Rebekah Vardy issues fresh 'accusation' at Coleen Rooney on eve of ITV I'm A Celebrity

Rebekah Vardy has accused Coleen Rooney of "copying her" and wanting her life - in the wake of the WAG following in her footsteps by signing up for ITV I'm A Celebrity. Coleen will enter the jungle on Sunday (November 17) during the launch show, hosted by Ant and Dec.

In a new exclusive interview, she said to the Sun newspaper: “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.

“I mean, we’ve done a book, we’ve done a documentary, we’re going into the jungle. What’s next — Dancing On Ice?" Rebekah went on and also added to the newspaper: “She’s following in my footsteps. I think she always wanted my life.”

Becky said: “Coleen’s legal team were very dismissive about my reality TV past. They mocked it. So for her to be doing the jungle now, it’s hypocrisy at its finest, isn’t it? I think there was always a plan for reinvention. She stayed out of the public eye for so long.

“There were so many stories, negative stories, about Wayne. And I think she wanted to turn things around for herself. We’ve gone from a person about whom her legal team stood up in court and said, ‘She’s such a private individual’, and now this so-called private individual is going on one of the biggest reality TV shows in the UK. I mean, it’s ironic really.”

Ahead of the series, Coleen issued a video which said: "I've planned, I've prepped, I've got so many people, family, friends, school friends all helping out with the kids so they're going to be fine. They're probably going to have a great time while I'm away."

The 38-year-old continued: "I have prepped as you can see, behind me that is like literally front and back four weeks of just timetables, football runs, parties, just everything."
