Leicester City's Jamie Vardy targeted by vile Twitter trolls making sex threats to his young daughter
Jamie Vardy has hit out at sick Twitter trolls who targeted his fiancée to make sick sex threats about their child.
The striker, who has fired Leicester City to the top of the league this season against all the odds, was celebrating another incredible win against Southampton yesterday when the vile social media users struck.
They tweeted his partner and mother of their five-year-old child, Rebecca Nicholson, making despicable threats which are too graphic to publish.
However Vardy did share the comments on his Twitter account, which has 236,000 followers.

They were made after his partner posted an image of their daughter onto the social networking site.
She was pictured wearing a "Daddy" Number 9 shirt at the King Power Stadium, where Leicester City play.
Vardy retweeted his partner's tweet, which prompted the trolls to launch the abuse unprovoked.
He said the comments were "shocking and vile".
Miss Nicholson responded to one of them, saying: "There are no words for people like you! You need locking up."
The accounts - which were ran by Twitter users claiming to be Manchester United fans - are now no longer active.
One has been suspended and others have been deleted.
Fans have rallied around Vardy after seeing the disgusting abuse.
One wrote: "Oh my God - what is this?".
"Report them to the cops," another urged.
Another added: "Jamie, just to point out, not all Manchester United fans are like this, I'm sorry if those idiots have offended you."
