Rebekah Vardy appears to take brutal dig at Coleen Rooney following I’m A Celebrity announcement

Rebekah Vardy appears to take brutal dig at Coleen Rooney following I’m A Celebrity announcement

It doesn't sound as though Rebekah Vardy is willing to let go of her 'Wagatha Christie' beef with Coleen Rooney just yet

Just days ahead of her best 'frenemy' Coleen Rooney's eagerly-awaited stint in the I'm A Celebrity jungle, Rebekah Vardy has seeming reignited her beef with the fellow WAG.

That's right, people - it looks like 'Wagatha Christie Part II' is finally upon us as Coleen joined the 2024 I'm a Celeb line-up. We better get the popcorn ready...

For those in need of a little reminder about the pair's relationship, Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney first publicly butted-heads all the way back in 2019.

In the years prior, they were regularly spotted at the same football games - having both wed footballers, Jamie Vardy and Wayne Rooney - but didn't appear to be particularly close.

Five years ago, however, mother-of-four Coleen left her fans blindsided by revealing that she'd been playing detective for several weeks, and had discovered that someone in her circle had been selling stories on her personal life to The Sun.

Revealing that she'd slowly added 'suspects' to her privatised 'Close Friends' stories on Instagram before sharing fabricated aspects of her relationship with hubby Wayne to see which would hit the headlines, Coleen eventually name-dropped Rebekah online.

Despite Rebekah accusing her of defamation, a subsequent 2022 court case saw Coleen come out on top.

The pair are still fighting over just how much Vardy should pay, with a judge demanding she cover 90 percent of Rooney's legal fees, which came to a whopping £1.8 million.

Vardy's lawyers argue the 'sheer magnitude' of Rooney's legal bill doesn't add up.

Despite all this, it doesn't look as though Rebekah is willing yet to let bygones be bygones.

Taking to social media today (5 November), the mother-of-six shared a snap of herself on the 2017 series - from which she was famously voted out early amid a 'bullying row' - along with a pretty damning caption about Coleen's forthcoming IAC gig.

"That feeling when you start seeing rehashed nonsense," she penned in the caption.

It wasn't just Rebekah's apparent reference to their feud that has set tongues wagging, however, but the inclusion of a pigeon GIF on the picture.

And whilst the choice of animal meme might seen random to those out of their loop with the pair's dispute, it looks as though Vardy is reiterating a point she made back in 2019 about Coleen.

Speaking to press at the time, the former Dancing On Ice star described Coleen as a 'pigeon that would s**t in your hair'.

Rebekah, now 42, appeared in the Australian jungle seven years ago, but was the third contestant voted off following she, Amir Khan and Jamie Lomas' parts in an alleged 'bullying row' with cast-mate Iain Lee.

Coleen, 38, will appear on Ant and Dec's nightly hit from 17 November alongside the likes of McFly singer Danny Jones, Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse, Loose Women panellist Jane Moore, Radio 1 star Dean McCullough, N-Dubz performer Tulisa and boxing promoter Barry McGuigan.

The line-up will also see television presenter Melvin Odoom taking part, alongside Coronation Street's Alan Halsall, Love Island bombshell Maura Higgins, radio host and author Reverend Richard Coles, and TikTok influencer GK Barry.
