Rebekah Vardy has ‘no issues’ watching Coleen Rooney on I’m A Celebrity
Rebekah Vardy has teamed up with fellow ex-I’m A Celebrity contestant Dennis Wise to launch a new range of sweets-flavoured vodka shots.
Rebekah Vardy has insisted she “couldn’t care less” that Coleen Rooney has followed her into I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! – and is “enjoying” watching her taking part in trials as she and fellow former contestant Dennis Wise launch a new drinks venture together.
Vardy, who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, told the PA news agency she has “no issues whatsoever” with watching Rooney on the hit ITV show.
She said: “Why would I be uncomfortable with Coleen? The general consensus is that I have a real issue with her being on a show that I’ve done.
“I couldn’t care less. I have no issues whatsoever. I’m actually quite enjoying it.”
Rooney was dubbed Wagatha Christie when she accused Norwich-born Vardy of leaking her private information to The Sun in a viral post on social media.
In July 2022, a judge at the High Court found the post was “substantially true”.
Vardy, who is writing a column for The Sun newspaper about this year’s I’m A Celebrity series, has already stoked controversy after telling of her glee at seeing Rooney fall into the river twice, saying “it’s the gift that keeps on giving”.
The reality TV show has also sparked a new business partnership and long-term friendship with former Chelsea and England footballer Wise, who joined Vardy in the Australian jungle in 2017.
