A source said the new show will help with Rebekah and her legal costs following the high-profile Wagatha Christie libel trialCredit: Disney+But I can reveal a large part of it will also feature Rebekah as well as their luxurious homelife.
And if it sparks an interest among viewers it may lead to a spin-off At Home With…series.
The move comes after it emerged that her arch rival, Coleen Rooney was set to sign a similar deal for her show with Disney+.
It has been known for months that Netflix had a new documentary about Jamie’s incredible journey from non-league footballer to Premier League champion in the works.
But it was thought to be almost entirely football-focused, and barely feature Rebekah or any kind of domestic insights.
A TV insider said: “Netflix have taken such an interest in the Vardys because of their natural love of all things controversial.
“Plus, they saw how the David Beckham documentary was such a hit, not just because it touched on football but because of the scenes of domestic life that came with it.
“Though this will be on a different level to the Beckham documentary, they want to tap into some of that with the Vardy show, and it’s undoubtedly a real coup for her.
“Getting so much ‘airtime’ on Netflix gives her a real platform – and scope to branch out.”
The documentary, set to air later this year, would go some way to helping Rebekah with her legal costs following the high-profile Wagatha Christie libel trial against Coleen in 2022.
But it’s unlikely to diminish the rivalry between them…
Netflix were approached but said: “No comment.”

Coleen said: “I didn’t think I snored, but Wayne says I snore.

“I do think people will get a better idea of what kind of person I am.”
