Rebekah Vardy has instructed her lawyers to be primed and ready to pounce on Coleen Rooney as she prepares to re-ignite their bitter feud.
Rebekah has asked her legal team to keep an eye on the wife of Wayne Rooney, 38, after she signed up for I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here.
The media personality is understood to have secured a fee that exceeds Nigel Farage’s £1.5million from last year.
And while fans hope that Coleen will spill the beans on her epic fallout with Rebekah when she appears on the reality show, the WAG is not taking any chances according to The Sun.
Rebekah is on high alert and is also keen to remind ITV bosses and the show’s hosts, Ant and Dec that she owns the trademark to the phrase Wagatha Christie.

Coleen is also thought to be getting the ‘ultimate revenge’ by signing up, with Rebekah booted out early in the 2017 series (pictured)
A source told the publication: ‘Becky was absolutely agog to hear Coleen was doing I’m A Celeb and fears a whole new round of allegations about their Wag war.
‘What’s more, she knows Ant and Dec will make her the brunt of their jokes and be desperate to jump on the Wagatha Christie phrase.
‘A very close eye will be kept on everything ITV air.’
And to make sure that nothing goes wrong, the star has instructed her lawyers to keep a close eye on Coleen’s time on the show.
Coleen is also thought to be getting the ‘ultimate revenge’ by signing up, with Rebekah booted out early in the 2017 series.
This comes as Coleen inflicted another court defeat on the wife of footballer Jamie Vardy as a judge ruled the £1.8million legal bill she landed on her arch enemy had been legitimately incurred.
Barristers for the pair returned to the High Court last week in a dispute over how much Rebekah should pay in legal costs after she lost their Wagatha Christie libel battle in 2022.
Rebekah’s lawyers argued that the opposing legal team’s estimate of their costs for expenses including a luxury hotel and a hotly disputed minibar tab was deliberately misleading and that this warranted a reduction in the amount she had to pay.

But Robin Dunne, for Coleen, said that ‘there has been no misconduct’ and that it was ‘illogical to say that we misled anyone’.
Coleen’s legal team denied claims their spending on the case was ‘extravagant’, and attacked reports surrounding one of her lawyers staying at the Nobu Hotel, an A-list celebrity favourite.
They told the High Court that the hotel stay had been falsely painted as a decadent ‘scene from Caligula’, but was secured for around the price of a room at a Premier Inn.
In a ruling last week, Senior Costs Judge Andrew Gordon-Saker found ‘on balance and, I have to say, only just’, that Mrs Rooney’s legal team had not committed wrongdoing, and therefore it was ‘not appropriate’ to reduce her legal bill.
