Once Coleen Rooney entered the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle, Wagatha Christie was of course soon back on everyone’s minds - even Ant and Dec have been making plenty of jokes about the infamous court case. But ironically (considering what she’s been saying) no one seems to be more obsessed with Coleen’s reality TV stint than Rebekah Vardy.
She's claimed that Coleen 'always wanted her life', as proven by her following in her jungle footsteps (quick reminder: Rebekah appeared on the iconic show back in 2017), not only that but Rebekah's been watching the show religiously and has even been taking to social media to mock her WAG rival.
But according to Rebekah's former campmate Amir Khan, it will be Coleen who has the last laugh. Not only was Coleen reportedly paid £1.5million (the largest fee in the show’s history) compared to Rebekah’s £100,000, but the former boxer believes that Coleen’s stint in the jungle will only increase her popularity.
Speaking to Prime Casino Amir said, ‘Rebekah Vardy was in there with me, but you know what I like Coleen Rooney. I think she’s quite a simple person. I think she’ll last a lot longer than probably Rebekah Vardy did when she was in there with me.
'The reason I say that is that, coming from a financially very strong situation, also having a husband who is a big renowned football player, I think she will be one of the top contestants there because she is what you see.
‘She’s very simple. My wife has said the same thing. She’s a very simple girl and there are going to be a lot of people out there who will want to see how she’s going to be in there, and I think she’s going to be brilliant.’
Honestly, it won’t be too hard for Coleen to last longer in the I’m A Celeb jungle than Rebekah considering the latter was the third celebrity eliminated from the 17th series of the show.
And Amir adds, ‘[Coleen] should last longer than Rebekah, 100%. I like Rebekah Vardy. She’s a friend of mine now. But when I was first in there she was very hard on a lot of the other people in there participating.
‘Even at times with me she’d say silly things that I didn’t like at the time, but with Coleen I don’t think she’s like that. She doesn’t really have that cheekiness or is that type of person that likes to put someone down a bit.’
