Rebekah Vardy – who married the Premier League winner last week – has accused postman Lee Chapman of stalking her husband.

The couple were accused of letting their new-found fame go to their heads after blocking Chapman from their Twitter and Instagram accounts.

But Becky has hit back – accusing Chapman of exploiting Vardy’s success to promote his new job as a double and “becoming a stalker”.

LOOKALIKE: Lee Chapman makes £200-per-hour impersonating the footie star

Fans bombarded the power couple with calls to “unblock the postie” – using the hashtags #mardyvardy and #unblockthelad.

They accused the newlyweds of lacking a sense of humour after Vardy's agent sent Chapman a text, warning the 29-year-old of legal action if he damages the Foxes ace’s image or endorsement deals.

But Becky has taken to Twitter to reveal why she and Jamie blocked Chapman.

The 34-year-old former nightclub promoter said Chapman – who has taken a break from his Royal Mail job to work full-time as a £200-per-hour impersonator – was a “nice guy”.

But she claimed Chapman tagged himself and his lookalike agency in photographs she posted online.

And??? Being a season ticket holder doesn't give you the green light to become a stalker! �� https://t.co/upIqv9G1mf

I don't block people for no reason! https://t.co/7P32xIiRp1

The WAG tweeted: “I personally wished him all the best but also asked him to stop tagging himself into every picture I put up of my family – which usually had my children in.

“Also tagging his agency and promoting their business."

The disappointed doppelganger has denied the allegations – and even threatened Becky with legal action himself.

The dad-of-one said Becky’s tweet accusing him of being a stalker could be libellous.

Another example of a footballer who has no brain to think for himself and lets his agent do it for him @vardy7 #mardyvardy

Ironically the @vardy7 has no problem with impersonating that bloke off the Steptoes. Double standards @Lee_Chappy !#mardyvardy

He told the Sun: "I can't understand why I am supposed to be a stalker.

“I’ve only met her once and I don't tag her in any of my Twitter posts.

"I have no idea, I don't get it.

“I can't help the way I look and I'm not costing them anything."
