Now, as Coleen was confirmed to be among the cast of , Rebekah joined as the newspaper's guest columnist to share her thoughts on the reality show. The WAG, who , said they will be watching I'm a Celeb "avidly" as she added: "Everyone seems to think I have this massive problem with Coleen going into the jungle.

"But do you know what? If you want to fan the fire, the flames are going to get higher. I wasn't going to carry on talking about this, I had no intention of talking about it, but she clearly can't let it go."

Rebekah, who during her stint on I'm a Celeb was seen eating the likes of sheep anus, fermented egg, emu foot, vomit fruit and a bull's penis, said she will be calling the hotline on repeat so that Coleen will be forced to face similar battles.

She told The Sun: "If it's going to cost me any more money to see her do a trial, absolutely not. I'll only be registering to vote on the free ones, thanks very much."

In the interview, Rebekah also claimed that Coleen "always wanted" her life as she took a savage swipe at the WAG's I'm a Celebrity gig. Rebekah, who starred in I'm a Celeb back in 2017, accused of Coleen of trying to copy her, saying: "I mean, we've done a book, we've done a documentary, we're going into the jungle. What's next - ? She's following in my footsteps. I think she always wanted my life."

And she said Coleen's legal team were "dismissive" about her reality TV past - and accused her foe of "hypocrisy" as she has now joined the cast of the reality show. She 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."
