Jamie Vardy’s true feelings about wife Rebekah Vardy’s feud with Coleen Rooney have been revealed after a couple of digs at her WAG rival’s appearance in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
Coleen, wife of former Manchester United and England star Wayne, is among the high-profile contestants for the 24th edition of the ITV show. She is rumoured to be earning a joint-record £1.5 million for heading into the jungle and has already been discussing her relationship with one of the Premier League‘s best ever players.
And the row with Vardy has been reignited, with plenty of jibes being made by hosts Ant and Dec and Coleen briefly talking about the ‘Wagatha Christie’ 2022 trial.
Rebekah, a former I’m a Celeb contestant back in 2017, couldn’t help but respond on Instagram, writing: “That feeling when you are living rent free in people’s heads [laughing emojis].”
The 42-year-old is serving as a columnist for The Sun on jungle affairs and in a video doing the rounds, described Coleen as “the gift that keeps on giving” after her boat sank twice in episode one.
Fans have wondered what Leicester City striker Vardy thinks about his other half’s antics but according to Rebekah, he doesn’t mind it at all and is supportive of her actions.
The mum of five also claimed any abuse subjected to him on the pitch spurs him on.
“Everyone thinks Jamie is mad at me for speaking out, but that couldn’t be further from the truth,” she said, as per The Mirror.
“He’s encouraging me, saying, ‘Give it to her, get the truth out there’. He loves it that she’s back getting headlines. The more stick he gets from the stands in football, the better he plays.”
