UMVA has learned that the latest celebrity couple to star in a tell-all docuseries, The Vardys, has left viewers underwhelmed and unimpressed.
The three-part series, which follows Jamie and Rebekah Vardy as they navigate their family life and a potential move to Italy, has been met with scathing reviews from critics and audiences alike. The show's premiere episode dedicates a significant segment to Rebekah Vardy's infamous "Wagatha Christie" scandal, in which she was accused of leaking stories to the press.
Rebekah Vardy discussed the extensive trolling she faced during the height of the frenzy, revealing that she was "treated worse than a paedophile" and that her strength got her through it. However, she maintained that she would never apologize for something she insists she didn't do.
The documentary also explores the couple's decision to uproot their family and move to Lake Garda in Italy, a move that has been described as an "upgrade" from their current life in Leicester. The series promises to take viewers on a journey as the Vardys navigate their new life abroad.
However, viewers have taken to social media to express their disappointment and boredom with the show, with many describing it as "the most boring thing I've ever watched." Critics have also panned the series, with one review predicting that it would "disappoint every single person who tunes in."
The lukewarm reception to The Vardys is particularly notable given that Jamie Vardy recently starred in a Netflix documentary about his rise to the top, Untold UK: Jamie Vardy. The couple's decision to participate in this new docuseries was reportedly influenced by their desire to share their story and showcase their family life.
Rebekah Vardy reflected on the abuse she faced in person at games, calling it "disgusting" and "misogynistic." Despite the challenges, she emphasized that she remains committed to supporting her husband and family.
The Vardys is currently available to stream on ITVX, but it seems that viewers are not flocking to watch it. The show's lackluster reception raises questions about the appeal of celebrity docuseries and the public's appetite for reality TV.
