Rebekah Vardy has revealed her ‘winner’ after it emerged that Coleen Rooney is a frontrunner to be crowned the champion of I’m A Celebrity.

Earlier this month, the 42-year-old reignited her feud with Coleen, 38, after their infamous Wagatha Christie defamation trial two years ago.

She could not resist taking a series of swipes about Coleen’s stint in the jungle revealing she was hoping to see her chomp on ‘a penis or humble pie’ and claimed the star ‘likes to be the victim.’

However, the public does not seem to hold the same opinion of Coleen as Rebekah as the ITV star is now one of the favourites to be crowned Queen of the Jungle, and is in the final tonight.

Leading bookmakers Gambling.com are tipping her for second place, with odds of 12/5, just after McFly star Danny Jones at 8/15.

Reverend Richard Coles is also in the final, and stands at odds of 12/1 to win, after the Celebrity Cyclone episode saw Oti Mabuse eliminated on Saturday night.

Rebekah has now said: ‘A lot of people are saying Danny, while others say the Reverend deserves to win. And do you know what? I guess he probably does. It would be amazing for his career.

‘Danny has an amazing fan base behind him. He’s had success in his own right. Coleen, again, has had success in her own right as well. She’s well known.’

She continued in her column in The Sun: ‘So, I would say the Reverend probably deserves to win out of everyone, but I think Danny might just pip him.

‘But tonight, we will see. I think it’s going to be really, really close. Good luck to them!’

Rebekah went on to brand Oti her ‘winner’ due to her ‘positive energy’.

She said: ‘As for Oti, it’s such a shame she didn’t make it to the final three. I really do think she deserved it. She was definitely my winner, and she should be really proud of herself.

‘What a jungle journey she’s had. She has such positive energy and is constantly giving good vibes; she was camp mum and always knew what to say to lift other people’s spirits.’

She went on to praise Oti’s ‘infectious’ energy, calling her ‘amazing’.

The I’m A Celebrity predictions came after Rebekah previously told Closer Magazine that she was on a ‘stress diet’.

‘It’s all been too much with everything going on at the moment.’

Rebekah has also had a recent run-in by former I’m A Celeb campmate, stand-up comedian turned broadcaster Iain Lee. He appeared on the show alongside the Wag in 2017.

Iain said he suffered a mental breakdown following his time on the series, in which he claimed Rebekah made him ‘miserable’.

‘There are some people who love the notoriety of being outrageous and obnoxious because it keeps them in the spotlight. I think Rebekah Vardy is one of them,’ he told MailOnline.

However, Rebekah vehemently denied the claims on Instagram, saying: ‘‘Na I’m done with this bulls***. I’ve let this slide too many times now! 2017, 2022 but f*** this I’ve got receipts this man keeps constantly coming for me.’

She later said: ‘Wish this man would just leave me alone! There is only one bully here and it’s not me.’

Rebekah also shared messages between the pair, including WhatsApp messages from 2017 In one of them Iain had sent: ‘I said constantly I had respect for you and your story and what you’d been through.’

She wrote: ‘I have no bad feelings towards you at all. I’m really sad it’s been portrayed the way it has. It’s hurt me. 

‘You’ve been through an incredible deal in life.’

He replied: ‘I know it has. I’m upset like I say by what was said behind my back those few times but I don’t class it as bullying. And I have no had feelings towards you. You’re pretty amazing.’ 

While Rebekah was eliminated from the show third, Iain made it through to the end and was eventually named in third place.
