As Coleen Rooney prepares herself for her I’m A Celebrity debut, there could be trouble brewing for her, as arch enemy Rebekah Vardy teams up with jilted WAG Lauryn Goodman
Just as Coleen Rooney heads to the I’m A Celeb jungle, rival Rebekah Vardy has reportedly teamed up with jilted WAG Lauryn Goodman to form an allegiance.
Rebekah and Coleen’s ongoing spat and legal battle has been well documented, starting with the unforgettable Wagatha Christie expose in 2022. The case, brought by Rebekah, was eventually found in favour of Coleen, leaving the Vardys a staggering £1.8m out of pocket.
But now Vardy has formed an unlikely partnership with fellow ‘Wag’ Lauryn Goodman, ex-mistress of footballer Kyle Walker. It comes after Kyle Walker’s wife, and mother-of-his three sons, Annie Kilner was caught out after sending fiery texts to a former friend.
Not one to keep a secret, it turns out the leaked texts were sent to none other than Becky Vardy, it was claimed to the Mirror by a source. She went on to fall out with Annie and has since switched sides, reportedly reaching out to Lauryn when the texts, which consisted of comments from Annie including “I want her dead”, were leaked.
In the rants, Annie said that Lauryn would “be hated by the time I’ve finished”. But now Rebekah has formed a bond with Annie’s love rival, sources suggest that there will be “a new war” on the horizon, with both Coleen and Annie left feeling “on edge”.
An insider close to the WAG said: “After a few months of relative calm, Becky seems to be igniting a new war. Alarm bells are ringing, especially now she’s grown so close to Lauryn – it’s a dangerous combo. Coleen and Annie are anxiously looking over their shoulders, wondering what those two are plotting and what more will be coming their way. Annie’s texts about Lauryn were leaked just before Becky’s new court case against Coleen, which seems no coincidence in terms of timing. It’s left both Coleen and Annie feeling very on edge,” the source told Heat.
Although Rebekah seems to have no part in their feud, which saw Lauryn have two children with Annie’s husband, she did strike up a friendship with her when she took the kids to see their dad play in the Euros.
Back in July, a source close to Rebekah told Closer: “She’s really bonded with Lauryn over the last few weeks. It started with Becky just reaching out to offer Lauryn support during the Euros. But it’s progressed massively into almost daily calls, and they are now planning on meeting up when Becky gets back from her holidays to cement their friendship.
“Lauryn really appreciates Becky’s support and she’s someone she has grown to like, admire and respect.” They added that Becky is “in her corner” to help her in the “toxic” world of WAGs.
As Coleen landed in Brisbane to head to the I’m A Celeb camp, Rebekah jetted off on a luxury £10,000 a night holiday in Dubai with footballer partner Jamie Vardy. The 42-year-old is reported to have thought it was “hilarious” that she will be living it up while Coleen is completing Bushtucker Trials on the ITV show.
