Asked to share her most amusing mistake or the most significant cultural adjustment she's had to make since moving to Italy, Rebekah said: "Forgetting which side of the road I was meant to be driving on. There were definitely a few hair-raising moments!"
Opening up about the moments she is most excited for audiences to see, Rebekah said: "This is us like you have never seen us before... I think viewers will be surprised by how grounded and normal a lot of our day-to-day life actually is."

"It's not glamorous, it's just authentic," she added. "I think it shows behind the football, the public attention and the big move, we're still just a family trying to navigate change together. Get to know the real us. That’s it."
On why she wanted the show to be authentic, Rebekah said that her family "wouldn't have it any other way", adding: "We didn’t want it polished or staged. The point was to be open and authentic about what this period of change looks like for our family."

"Moving on from such a big chapter in our lives affects everyone emotionally and documenting that honestly felt important," said the star, who has also appeared in I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.
She also noted some of the lessons they learned explaining: "When you completely step out of your comfort zone and rebuild your life somewhere new, it forces you to slow down and really assess what matters most."
The Vardys launches at 9pm on Tuesday 2 June on ITV1 and ITVX.
