Jamie Vardy’s wife confirmed her participation on ITV breakfast show Good Morning Britain on Tuesday while on the school run.

Her experience on the ice is limited with Christmas visits to the rink and some childhood sessions all she has to draw upon.
She said: “My dad taught me how to stand up in a pair of skates when I was about seven years old.
“I’m really excited actually. The only time I’ve been ice skating since is when I take the kids to the ice rink at Christmas.”
Piers, 55, couldn’t resist a bit of cheeky banter, asking: “You are good at skating on thin ice, aren’t you?”
Becky, 38, replied: “That’s rich coming from you.”

She then told how her children saw a video of the infamous headbanger move and were terrified their mum would get hurt.
However, the TV star reassured them she’ll be fine.
Outspoken Piers couldn’t help but bring up her infamous feud with Wayne Rooney’s wife Coleen.
Rebekah responded: “You are so predictable. I knew you was going to bring it up.
“I want to clear my name and I will do whatever it takes. I hope it will be resolved soon.”
