Jamie Vardy leaves England Euro 2016 hotel as he prepares to get married to fiancee Becky Nicholson
The Leicester striker must be well-behaved at his big party
JAMIE VARDY has left England’s hotel as he prepares for the biggest party of his incredible season.
The Three Lions striker will continue his fairytale year when he ties the knot with fiancee Becky Nicholson at a lavish Peckforton Castle in Cheshire on Wednesday.
Vardy scored 24 goals for Leicester this term and celebrated in style with team-mates when Tottenham’s draw at Chelsea handed the Foxes a miracle Premier League title win in earlier this month.
The 29-year-old then toasted the 5000/1 victory with 250,000 ecstatic fans on an open top bus tour through the city’s streets.
But he has been warned to be on best behaviour on his latest big day — and not just by bride-to-be Becky.
Vardy has been given special leave from his country’s Euro 2016 camp in Manchester for the lavish ceremony.
He will also miss the warm-up friendly with Australia on Friday.
And boss Roy Hodgson has told him to stay off the booze — as he wants him on top of his game when he links up with the squad again on Saturday.
Vardy cancelled his wedding plans last summer when he was a shock pick in Hodgson’s squad for the clashes with Republic of Ireland and Slovenia.
He then moved it from June to May to avoid a clash with the Euros when his sparkling form fired him into contention for a place at the finals.
The attacker was named in England’s 26-man provisional squad last week and Hodgson is certain the forward – who has scored in each of his last three international caps — will be on best behaviour with a seat on the plane to France on the line.
The boss said: “I hope he will be sensible and I believe he will be sensible.
“By all means feel free to ask if he intends to let down his hair and do some stupid things after the wedding and if the answer is ‘yes’ feel free to batter him in the press.
“I know he really is desperate to be selected to go to the Euros so I’m pretty confident when I see him on Saturday morning he will be fine.”
Leicester pal Danny Drinkwater is allowed attend the 2pm ceremony before linking up with the squad in Manchester for training two hours later.
The rest of the Three Lions squad were invited to the bash but have not been given leave.
Vardy confirmed: “There is no honeymoon. I’ll have to take that next year some time and it will be a very quiet night on Wednesday.
“I’ve not got a curfew but at the end of the day I’m a professional.
“I will be making sure I get plenty of sleep ready to come back and I’ll try and keep my speech short and sweet!”
Other footballers who have married at Peckforton include Rio Ferdinand, Phil Bardsley, Fabrice Muamba, Wes Brown and Alan Smith.
Earlier this month SunSport revealed guests at the castle can be greeted by a golden eagle while wedding rings are delivered by a barn owl on to the groom’s hands.
