Rebekah Vardy has taken aim at I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly in her latest column.
The WAG was pictured back in the UK on Monday after landing back in the UK following her sunny trip to Dubai last week, amid her reignited bitter feud with fellow WAG Coleen Rooney.
In her I’m A Celebrity piece for The Sun, Rebekah once again offered her thoughts on this year’s jungle lineup, where she praised boxer Barry McGuigan for candidly discussing his grief following his daughter Danika’s death.
She wrote: ‘I can’t imagine the pain that he and his family must have gone through and it really puts life into perspective and everything else is completely insignificant.’
In what then appeared to be a nod to I’m A Celeb’s famous hosts, she then added: ‘This tender moment would have definitely touched everyone who watched it. What a hero, unlike two small-minded men.’

The WAG once again offered her thoughts on this year’s jungle lineup, and was quick to brand them ‘two small-minded men’
It comes as Rebekah was pictured back in the UK after her relaxing getaway to Dubai, as Coleen’s appearance on I’m A Celebrity rumbled on.
The wife of footballer Jamie Vardy stepped out in black gym gear in Leicester and appeared to be in great spirits despite her ongoing row.
Keen to not miss a minute of Coleen on I’m A Celebrity she is now back on UK soil and will no doubt to be tuning in every night to see her former pal on the show.
Rebekah has made a series of digs at her rival since it was announced she’d be jetting to Australia to appear on the ITV show, and even took aim at the digs over her Wagatha Christie legal row.
In her first I’m A Celebrity column on Monday, Rebekah was quick to brand Coleen ‘the gift that keeps on giving’ after her canoe capsized during the celebrities’ race to the camp.
She also ended her piece with the words: ‘P.S. Did I mention Coleen sank her boat twice? Oh, dear.’
She was also quick to slam five other campmates who have headed into the jungle, writing: ‘Oh my God. Dean [McCullough, a radio presenter] exhausted me. He was like this little kid on Christmas Day. I think he may find himself up for a lot of the challenges and trials, but who knows?
‘IBS might be the least of his worries if he’s up for a lot of the trials, so yeah, we’ll have to watch and see.

‘GK Barry [social media influencer] – oh, my God, she’s so down to earth, but my God, doesn’t she scream a lot?’
It comes after Rebekah furiously hit back after her Wagatha Christie row was mocked on the ITV show, with hosts Ant and Dec even getting in a cheeky dig at the legal battle.
She insisted she wasn’t bothered by the remarks as she shared a throwback bikini snap from her own Jungle stint in 2017 that she captioned: ‘That feeling when you are living rent free in people’s heads [laughing emojis]’.
Alongside her Stories post, Rebekah went onto share a pointed video of Donald Trump talking about facing ‘hate’.
In the video, the President-elect said: ‘Let them doubt you, let them criticise you because the more they throw at you the stronger you become. The path to success is never without resistance and hate. Hate is just a part of that journey.’

Hosts Ant and Dec teased during the show opening: ‘It’ll be nice for Coleen to face a trial that doesn’t involve Rebekah Vardy’ and promised to keep the Wagatha Christie jokes coming
The clip continued: ‘Understand this, no one who ever achieved anything great did it without facing opposition. Hate comes from a place of fear, insecurity and jealousy.
‘People hate because your ambition, your drive makes them uncomfortable. Your desire to push past limits threatens the comfort they built around mediocrity.
‘So what should you do? Let them hate. Let their word be nothing more than background noise. You weren’t put here to see their approval. You’re not living your life to make them feel comfortable.
‘You’re here to follow your purpose, to chase your dreams and to live life on your own terms, you’re beautiful.’
Rebekah had taken to Instagram earlier in the day to share a video of herself on holiday in Dubai – where she’s been whisked away by husband Jamie.
In the clip, she sauntered towards a mirror clad in a figure-hugging black dress and wrote in the caption: ‘I get to decide my boundaries, but you certainly don’t get to decide my limits.’
Rebekah has been accused of appearing to troll her Wagatha Christie nemesis Coleen with content she has been sharing from her holiday.
She previously shared a photo of snails she was eating in a posh restaurant – ahead of Sunday’s I’m A Celeb… launch – her own version of a Bushtucker trial.
Yet in return, the star has been trolled by Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, who teased in the I’m A Celeb launch show: ‘It’ll be nice for Coleen to face a trial that doesn’t involve Rebekah Vardy’.
Ant then promised: ‘There will be plenty more [of these jokes]!’ as fans rushed to social media branding the pair ‘legends’.
They were true to their words and later, when revealing the campmates were getting to know to each other and delving into their personal lives, said: ‘First up it’s the account of… Coleen Rooney’ – in reference to her viral social media post where she accused Rebekah of leaking ‘false stories’ about her private life to the press.
Rebekah has propositioned ITV with the idea of getting her latest series so she can confront her rival.
She headed Down Under herself back in 2017, yet is willing to face the critters again and arrive as a surprise late entry if it means she gets to hatch her ‘revenge plot’ against her rival.
Teasing an epic reunion between the pair, Rebekah told The Sun: ‘If people really want us to meet up before that, then ITV should get me in that jungle as a special guest. What are they scared of? Confrontation? But isn’t that what the show’s all about? It’s about viewing figures.’
Continuing to hit back at Coleen, she added: ‘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.’
While Rebekah admitted she will watch Coleen on the show, she believes the wife of Wayne Rooney will have a game plan going in as she described her as ‘quite calculated’.
It is believed Rebekah’s team of lawyers will be on high alert and ready to take action if her arch-enemy says anything derogatory about her on air.
Meanwhile, Rebekah was unveiled as The Sun’s I’m A Celeb columnist on Friday as she joked she hopes Coleen is forced to ‘eat penis or humble pie’ in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.

Rebekah blasted Coleen in a furious rant, admitting she is looking forward to watching Coleen chomp down on some ‘jungle nasties’.
A-listers have previously been forced to eat things like kangaroo testicles, camel toes, grubs, and mouse tails on previous seasons of the grueling competition.
When asked if there is anything particular she would like to watch Coleen eat, she said: ‘Yeah, penis. Or humble pie.
Then when asked if a camel testicle would be the worst thing Wayne Rooney‘s wife Coleen has ever had in her mouth, Rebekah said: ‘I don’t know. You have to look at her husband for that one.’
