Coleen Rooney receives shock praise from Wagatha Christie rival Rebekah Vardy after completing first 'I'm A Celebrity' Bushtucker Trial surrounded by rats, cockroaches & worms

There's no love lost between Rooney and Vardy, after the pair's infamous Wagatha Christie court trial, but relations between the two may be warming up thanks to 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!'. Coleen undertook her first Bushtucker Trial on the programme and impressed her rival as she faced rats, cockroaches and worms and managed to keep her composure.

She told The Sun: "It's blowing a gale at home but there’s definitely a rumble in the jungle. Luckily it’s not in the camp-mates’ stomachs, as Teabag Dean had Coleen with him for Absolute Carnage and they managed to get nine stars. I’m applauding Coleen. She really held her nerve as the mealworms, cockroaches and rats crawled all over her."

Coleen won a high-profile court case against Vardy after Rooney claimed she was taking stories about her to The Sun newspaper. The wife of Manchester United legend Wayne has admitted the court case was her "worst nightmare" on entering the jungle, while Vardy has made it clear she'll be voting for Coleen to undertake the challenges Down Under and wants to see her rival eating "bull's penis and humble pie".

Vardy is clearly taking great interest in Coleen's stint in the Australian jungle, which will see Rooney earn around £1.5 million over the course of her time on the programme. Husband Wayne has already admitted he could be tempted to take part in the show at some point in the future but has no time right now after taking charge of Championship side Plymouth.
