Rebekah Vardy launches into Coleen Rooney again as ITV I'm A Celebrity digs continue

Rebekah Vardy has issued yet another swipe at Coleen Rooney as she competes on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

The WAG, who is married to Leicester footballer Jamie Vardy, hasn't held back her thoughts on Coleen following in her footsteps and taking part in the ITV show. Coleen famously accused Rebekah of leaking stories about her with an infamous social media post in an episode that became dubbed as 'Wagatha Christie'.

Rebekah has strongly denied all allegations. It emerged during the High Court libel trial her former agent, Caroline Watt, may have sold the stories as she had access to Rebekah's Instagram account.

Rebekah, who appeared on I'm A Celebrity in 2017, kicked off a high-profile libel battle, but in July 2022, a judge at the High Court found the post was "substantially true". A judge decided last month that Rebekah would be slapped with an extra £100,000 cost on top of the £1.8 million she’s already been told to pay Coleen.

Since this year's I'm A Celebrity started on Sunday, Rebekah has been giving a running commentary of her thoughts. She has already branded the campmates "dull and wet" and confessed her hopes of seeing Coleen eating "bull's penis and humble pie". When asked by the Sun who she wants to see do the next trial, Rebekah quipped: "Sorry it's going to have to be Coleen!"

She also slammed BBC Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough for "begging" for tickets to see McFly from campmate Danny Jones and predicted the camp niceties won't last much longer. Radio presenter Melvin Odoom faced the wrath of Rebekah as she banded him a "bore" when he confessed his crush on Carol Vorderman.

"Melvin who? If Carol Vorderman has any sense then she will turning down that offer made of a date from the radio host," she told the publication. When Coleen entered camp, Rebekah posted a snap of herself bathing in a pink bikini with her eyes closed. Appearing relaxed in the photo, Rebekah teased: "The feeling when you are living rent free in people's heads." She added a laugh-crying emoji and a winking emoji to her post.

After the first show of the series, Rebekah wrote in her column: “Coleen sank in the river twice. It's the gift that keeps on giving.” Rebekah has also given a harsh judgement on another campmate as she accused Dean McCullough of siding with Coleen. “Dean, Dean and his cosying up to Coleen. It’s so very obvious and, believe me, it is going to get tiresome. He absolutely loves to talk about Wagatha and when he does he knows he’s going to get airtime from it,” Rebekah raged in The Sun.

Nicola McLean, who is friends with both women, thinks Rebekah would take every opportunity to watch Coleen and joyfully report on her failures in the show. "I admire strong women and both of these girls are strong in different ways. Can't wait to see Coleen in the jungle and can't wait to see what Rebekah Vardy has got to say about it,” she said.
