Rebekah Vardy has ripped into Ant and Dec just two days into the new series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!
The wife of footballer, Jamie Vardy, 42, who was a contestant on the show in 2017, has been very vocal about campmate, Coleen Rooney, 38, who is among the class of 2024 in Australia, after the WAGs' epic Wagatha Christie trial.
I'm A Celeb hosts Ant and Dec wasted no time in making a joke about the high-profile court case, which Rebekah lost after suing Coleen for libel, teasing: "It will be nice for Coleen to face a trial that doesn't involve Rebekah Vardy."

Replying to the clip, Rebekah didn't hold back, warning 'people in glass houses not to throw stones'. Smirking, sporting her jungle hat and a striped neckerchief, she replied: "So apart from lame jokes from Ant and Dec, who have also had their fair share of scandals in the past...easy tigers," she said in a threat to the host.
"Who writes their scripts anyway?" she asked.
Adding in her video for the The Sun, referring to Coleen's debut in the show, she quipped: "P.s Did I mention Coleen sank her boat twice? Oh dear!"
Ant McPartlin was forced to pull out of I'm A Celeb back in 2018 after checking into rehab for alcohol abuse. McPartlin stepped back from the small screen after being arrested for drink-driving and subsequently admitting himself to rehab in March that year. The announcement came months after the presenter split from long-term partner Lisa Armstrong.
After a year away, where he was replaced by Holly Willoughby, Ant made a triumphant return in 2019 where he was welcomed with a hug by TV partner Declan Donnelly.
Dec said at the time: "Whilst I am obviously sad at the thought of being without my best friend in Australia this year, I am proud of the work Ant has been doing privately and I am fully supportive of his decision." He later admitted Ants troubles had been the biggest threat to their friendship in their 20 year career and he was relieved to put the ordeal behind them.
Since then the pair have continued to go from strength to strength, this year picking up the National TV Award for best presenters for the 23rd year running. While Ant became a first time dad this year after wife Anne Marie gave birth to their first child Wilder.
Responding to the bizarre clip, which has been shared on X, one viewer wrote: "Surely Jamie Vardy must be so embarrassed and cringing out his boots with this?" Meanwhile, another said: "Coming at Ant and Dec wow she has got some serious issues… trying to stay relevant."
However, other viewers love Rebekah, with several hoping the mum-of-four will rock up in the jungle as a wild card "just to see the look on Coleen's face".
As soon as Coleen made her debut Down Under, Rebekah wasted no time in criticising her nemesis. Insiders revealed this week that Rebekah has been glued to the TV ever since the 2024 series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! landed back on screens on Sunday night. The WAG has reportedly told her friends that she wouldn't miss a second of the Scouser's adventures in the Australian outback.
Rebekah made her feelings towards Coleen's I'm A Celebrity stint crystal clear when the first episode debuted. The WAG took to her Instagram account posted a snap of herself bathing in a pink bikini with her eyes closed. Appearing relaxed in the photo, Rebekah teased: "The feeling when you are living rent free in people's heads." She added a laugh-crying emoji and a winking emoji to her post. As the episode continued, Rebekah returned to her account to post a video of Donald Trump.
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 curiously added an emoji of an alarm clock.
