‘Eat a sheep’s anus!’ - When Rebekah Vardy plans to watch ‘Wagatha Christie’ rival Coleen Rooney on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here as wife of Man Utd legend Wayne prepares to enter jungle

Rooney – the wife of Manchester United legend and current Plymouth boss Wayne – is reportedly set to become the highest-paid star to enter the Australian jungle. She will be leaving her family behind in order to brave Bushtucker trials and the local wildlife Down Under.

Coleen was recently involved in a high-profile court battle with Vardy – the long-time partner of Leicester striker Jamie – and is said to have been planning a stint on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here for some time, with Rebekah having previously graced the show in 2017.

A source has told The Sun of Vardy’s imminent viewing habits: “The only time she would watch would be if she knew Coleen was going to eat a sheep’s anus.”

Said source added on Vardy’s reaction to seeing Rooney follow in her footsteps: “Coleen was banging on during the trial, claiming she was such a private person, and now she’s going on one of the most watched shows on television. She’s just doing what Becky has already done.”

ITV bosses are reportedly hoping that Rooney will spill the tea on her relationship with Wayne and trial against Vardy. She will, however, have to tread carefully there as her courtroom foe is ready to take legal action against any supposedly derogatory comments. The Sun’s source added: “Becky hopes that she does talk about Wagatha Christie, because it will be a major payday for her.”

Coleen has grown accustomed to living apart from Wayne over recent months, after seeing him take the reins at Plymouth and set up camp in Devon. His wife and four sons are based 260 miles away at the family’s Cheshire mansion.
