Coleen Rooney is a huge hypocrite – she banged on about privacy then goes on I’m A Celebrity, blasts Rebekah Vardy

REBEKAH Vardy has branded Coleen Rooney's decision to do I'm A Celebrity "hypocrisy at its finest" after their legal war.

Coleen is the highest paid star in the show's history, taking home £1.5million for her stint in the jungle.

But just two years ago, her legal team tore into Becky over her reality TV past during the High Court libel row, making her decision to sign up all the more surprising.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Becky said: “Coleen’s legal team were very dismissive about my reality TV past. They mocked it.

“So for her to be doing the jungle now, it’s hypocrisy at its finest, isn’t it? I think there was always a plan for reinvention. She stayed out of the public eye for so long.

“There were so many stories, negative stories, about Wayne. And I think she wanted to turn things around for herself.

"We’ve gone from a person about whom her legal team stood up in court and said, ‘She’s such a private individual’, and now this so-called private individual is going on one of the biggest reality TV shows in the UK. I mean, it’s ironic really.”

Five years ago, Coleen posted a long rant on social media accusing Becky of leaking stories to The Sun — something Becky always denied.

The resulting “Wagatha Christie” defamation case — brought by Becky — lasted for two-and-a-half months, with a judge deciding Coleen’s defence was “substantially true”.

Three years on, Becky remains defiant and says: “After the court gave the judgement, I put out a statement that the judge got it wrong — and I stand by that. The judge did get it wrong, and I didn’t do what Coleen accused me of.”

Becky insists there are no “hard feelings”, but it is clear she is still utterly fuming about the whole episode. Or, more precisely, the aftermath — which saw her horrifically trolled while seven months pregnant, and led to her having cognitive behavioural therapy.

For her part, Coleen recently spoke out about the extreme toll the case took on her mentally. She even claimed her reactive arthritis has been triggered by it.
