Rebekah Vardy on Coleen’s I’m A Celeb Journey: Bull’s Penis, Ostrich Bum & Humble Pie
Rebekah Vardy vs. Coleen Rooney: The Feud Reignited
Rebekah Vardy has re-entered the spotlight as a columnist for The Sun, coinciding with Coleen Rooney’s participation in I’m A Celebrity. The two have a long-standing feud that began in 2019 when Coleen accused Rebekah of leaking stories to the press.
Vardy expressed her feelings about Rooney’s jungle adventure, mocking her eating challenges. When asked about Coleen’s potential trials, she quipped, “Yeah, penis. Or humble pie,” hinting at their contentious history.
Vardy stressed that she would be watching closely, remarking, “Everyone thinks I have this massive problem with Coleen going into the jungle,” but she dismisses the notion, suggesting it only fuels their rivalry.
Their feud intensified after a judge sided with Coleen during a defamation trial. Vardy maintains her innocence, claiming the judge was wrong in his decision. She questioned Coleen’s motives, suggesting that her rival was seeking media attention under the guise of reality TV, diametrically opposed to her claims of privacy.
Rebekah is critical of Coleen’s public persona, indicating that everything she does appears calculated. “She likes to be the victim,” Vardy noted, suggesting that this strategy serves her brand.
Amidst the back-and-forth, Vardy remains adamant about her side of the story. She reflected on Coleen’s comments about being a private individual while participating in a high-profile show, calling it ironic.
Although she claims to harbor no ill will, Vardy remains visibly upset about the social media backlash she faced during the feud, particularly when she was pregnant. In interviews, she articulated her frustrations, suggesting it would have been better for Coleen to discuss issues directly rather than publicly airing them.
Looking ahead, Vardy expressed a willingness to confront Rooney, jokingly suggesting an appearance on I’m A Celebrity as a special guest for some much-needed closure. She emphasized, “Let bygones be bygones. You can’t hold grudges forever.”
