REVEREND RICHARD COLES
Super sleuth Coleen Rooney got suspicious about the true nature of the Jungle Junkyard during Friday night’s episode.
The WAG, 38, got her impressive investigative skills back to work to try and uncover what is really going on at Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles’ camp.
Fans were quick to compare Coleen’s detective skills to her infamous Wagatha Christie case, with some viewers joking she’s ‘better than MI6’.
Coleen put a widely-shared post on Instagram which accused Rebekah of leaking ‘false stories’ about her private life to the press.
Wagatha Christie is the popular name given to Coleen and Rebekah’s £1.8 million court case, which culminated in a 2022.
Rebekah denied the allegations and sued Coleen for libel, but the case – dubbed the ‘Wagatha Christie’ trial – found in Coleen’s favour, and left Rebekah liable to pay £1.5 million towards Coleen’s legal fees.

As dinner time loomed in main camp on Friday, the celebrities were told they would have to sacrifice part of their spread to ensure Junkyard campmates Maura, Richard and newbie Dean got to eat.
Volunteering to deliver the goods, Coleen and Danny Jones headed over to the Junkyard – but after seeing the camp’s conditions they left a little suspicious.
Dean was sent to join Maura and Richard in the Junkyard after the duo were forced to make a difficult during The High Street of Horrors Bushtucker Trial alongside McFly’s Danny.
Maura and Richard kept up the pretence, feigning they would have to endure another night of sleeping on the floor.
Until Maura told Dean: ‘The only half decent thing we have over here, this red ʙuттon, press that, it’s actually quite interesting. It’s not great but it’s something.’
As Dean pressed the ʙuттon, he too was let in on the Jungle Junkyard secret. Rendered speechless, he whispered: ‘You’ve got to be kidding me!’
Dean was clearly impressed with Maura and Richard’s acting skills, as he told Maura: ‘The BAFTA is coming!’
Back in main camp they all reflected, as they said: ‘Poor Dean.’

When Coleen and Danny returned back to main camp, they updated their fellow campmates on the Jungle Junkyard conditions. Suspicions were beginning to be raised
Coleen said: ‘I came out of here not convinced they are living in them conditions’
In the Jungle Junkyard, Maura kicked back and relaxed in a warm bubble bath to clean herself from the day’s Trial, complete with bath salts to provide a full spa experience to ensure she was smelling as fresh as a daisy.
When it was dinner time in both camps, the Jungle Junkyard received a full spread of fish, sides and dessert – unbeknownst to the main camp.
The note which accompanied it read: ‘However, as the celebrities in main camp believe you won zero stars in today’s Trial, they have been given the chance to sacrifice some of their dinner so that you can eat tonight.
‘If they decide to sacrifice their food then you win three more portions at the junk food buffet.’
Main camp found it in the goodness of their hearts to give up some of their dinner, with Coleen and Danny volunteering to deliver the goods to the Jungle Junkyard first-hand to check in on Maura, Richard and Dean.
When Coleen and Danny returned back to main camp, they updated their fellow campmates on the Jungle Junkyard conditions. Suspicions were beginning to be raised.

‘And the fact you was the one to find it out’, GK Barry added.
Fans branded Coleen the ultimate sleuth as they wrote on X: ‘Coleen Rooney better than the MI6 that woman #ImACeleb’,
‘Coleen Rooney can see through lies and deception like it is a sixth sense… I wonder why’,
‘Of course Coleen ‘wagatha christie’ Rooney susses them out straight away #ImACeleb’,
‘have we tried asking coleen rooney to find the aliens in the ocean? i reckon she’d find them in twelve minutes #imaceleb’.
