But it's been reported that Coleen has a much cheekier reason for doing the show.

Insiders have claimed Coleen sees it as a chance to take a dig at her rival, Rebekah Vardy.

Becky, who appeared on the show in 2017 and was the third to be eliminated, famously clashed with Coleen during the high-profile ‘Wagatha Christie’ saga.

A source told the : “It’s a fantastic opportunity to wind Becky up.

"Coleen has got a mischievous side to her. While she has been dignified with how she dealt with being dragged through a court by Becky, it is bound to come up and Coleen has always been honest about the situation."

Rebekah unsuccessfully sued her former pal for libel after Coleen told her social media followers she had turned detective to uncover the source of leaked stories about her.

Coleen memorably sparked a media frenzy by ending her bombshell post: “It’s . . . Rebekah Vardy’s account.”

Rebekah denied being responsible amid a furious backlash and sought legal action.

She was later ordered to pay 90 per cent of Coleen’s legal bill, which had risen to £1.8million from a reportedly agreed £540,000.

Coleen will be joined in the jungle this year by stars including Tulisa, Danny Jones and Oti Mabuse.
