Rebekah Vardy 'to sue' Coleen Rooney if she says Wagatha Christie on I'm A Celebrity

Rebekah Vardy is said to be 'fuming' that her rival Coleen Rooney is set to appear on the next series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and will sue if she uses the term Wagatha Christie

Rebekah Vardy has issued a warning to Coleen Rooney regarding the use of the term 'Wagatha Christie' on the upcoming series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Amidst rumours that Coleen is set to join the jungle show after reportedly securing a £1.5million deal, Rebekah, who owns the trademark to the phrase 'Wagatha Christie', has made it clear she will take legal action if anyone, including hosts Ant and Dec, uses the moniker.

The Sun has quoted an insider: "Becky was absolutely agog to hear Coleen was doing I'm A Celeb and fears a whole new round of allegations about their Wag war. What's more, she knows Ant and Dec will make her the brunt of their jokes and be desperate to jump on the Wagatha Christie phrase. A very close eye will be kept on everything ITV air."

Rebekah herself took part in the show back in 2017. Meanwhile, Coleen, aged 38 and mother of four, who is married to footballer Wayne Rooney, is currently in high demand after triumphing in both court cases against Rebekah Vardy. Rebekah had taken Coleen to court for libel when Coleen accused her of leaking stories from her private social media account to the press.

Rebekah Vardy suffered a loss in her 2022 court case when the judge determined there was ample evidence to support Coleen Rooney's accusations. In more recent developments, Rebekah has pointed fingers at Coleen for allegedly deceiving her legal team regarding court expenses, but faced defeat in that courtroom encounter as well, reports the Mirror.

In spite of an upcoming documentary about their legal skirmish, expectations are high that Coleen will spill some exclusive titbits during her jungle stint. A source divulged to The Sun on Sunday: "I'm A Celeb bosses have pulled off a huge coup ­getting Coleen for the jungle this year and the team are thrilled to have her on board. She's always been a massive fan of the show and loves watching it with her boys. ITV are over the moon that the stars have aligned this year and she can fit it in. The series is set to be one of the best yet."

They also noted: "Coleen has a huge fanbase and she won massive plaudits for her classy handling of the Wagatha Christie case."
