WAG Rebekah Vardy didn’t hold back her thoughts on Coleen Rooney entering the I’m A Celebrity camp as she shared a savage social media post as the show aired
Rebekah Vardy made her feelings towards Coleen Rooney’s I’m A Celebrity stint crystal clear.
The WAG took to her Instagram account during the first episode of the hit ITV series on Sunday night to express her thoughts. It comes after fellow WAG Coleen entered the Australian jungle, with hosts Ant and Dec already poking fun at her high profile Wagatha Christie court case with Rebekah.
Minutes into the programme, presenter Dec joked: “It will be nice for her to face trial that doesn’t involve Rebekah Vardy.” It is 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.
The Scouse star, 38, famously accused Rebekah of leaking stories to the Sun with an infamous social media post. Rebekah kicked off high-profile libel battle but in July 2022, a judge at the High Court found the post was “substantially true”. As Coleen entered camp, Rebekah posted a snap of herself bathing in a pink bikini with here 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. 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 told the Sun: “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.”

She declared: “One hundred per cent, I’d say yes if they asked me. Get me on the plane now. Over to you, ITV.”
In what seemed like a swipe at Coleen just two days before the start of the ITV show, Rebekah posted online: “I take rumours as a compliment. The fact that you’re bringing my name onto tables I don’t sit at shows your obsession. Stay bothered.” The pair’s friendship came to an end after Coleen accused Rebekah of leaking stories about her to the press from her private social media account. After months of investigation, Coleen decided to filter out the person leaking stories by hiding all of her friends on her account – apart from Rebekah.
