England footballer Jamie Vardy's wife Rebekah has revealed that the no sex ban has been lifted for the team before they take on Colombia in the last 16 of the World Cup in Russia today. Rebekah went on to say that there has been no scientific evidence to prove that having sex before a match effects performance of the player on the field.

"There's nothing scientifically proven to say that [sex] hinders performance. If anything it probably excels performance," Rebekah, who is currently in Russia with the couple's children, Sofia, three, and Finlay, one, and her two kids, Megan, 11, and Taylor, six, from another relationship, told The Sun.
