Rebekah Vardy has donated £10,000 to buy scrubs for healthcare workers amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The 37-year-old made the donation anonymously, but was applauded after her name came to light.
She donated the money to the Scrubs For Leicester campaign, launched by junior doctor Nicki Lygo and nutrition doctor Jim Stewart.
Nicki took to Twitter and thanked Rebekah for her generous donation.

“Thank you doesn’t go far enough. Amazing generosity. Thank you so so much,” she tweeted.
According to Leicestershire Live, the campaign was launched on April 1 and raised £1,000 on the first day.
Dr Lygo revealed that she had received a £10,000 donation from a supporter who simply called themselves RV.
“It is an incredible amount of generosity, we were aiming for £10,000 and now we’re above that and growing,” she added.
Rebekah is currently self-isolating with her footballer husband Jamie Vardy, and their three kids Sofia, 5, Finley, 3, and three-month-old Olivia.
