REVEREND RICHARD COLES

Rebekah Vardy branded her arch rival Coleen Rooney a ‘bore’ after tuning into Thursday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity. 

The WAG, 42, has been weighing in on the show after Coleen entered the jungle last week, who she was locked in a notorious defamation trial with in 2022. 

After Coleen, 38,opened up about the highs and lows of her marriage to husband Wayne in the episode, Rebekah was not gripped by the scenes and called her ‘dull’. 

She wrote in The Sun: ‘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.

In reference being punished for sneaking contraband into camp, Becky said: ‘We can’t just keep relying on the PG Tips palaver to keep us entertained. Come on guys, we want more.’

The WAG, 42, has been weighing in on the show after Coleen entered the jungle last week, who she was locked in a notorious defamation trial with in 2022

On Thursday’s show, Coleen gave a rare insight into her 16-year marriage with husband Wayne, admitting he has ‘made mistakes’ on Thursday’s I’m A Celebrity. 

The WAG, 38, spoke about going against the public, who had urged her to divorce the footballer, 39, after his infidelities’ emerged. 

Coleen confided in campmate Oti Mabuse why she and Wayne have remained together and said while ‘it has been difficult, we’re happy now, after all those years… we’re a team.’

The conversation turned to their turbulent marriage when talking about Wayne’s footballing career.

Coleen said: ‘All he wanted to do was play football, he struggled with the fame side of it, he hated that. If he could’ve just played football and had none of the fame I think he would’ve been happier within life.’

‘He’s made mistakes along the way, but from 16, obviously you’re going to, that’s life.’

Explaining they got married young at 22, and engaged at 17/18, Coleen admitted because of that, ‘We felt older, because we had to grow up quick, because we were living in the public eye.’ 

‘Since the first mistake he’s made, that’s been in the public, people have not forgiven. 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.’ 

After Coleen, 38, opened up about the highs and lows of her marriage to husband Wayne in the episode, Rebekah was not gripped by the scenes and called her ‘dull’ 

Coleen’s appearance on the show comes after she won a libel court case against Rebekah

Coleen and Wayne tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in Italy in 2008, with the big day said to have cost an estimated £5m. 

Before they married in a stunning ceremony in the village of Portofino on the Italian Riviera in 2008, Wayne admitted sleeping with prosтιтutes after being caught on CCTV at a backstreet Liverpool brothel. 

One was a 48-year-old grandmother known as ‘Auld Slapper’ who wore a rubber catsuit. 

Then came his threesome with two more, Helen Wood and Jenny Thompson, at The Lowry H๏τel in Manchester in 2010.

In 2017, Wayne was caught driving Cheshire-based estate agent Laura Simpson’s car while over the drink-drive limit. But Coleen has stood by him through all of it.

‘It has been difficult, but we’re happy now, after all those years… we’re a team,’ she said. 

Speaking to GK Barry later on, she revealed: ‘Wayne’s always wrote me poems.’ Shocked, GK asked: ‘Wayne Rooney?’

Due to his football commitments, Wayne will not be jetting out to Australia to greet Coleen when she leaves the camp over its iconic bridge

Coleen said: ‘You know the H๏τel 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.’

‘They’re nice to keep but I can’t remember the last time he gave me one…’

GK joked: ‘Well you might have one coming up: Roses are red, jungle is green, you’re my love, Coleen.’

Reflecting in the Bush Telegraph, Coleen said: ‘He is romantic in ways, we’re not the lovey dovey couple in public but little things like that I think it keeps the relationship alive and it’s special when someone’s done something just for you, and the words mean something.’
