Rebekah Vardy took a swipe at her longtime rival Coleen Rooney, labeling her a "bore" after watching Thursday's episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
The 42-year-old WAG has been sharing her opinions on the show since Coleen joined the jungle cast last week. The two famously faced off in a high-profile defamation trial in 2022.
During the episode, Coleen, 38, reflected on the ups and downs of her marriage to Wayne Rooney.
However, Rebekah dismissed the scenes, criticising Coleen as "dull."
She wrote in her The Sun column: “I said in my first column that Coleen is coming across as dull in the jungle. And, well, nothing much seems to have changed five episodes into the series.
“The camp really needs a bit of drama at the minute. It's a bit dull and it's a bit wet, a bit like the washout weather.
Referring to her punishment for smuggling contraband into camp, Becky remarked: “We can't just keep relying on the PG Tips palaver to keep us entertained. Come on guys, we want more.”
On Thursday’s I’m A Celebrity, Coleen said her husband Wayne has not been forgiven in the court of public opinion over previous mistakes.
Coleen said despite “difficult” times in her marriage with the ex-footballer, the couple are “happy now”.
In 2017, Wayne was ordered to complete 100 hours of unpaid community work after admitting being nearly three times the legal drink drive limit while at the wheel of another woman’s car following a night out.
At the time, he issued an apology for his “unforgivable lack of judgment” which he described as “completely wrong”.
It came after Wayne issued a statement in 2004 admitting he had on occasion visited “massage parlours and prostitutes” when he was “very young and immature” and before he had “settled down with Coleen”.
“Since the first mistake he’s made, that’s been in the public, people have not forgiven,” Rooney told fellow campmate Oti Mabuse on the ITV show.
“When things have happened the public have wanted it to just go oh, split, you know, that’s it, split them up. But the fact is, there’s always been love still there…
“It has been difficult, but we’re happy now, after all those years… we’re a team.”
Rooney said the couple, who first met at school and began dating aged 16, had “felt older because we had to grow up quick, because we were living in the public eye”.
“All he wanted to do was play football, he struggled with the fame side of it, he hated that,” she said. “If he could’ve just played football and had none of the fame I think he would’ve been happier within life.”
Rooney admitted that her husband, who is head coach of Championship club Plymouth Argyle, always wrote her poems.
“You know the hotel pads? He was always writing a little poem and putting it in his bag and he’d give it to me when we got home,” she told campmate and podcaster GK Barry.
“They’re nice to keep but I can’t remember the last time he gave me one.”
