Rebekah Vardy has hit out at Ant and Dec just two days into the fresh series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Jamie Vardy’s wife, 42, who appeared on the programme back in 2017, didn’t shy away from commenting on fellow camper, Coleen Rooney, 38, who is taking part in the current season Down Under after their high-stakes ‘Wagatha Christie‘ courtroom drama.
Ant and Dec didn’t miss a beat poking fun at the legal battle, which saw Rebekah lose following her libel action against Coleen, quipping: “It will be nice for Coleen to face a trial that doesn’t involve Rebekah Vardy.”
In response to the jest, Rebekah was quick to chide, cautioning those ‘living in glass houses’ against stone throwing. With a sly grin, donning her iconic jungle headgear and striped neckerchief, she said: “So apart from lame jokes from Ant and Dec, who have also had their fair share of scandals in the past… easy tigers – who writes their scripts anyway – it’s been an amazing episode.”
Further adding to her commentary for The Sun, and speaking of Coleen’s outing on the show, she joked: “P.s Did I mention Coleen sank her boat twice? Oh dear!”
When a viewer reacted to her peculiar video, shared on X, one couldn’t help but remark: “Surely Jamie Vardy must be so embarrassed and cringing out his boots with this? ” Another chimed in adding: “Coming at Ant and Dec wow she has got some serious issues… trying to stay relevant.”
However, Vardy has her own set of fans, with many hoping the mother-of-four will make a surprise appearance in the jungle “just to see the look on Coleen’s face”. As soon as Coleen made her debut Down Under, Rebekah didn’t hold back in criticising her rival.
Insiders this week revealed that Rebekah has been hooked to the TV since the series returned on Sunday night. The WAG reportedly told her pals that she wouldn’t miss a moment of the Scouser’s adventures.
Rebekah made her feelings about Coleen’s I’m A Celebrity stint clear when the first episode aired. She posted a picture of herself relaxing in a pink bikini with her eyes closed on Instagram.
In the caption, she teased: “The feeling when you are living rent free in people’s heads.”
She added a laughing-crying emoji and a winking emoji to her post. As the episode continued, Rebekah posted a video of Donald Trump on her account.
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 intriguingly added an alarm clock emoji.
