Former I'm A Celebrity star Rebekah Vardy shared the worst part about her time in the jungle. Spilling a show secret, the 42 year old - who appeared on the ITV series in 2017 - revealed what really happens when the celebs get called for their trials - and it's never shown on TV.

Discussing the current campmates - which include her nemesis Coleen Rooney, Oti Mabuse and Danny Jones - in her column with The Sun, Rebekah admitted that it can get quite "tedious" when you're "sitting around in camp all day". She added: "One of the most tedious things for me when I was in the jungle was just waiting around because you have so much time on your hands."

Going on to explain filming behind-the-scenes, she claimed that celebs are made to retake scenes of themselves walking to their trials. She wrote: "Then, when you do get called to the trials, I always used to moan during the walking to the trial part, because they made you go backwards and forwards several times." She added: "You’re already petrified but excited at the same time, but they film your feet, and they make you talk at the same time."

Rebekah has been sharing her thoughts on this year's show, and has taken several swipes at fellow WAG Coleen, 38, following their infamous Wagatha Christie trial, in which Rebekah sued Coleen for libel after Coleen accused her of leaking private information to the press. However, the judge ruled that Coleen's claim was “substantially true” and ordered Rebekah to pay 90 per cent of her legal costs.

After Coleen headed Down Under to take part in the show, Rebekah admitted she'd relish seeing her munch on "bull's penis and humble pie". And when asked who she'd like to see tackle the next trial, Rebekah said: "Sorry it's going to have to be Coleen!"

Following the first episode, Rebekah couldn't resist commenting on Coleen's mishaps. She said: "Coleen sank in the river twice. It's the gift that keeps on giving." She also took a jab at Dean McCullough, accusing him of ingratiating himself with Coleen to remain relevant.

Rebekah, who is married to Leicester City footballer Jamie Vardy, appeared on the seventeenth season of I'm A Celeb and was the the third campmate to be voted out. She starred alongside Amir Khan, Jamie Lomas and Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo - who was crowned the Queen of the Jungle that year.
