Rebekah Vardy gleefully mocks 'sinking' Coleen Rooney and 'unrecognisable' Tulisa

Rebekah Vardy didn’t hold back her thoughts on Coleen Rooney entering the I’m A Celebrity camp

Rebekah Vardy has officially broken her silence on Coleen Rooney’s I’m A Celebrity stint.

Shortly after Coleen entered the jungle on Sunday, hosts Ant and Dec poked fun at her high profile Wagatha Christie court case with Rebekah.

In her column about this year’s instalment of the hit ITV show, Rebekah certainly didn’t hold back as she mocked Coleen’s efforts in the opening task, writing: “Coleen sank in the river twice. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.”

She also didn’t hold back when speaking about Tulisa, writing: “Tulisa. Oh, my God. I hardly recognise her, but I love her. She’s fierce, she looks so determined and she reminds me a bit of how I was in there. You know, I really, really wanted to go in and give it all.” She added in The Sun: “And, you know, nothing really fazed me in there. But she’s very, very competitive as well, which is great.”

Just minutes into Sunday’s programme, presenter Dec joked about Coleen: “It will be nice for her to face trial that doesn’t involve Rebekah Vardy.” It was of course in reference to Coleen’s highly public clash with fellow WAG Rebekah that ended up with them both in court. Rebekah has also starred on the ITV programme back in 2017.

Coleen, 38, famously accused Rebekah of leaking stories to the Sun with an infamous social media post. Rebekah kicked off a high-profile libel battle but in July 2022, a judge at the High Court found the post was “substantially true”.

But her new column comments aren’t the first time Rebekah has given the Coleen drama a nod. As Coleen entered camp, Rebekah also 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.

And as the episode continued, Rebekah returned to her account to post a video of Donald Trump.

In the clip, Trump said: “Let them hate, let them doubt you, let them criticise because the truth is the more they throw at you, the stronger you become. The path to success is never without resistance and hate.” Alongside the video, Rebekah simply added an emoji of an alarm clock.

When asked if she would tune into ITV to watch one of the original WAGs face the Bushtucker trials, Rebekah previously said: “Absolutely, we’ll be watching avidly. Everyone seems to think I have this massive problem with Coleen going into the jungle. But do you know what? If you want to fan the fire, the flames are going to get higher. I wasn’t going to carry on talking about this, I had no intention of talking about it, but she clearly can’t let it go.”

Despite being landed with huge legal costs, money does not appear to be an object as she also claimed that she would happily drop everything and jump “on the plane now” to enter the camp alongside Coleen. She declared: “One hundred per cent, I’d say yes if they asked me. Get me on the plane now. Over to you, ITV.”
