I'm A Celebrity viewers stunned over Ant and Dec's Rebekah Vardy dig
(ITV)
ITV I'm A Celeb's Ant and Dec kick off with savage Rebekah Vardy joke about Coleen Rooney.
Ant and Dec didn't hold back about Coleen Rooney's feud with Rebekah Vardy as the WAG joined this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
In the opening moments of the show, the hosts introduced the celebrities, with Dec throwing in a quip: "It will be nice for her to face trial that doesn't involve Rebekah Vardy."
The line was a nod to the recent court case between Coleen and Rebekah.
Rooney was dubbed Wagatha Christie when she accused Norwich-born Vardy, who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie 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".
The ITV reality show, famous for its eating contests and terrifying trials, returned on Sunday for the first episode of the new series.
Dancing On Ice judge and former Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse, N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos, Loose Women’s Jane Moore and McFly star Danny Jones are among this year’s contestants.
Liverpool-born Rooney, 38, follows Vardy, 42, who competed in the 17th series of the reality TV show in 2017.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight at 9pm.
