 

‘Oh come on Piers that term is so dated. You can think of something better than that surely?’
