Fans of I’m a Celeb declared that “Wagatha Christie was back” as Coleen Rooney once again demonstrated her knack for uncovering deceit. The spouse of footballer Wayne Rooney voiced her doubts about Love Island’s Maura and Reverand Richard.
The show began with teasers of what was to unfold in tonight’s episode (November 22). Maura informed GK Barry that she and the Reverand had been “sleeping on the floor”, before returning to the main camp to inform the others that it was a “junk yard”.
Discussing the supposed hardships that Maura and Richard were enduring, Grace stated: “I don’t know if Maura is going to last there.”
The preview then switched to a shot of Maura sporting a huge smile, apparently having a blast. In another snippet, Richard exclaimed: “It’s not exactly tea and sandwiches, is it? ” continuing the pretence.
He further added: “We’ve got no food, we’ve got no comfort”, while other clips showed them both snug in plush-looking beds with fruit in the fridge, reports the Express.
However, it appeared that Coleen was quick to catch on, sharing with her campmates: “I got this look and it was like they’re not telling us the truth. I think there’s something not right.”
Coleen’s remarks sparked a frenzy on social media. One user took to X/Twitter, writing: “Course it’s Wagatha Christie Coleen that’s able to rumble them #ImACelebGet this woman in the police force, she can solve anything.”
Viewers were absolutely tickled pink when one tweeted: “Coleen really is Wagatha Christie isn’t she #ImACeleb,” and another concurred with the sentiment, saying: “Ooh, Wagatha Christie is on the case! You can’t get anything past Colleen. #ImACeleb.”
Further amusement was found when someone humorously remarked: “Hahah looks like Wagatha Christie does it again and susses out what’s going on in the other camp [laughing face emojis] #imaceleb.”
Coleen Rooney earned the moniker “Wagatha Christie” following her very public spat with fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy, after Coleen accused her of leaking private stories to the press. Their legal battle turned heads nationwide and morphed into an engrossing daily drama in 2022.
During the infamous libel case, initiated by Vardy against Rooney, the court ruled in favour of Rooney on July 29, finding that her accusations were largely accurate.
