I’m A Celeb is back and it didn’t take long for Ant and Dec to take a swipe at campmate Coleen Rooney’s feud with Rebekah Vardy.

“It will be nice for her to face a trial that doesn’t involve Rebekah Vardy,” the duo joked – and they’re not the only ones who have weighed in.

Vardy herself has commented on her friend-turned-enemy’s jungle stint, and she obviously didn’t have anything nice to say.
 

In a new interview with The Sun, the WAG accused Rooney of copying her by going into I’m A Celebrity.

“I think she always wanted my life,” she said. “She’s following in my footsteps.”

Vardy joked that she’s already copied her documentary and entered the jungle, so will probably do Dancing on Ice next.

Jamie’s wife starred on the ITV reality show in 2017 and was the third to be eliminated.

She claimed there are “no hard feelings” towards her for doing these reality shows. However, the “hard feelings are still there in what she has caused”.

“The abuse that I endured while she sat back and allowed that to happen will never be forgiven. Ever. As a mum, I still can’t comprehend you know, how you could do that to someone.”

 

In 2019, Rooney revealed that she was secretly operating an Instagram account leaking posts from Vardy’s private account to The Sun.

The following year, Rebekah then sued Coleen for libel and the case was brought to trial in London in May 2022.

Nicknamed Wagatha Christie, the lawsuit was a hot topic of conversation worldwide. Rooney won as the judge ruled her accusations “substantially true”.

Vardy was then ordered to pay a huge portion of her legal fees, adding up to a whopping £3 million with her own fees on top.

The 42-year-old also told The Sun Coleen’s jungle stint is an attempt to “reinvent” herself.

“She stayed out of the public eye for so long, there were so many negative stories about Wayne, and I think she wanted to turn things around for herself,” she claimed.

It’s now been five years since the feud began, and Vardy says this is her “five-year plan” to get popular again.

“It just feels premeditated.”
