Reality TV star Rebekah Vardy has responded to savage swipes referencing “Wagatha Christie” during last night’s (November 17) launch of I’m A Celebrity.
The 42-year-old, who is married to footballer Jamie Vardy, previously found herself in a media scandal after Coleen Rooney accused her Instagram account of leaking stories to the press after having access to her private Instagram account. The well-documented court case, which took place in 2022, was dubbed “Wagatha Christie” in the press.
The case came to a finish after Rebekah lost. However, that didn’t stop her from trademarking the phrase.
Despite the court case ending over two years ago, the “Wagatha Christie” scandal continues to be a topic of discussion, especially with Coleen taking part in this year’s I’m A Celebrity, which Rebekah was a contestant on in 2017.

I’m A Celebrity 2024
We’re only one episode into the 2024 series of I’m A Celebrity and already the “Wagatha Christie” jokes have been pouring out.
Contestant and Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough referenced the phrase during the challenge, shouting, “Wagatha Christie, you’re coming with me,” while running off with Coleen.
Hosts Ant and Dec also joined in on the banter. They remarked: “It will be nice for [Coleen] to face a trial that doesn’t involve Rebekah Vardy.”
A Wagatha Christie mention already. Oh, we’re in for a good year.
Unsurprisingly, viewers reacted to the light-hearted jokes.
“‘Wagatha Christie, you’re coming with me’ – give Dean the crown immediately,” one user wrote.
“A Wagatha Christie mention already. Oh, we’re in for a good year,” another person shared.
“Not ‘Wagatha Christie,’” a third remarked, adding numerous crying with laughter emoji.
