Coleen Rooney’s just copying me. I think she always wanted my life, says Rebekah Vardy
REBEKAH Vardy has accused her WAG rival Coleen Rooney of “copying me” and “wanting my life”.
The Sun’s I’m A Celebrity columnist hasn’t held back in her assessment of Coleen’s decision to sign up for the ITV reality show following their famous Wagatha Christie courtroom showdown.
In a new exclusive interview, she said: “Everyone seems to think I have this massive problem with Coleen going into the jungle.
“But do you know what? If you want to fan the fire, the flames are going to get higher. I wasn’t going to carry on talking about this, I had no intention of talking about it, but she clearly can’t let it go.
“I mean, we’ve done a book, we’ve done a documentary, we’re going into the jungle. What’s next — Dancing On Ice?
“She’s following in my footsteps. I think she always wanted my life.”
Becky was on the ITV ice skating show back in 2021.
And during her own stint on I’m A Celeb in 2017, she did trials including the Bushtucker eating challenge, which saw her feasting on sheep anus, fermented egg, emu foot, vomit fruit and a bull’s penis.
Becky will be watching Coleen get to grips with camp life while she’s on a luxury family holiday in Dubai, free from the rations and restrictions placed on the celebs Down Under.
Admitting she was surprised to see Coleen slumming on the show, Becky said: “Becky said: “Coleen’s legal team were very dismissive about my reality TV past. They mocked it.
“So for her to be doing the jungle now, it’s hypocrisy at its finest, isn’t it? I think there was always a plan for reinvention. She stayed out of the public eye for so long.
“There were so many stories, negative stories, about Wayne. And I think she wanted to turn things around for herself.
“We’ve gone from a person about whom her legal team stood up in court and said, ‘She’s such a private individual’, and now this so-called private individual is going on one of the biggest reality TV shows in the UK. I mean, it’s ironic really.”
Becky will be giving her opinions on each I’m A Celebrity episode every day in The Sun.
