Coleen Rooney’s ‘battle to be Queen of the Jungle shower: WAG hits the gym to match Maura Higgins on I’m A Celebrity’

Coleen Rooney is reportedly determined to look her best in the I’m A Celebrity jungle as she is set to be living alongside the likes of Love Island’s Maura Higgins.

The WAG, 38, has been seen going for gym workouts in recent days as she will undoubtedly be seen in a ʙικιɴι while in the famous jungle shower.

The mother-of-four may face compeтιтion from Irish model Maura, 33, who regularly posts sizzling ʙικιɴι snaps to her Instagram.

According to The Sun, Coleen has recently switched from weights-based classes to reformer pilates ahead of her appearance on the show.

A source said: ‘Coleen has been hitting the pilates sessions religiously and thrown herself into having a svelte physique so she looks amazing on screen.

‘There will be younger women on the show with her and she, understandably, wants to feel confident in a ʙικιɴι on screen.’

MailOnline has contacted representatives of Coleen Rooney for comment.

Coleen has recently been working up a sweat at Rise Fitness Studios in Liverpool.  

Sharing a snap of herself there during a workout, she wrote: ‘Love my reformer sessions at @risefitnessstudios, full-body workout which I find great for toning, flexibility and posture.’ 

Coleen may struggle with some of the Bushtucker Trials as she previously told how she found it difficult to eat liver as a child.

In her autobigraphy My Account, she wrote: ‘It wasn’t extreme, just what he saw as well balanced, but we all ate the same thing on a particular day of the week – every week. Wednesdays, it was liver – which we hated.’

However, an ITV source told The Mirror: ‘Some of the things we have got lined up in this series will make liver look like McDonalds.’       

Coleen is rumoured to be earning at least £1.5million for signing up for the ITV primetime hit hosted by Ant and Dec.

The show begins in Australia next week and Coleen’s decision to go has been described as the ‘ultimate revenge’ on her rival Rebekah Vardy who was booted out early in the 2017 series.

One source close to Leicester City WAG Rebekah has claimed she now has no interest in the programme any longer – and most certainly won’t be watching.

But one expert told MailOnline that Rebekah will be ‘glued’ to ITV and watching everything Coleen says about her. Another source has said that Vardy’s legal team will also be watching like hawks.

Brand and culture expert Nick Ede believes that Rebekah would be willing to launch a new lawsuit if Coleen says ‘any nuggets that could potentially defame her’.

But while Coleen knows ITV wants her to ‘spill more beans’ about the Wagatha Christie case and their rivalry, she will have been carefully coached by her lawyers about what she can and can’t say before she enters the jungle, Mr Ede says.

‘100% Rebekah will not be happy that Coleen is going on the show’, he said.

‘She will be keeping her eyes and ears glued to the screen in case she can garner any nuggets from Coleen that could potentially defame her.’

‘Rebekah famously went in the jungle herself and for Coleen to be following in her footsteps will add insult to injury.’ 

‘Coleen is a very private person so for her to agree to this and to appear on the jungle, producers will be wanting her to spill more beans about the Wagatha Christie case.’

Mr Ede said that Coleen is going to speak out, but added: ‘She’s a very careful speaker so will be making sure she rehearses any answers to questions campmates may interrogate her on.’

‘She won’t want to face any more issues or court letters from Vardy’s camp’.
