As WAG wars go, Wagatha Christie and the more recent fall out between Kyle Walker‘s wife and his ex-mistress are the biggest ever.
And now it can be revealed that the two are about to become rather similar after Lauryn Goodman hired the same PR as Rebekah Vardy used in her battle with Coleen Rooney.
Lauryn, 32, who has two children with Kyle, has instructed former News of the World journalist Ian Edmondson to do her public relations just days after she and the England defender were seen at a London court for a two day hearing.
A source said: ‘What a coincidence that he is involved in this case too, Ian was Rebekah’s attack dog and now surely he will be doing the same for Lauryn, it obviously shows that Lauryn means business.’
The football two wars were already intertwined. Annie Kilner and Kyle hired Rachel Monk – Coleen’s PR who navigated her through Wagatha Christie but also worked with her for more than a decade before – at the beginning of the year.

Annie had also enlisted the services of litigator and sport lawyer Paul Lunt.
Last week Kyle returned from the Euros to face a court showdown with his ex-mistress.
Just days after the England footballer, 34, experienced the heartbreak of his team’s 2-1 defeat in Berlin, he was in court lining up against Lauryn.
She was seen entering the London court yesterday on the second day of a two-day hearing w earing a necklace with the initials ‘KW’ which are those of her son Kairo.
Walker emerged from a car still wearing his wedding ring and strode purposefully into the building.
The footballer, who has four children with wife Annie, 32, was embroiled in a paternity scandal earlier this year.
It emerged that he had fathered a daughter with influencer and model Lauryn – four years after they had a son together.
Ms Kilner kicked him out of the marital mansion in Cheshire and he is now renting a property nearby with the marriage on the rocks.
The scandal cast a shadow over Walker’s Euros, with his ex-mistress travelling to the tournament with their son. It was said to have infuriated Ms Kilner who was there with her children.
Walker has described his wife as his soulmate. In an interview earlier this year, he said: ‘I’ve caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. The only person to blame is me.’
