Rebekah Vardy narrowly hit out at ‘smug’ Coleen Rooney with a thinly-veiled comment ahead of the anticipated I’m A Celebrity final on Sunday.
The WAG, 42, also slammed the show’s new ‘controversial’ format and claimed it’s ‘fixed’ after fans admitted the twist ‘ruined the show’.
In her latest column with The Sun on Thursday, Rebekah had a lot to say about Wednesday night’s episode.
She said: ‘A few people looked shocked to be in the final that’s for sure but someone definitely looked a bit smug and not surprised, hmm.
‘Well, looking forward to tonight’s show to see who ends up in the final.’
The remaining celebrities have been battling it out for a place in the final and a ticket to take part in the legendary Celebrity Cyclone trial.

For many years, the legendary Cyclone trial has been a goalpost many stars have tried to reach, and when this series kicked off last month, the latest edition of the challenge appeared to be no different.
However, Joel Dommett revealed that in the build-up to the Celebrity Cyclone, this year’s remaining campmates will go head-to-head for the chance to win immunity from the next two vote-offs, guaranteeing them the chance to take part in the trial.
He explained: ‘Over the next two days, the campmates will be competing for this,’ before holding up an enormous ticket that says Ticket To The Cyclone.
‘Whoever wins this will be safe from the next two vote offs and will be guaranteed a place in the trial everyone wants to do. Celebrity Cyclone!’ he added.
The move didn’t go down well with viewers, and some were quick to accuse bosses of ‘copying Big Brother’ with a twist-heavy format, after that came under fire during the most recent series of the ITV reality show.
Wading in on the controversy surrounding the new twist, the former I’m A Celeb star said: ‘I don’t agree with the way they formatted it, I think it should be the public that decides, that’s the whole part of the show.
‘Public gets to choose their winner, not how someone’s edited or set up.’
She said: ‘Stop messing with the format! The final four have always been chosen by the public and the public don’t seem to be too happy with this new twist.
She said: ‘A few people looked shocked to be in the final that’s for sure but someone definitely looked a bit smug and not surprised, hmm. Well, looking forward to tonight’s show to see who ends up in the final’

‘There is too many people now saying that this show has definitely been fixed.’
Since Coleen entered the jungle, Rebekah has made no secret of what she thinks about her nemesis, branding her ‘dull’ while also wanting her to eat a bull’s penis.
Last week, Rebekah claimed her rival Coleen was ‘getting it easy’ in the I’m A Celebrity camp, in comparison to her own stint on the ITV show.
The star shared that this year’s line up were being rewarded with luxuries far too early in the series, insisting she ‘hardly got any food’ during her first week in the camp.
She said: ‘This year’s campmates are having it so easy compared to when I did the show. We hardly got any food for the first week, let alone home comforts.
‘I do not begrudge them getting their luxuries so early because you need that in the jungle to keep you going. But ITV are sure not making them work for it. Cranky campmates make for the best TV.’
