Rebekah Vardy shares brutal dig after I'm A Celeb star made 'Wagatha Christie' joke
While we all pile on the memes and jokes as I’m A Celeb returns, there’s one place online posting something more subtle... and it's Rebekah Vardy’s account.
Having appeared on the show herself back in 2017, Vardy has shared a simple response after one of the stars made a ‘Wagatha Christie’ joke.
This, of course, comes as her rival WAG, Coleen Rooney, is part of this year’s line-up roughing it in the Australian jungle on ITV.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock from both British pop culture and court news these past few years, you’ll know the pair don’t exactly have the best rapport.
And it led to Rooney being branded as our very own ‘Wagatha’ for her iconic ‘detective’ skills.
So, as she appeared on I’m A Celeb last night (17 November), it felt like only a matter of time until someone made a joke about it. Welcome Dean McCullough.
During the mega opening trial, the BBC Radio 1 DJ was left with a choice between Rooney and his colleague, Melvin Odoom. In a bit of a BBC betrayal, he apologised to his fellow presenter because he couldn’t ignore the choice before him.
“WAGATHA CHRISTIE YOU'RE COMING WITH MEEEEEEE!" he shouted as he ran away, holding hands with the 38-year-old.
Rooney did give a bit of a shake of the head as she joined her new campmate who hadn’t even given much of a ‘hello Coleen’ before launching straight into the nickname.
Ant and Dec even got involved with a few jokes (of course), including: “It’ll be nice for Coleen to face a trial that doesn’t involve Rebekah Vardy."
Let’s be honest though, plenty of us were expecting some level of references to her rivalry and Vardy has jumped straight on it.
The 42-year-old shared a snap from her own stint in the jungle, bathing in her bikini.
She wrote alongside it: “That feeling when you are living rent free in people's heads [laughing emojis].”
Vardy then followed this up with a video of Donald Trump talking about facing hate as the President-elect said: “That feeling when you are living rent free in people's heads [laughing emojis].”
The WAG has been named as The Sun’s I’m A Celeb columnist for the season, so it’s fair to say this probably isn’t the last time she’ll be making some digs at the stars.
Vardy has already said she wants to see Rooney eat ‘penis or humble pie’ on the show.
