Rebekah Vardy taunts Wayne Rooney with x-rated swipe as Coleen joins ITV I'm A Celebrity

Rebekah Vardy has taken a brutal swipe at Wayne Rooney as her nemesis Coleen joins ITV I'm A Celebrity. Rebekah has blasted former England captain Wayne's contribution in court during the Wagatha Christie trial, and reignited her rift with the duo.

“The best bit to come from Wayne’s evidence was him being likened to a ‘hot potato’," said Becky in an exclusive interview with The Sun. “I wonder if you cut him open, if he’s all cheese and beans — because he’s defo full of s***!”

Mrs Vardy, who competed on the reality show in 2017, has accused her rival of “wanting my life” as she was announced as the Sun’s new I’m A Celeb columnist. "Everyone seems to think I have this massive problem with Coleen going into the jungle," Vardy told the publication.

"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 intentions of talking about it but she clearly can't let it go. We've done a book, we've done a documentary, we're going into the jungle.

"I think she always wanted my life, she's following in my footsteps." The 42-year-old said the abuse she endured while Rooney allegedly "sat back and allowed that to happen will never be forgiven, ever". "If people want to go and celebrate Coleen as some sort of hero for doing what she did, then they need to remember what she did and what I went through in the form of abuse I suffered off the back of something that wasn't for public consumption," Vardy told the Sun.

"Everything Coleen does is quite calculated," she added. I'm A Celebrity will air from Sunday onwards, with Ant and Dec back in Australia to host the programme.
