-

England footballer Jamie Vardy has attacked Twitter trolls for their "shocking and vile" sexual threats against his one-year-old daughter.


England footballer Jamie Vardy has attacked Twitter trolls for their "shocking and vile" sexual threats against his one-year-old daughter.
The Leicester City striker's fiancee Rebekah Nicholson posted a photograph of their little girl on the social media site on Sunday evening, wearing the club's home shirt with "Daddy" emblazoned on the back.
"Thanks to @CuteCute_co_uk for Sofia's gorgeous Leicester Blue clip!" she wrote.
But the tweet prompted comments of a violent, sexual nature from some on Twitter.
She responded to one and said: "There are no words for people like you! You need locking up."
A spokeswoman for Leicestershire Police said a formal complaint about "an abusive message" had been received by the force.
"Leicestershire Police is investigating a report of malicious communication being sent via social media.
"Enquiries remain ongoing and the force is liaising with Leicester City Football Club."
Vardy posted a screenshot of the threats and described them as "shocking and vile".
Other Twitter users joined the footballer in slamming the "disgusting" tweets.
A spokesman for Leicester City Football Club said: "We have offered our full support to Jamie and his family in dealing with this shocking abuse and referred the matter to the police."

And to make the story look more credible, a picture of Niyi proposing to Mimi went viral thus making more people believe there was really something going on between the two. However, in a recent chat with  Saturday Beats , Mimi claimed the picture was a location photo taken while on set. “No, I am not engaged to him, the picture that went viral with him proposing to me happened on set of a movie,  Risk (Ewu) produced by me. He is a senior colleague and a friend. I addressed the controversy the next day when I found out it was all over the news, even Niyi Johnson did but the bloggers who went on saying I was engaged to him didn’t say it happened in a movie. We both deb...

Emmanuel Ikubuese became popular when he won the Mr. Nigeria contest few years ago. But now, his popularity somewhat went a notch higher with his ‘sex’ role in  Fifty , a Mo Abudu movie. Of course, the sex scene he played in the movie got many buzzing with not a few people wondering aloud how Ikubuese could be so brazen in the movie. Explaining his role, Ikubuese said it was it was a job and he had to do it very well. “I see acting as an art and you need to prove yourself. The film does not have anything to do with our cultural values.  Fifty  has a vision and the vision is not only to sell in Nigeria but an international vision to show the world.  I believe movie is about bringing life into an act.” However, Ikubuese said he had hoped his parents didn’t get to watch the movie and see the role he played. “Actually, I didn’t want them to see it, they always come out to watch my movies at the cinemas but I did not tell them about  Fifty . But it was s...
