In the ever-dramatic world of reality television and celebrity antics, Rebekah Vardy finds herself under the spotlight yet again—all thanks to her controversial comments regarding the ongoing season of “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” Her vitriolic commentary, which notably targets her long-time rival, Coleen Rooney, has drawn sharp criticisms from none other than her ex-husband, Steve Clarke.
Steve, who shared a brief yet tumultuous marriage with Vardy before their split in 2005, recently expressed his disapproval of her outbursts. Speaking candidly to Mail Online, Clarke dismissed her recent tirades as “pathetic,” a mere reflection of her jealousy towards Coleen. “It’s quite pathetic what she is doing,” he remarked, punctuating his sentiment with a touch of fervor. “I can guarantee you 100 million percent she just wants to keep her name on everyone’s lips.”
He contended that while Coleen radiates warmth and positivity—attributes that have won over audiences—Vardy exudes a demeanor that has even been mocked during her own tenure on the show. “When she was in the jungle, all they talked about was her ‘resting b*** face,’” he elaborated, clearly taking sides in this increasingly public feud. “People simply prefer Coleen and have no sympathy left for Rebekah.”
Vardy, whose journey on the reality show in 2017 was cut short as the third celebrity to be voted off, has not held back during her rival’s current stint. In a scathing column for The Sun, she unleashed her fury upon BBC Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough, whom she accused of cozying up to Coleen. “Oh Dean, Dean and his glib chat with Coleen,” she fumed from her digital soapbox. “I’m actually really glad he got voted into the trial because, honestly, I find him utterly irritating. Just stop already!”
Her animosity doesn’t end there; she went so far as to wish for Coleen to “eat humble pie” in the jungle, making her feelings crystal clear. In a moment of delight, she even referred to Coleen as “the gift that keeps on giving” following a mishap where Coleen’s canoe capsized during a race to the camp.
As the reality show reaches its climax, Coleen will be competing alongside the likes of McFly’s Danny Jones and the illustrious vicar-turned-broadcaster Richard Coles in the highly anticipated final round. Although she has been trailing behind Danny in betting odds, the distance is shrinking—will she manage to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat tonight?
The victor of this dramatic contest will surely seek to follow in the illustrious footsteps of last year’s “King of the Jungle,” Sam Thompson. As the curtain prepares to fall on this season of high-stakes entertainment, the narrative of rivalry and redemption continues to unfold, leaving audiences eagerly awaiting the outcome.
