Rebekah Vardy is packing her bags to flee her vacation home after being caught amid the Portuguese bushfires.
The former I’m a Celeb star, 40, is reportedly shocked to see flames blazing from the balcony of her luxury villa, where she and her five children will be staying this summer.
The water supply has been cut and Vardy – whose footballer husband Jamie is back in the UK for pre-season training at Leicester City – is constantly monitoring the development of the bushfires, reports said.
A source close to the family told the Sun: ‘It’s been horrible. Their neighbors have all been evacuated and one by one residents are being told to leave their homes.

On July 13, a forest fire rages on Quinta do Lago in Portugal. Vardy is said to be in the six-bedroom villa in the south of the country – which features three swimming pools, a gym and a sauna – to escape her legal troubles following the highly publicized Wagatha Christie trial of Coleen Rooney earlier this year.

“Becky sees smoke everywhere and she’s terrified the kids will breathe it in. The water is also low, so she relies on bottled water, of which there is only a finite amount at home.
“Jamie and their friends and family back home were all very concerned. Things are evolving by the hour, but she’s praying that the fire brigades, who have been brilliant, can get things back under control.”
