Sheffield football star Jamie Vardy and wife Rebekah named among world's most trolled celebrities

Online trolling is on the rise and new statistics show that the celebrity couple are among some of the most bullied on social media.

The new report analysed 500,000 recent tweets that have mentioned celebrities worldwide to find out who is trolled the most from Donald Trump to Katie Price.

The study by OnlineCasino.ca analysed the sentiment of each post to discover what % of those included positive messaging vs negative and a ratio based on the number of tweets that mentioned each celebrity.

Rebekah was named 19th in the rundown, with more than 50,000 mentions – with 21% of them negative.

And it wasn’t much better news for husband Jamie who also made the top 30, with nearly 10,000 mentions, 15% of them negative.

Singer Adele tops the chart as the most trolled celebrity - more than Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian.

The data showed that when weighing up the negativity to tweets ratio - Adele was surprisingly revealed to be the most trolled on Twitter after her dramatic weight loss was revealed. This is then followed by British reality TV star Gemma Collins, Meghan Markle, Piers Morgan and Donald Trump.

Shockingly 66% of tweets mentioning or targeting Adele had a negative sentiment in comparison to Donald Trump’s 48%. Although Trump receives many more mentions than Adele, 21% of them include positive messaging whereas Adele receives just 15% positivity. The negative tweets outweigh the positive for Adele putting her at the top of the list.

The pair met when she was hired to organise his birthday party back in 2014.

Following a two-year relationship, Rebekah and Jamie, 30, got married in 2016.

Sheffield born Jamie started his career with Stocksbridge Park Steels at 16 after being released by Sheffield Wednesday making his first team debut in 2007 and earning £30 a week.

Since then, he has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the game, winning the Premier League with Leicester City, becoming one of Britain's hottest goalscoring talents and becoming a regular in the England line-up
