Rebekah Vardy has NO CHANCE of winning I’m A Celebrity, says so-called friend

We’ve enjoyed seeing Rebekah Vardy compete on this year’s I’m A Celebrity, but it seems that some people haven’t warmed to the WAG.

The 35-year-old has been the subject of some unkind tweets since she arrived in the jungle (mind you, haven’t they all?), with a number of viewers suggesting she has a miserable resting face.

And Rebekah’s good friend, former glamour model Nicola McLean, reckons that being crowned champion of the ITV show could be out of the mum-of-two’s reach.

Nicola, 36, appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2008, and went on today’s This Morning to discuss the current series.

Speaking to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, she said of Rebekah: “You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

“If Becky was in there going: ‘Oh, I’m terrified!’, people would be like: ‘Oh, she’s just a WAG who’s rich and doesn’t need to do this.’

“No, she’s in there to win the trials. To do it. She’s been so fantastic and people are going: ‘She’s hard-faced, she’s this, she’s that.’

“She cannot win. She can’t. I said that to her at the beginning: ‘You won’t be the jungle queen because you’re not the calibre to win it.’

“I don’t think Becky will win because I think women want to hate women like Becky.”

Earlier this year, Rebekah – who’s married to footballer Jamie Vardy, 30 – revealed her struggle at having to deal with online abuse.

Appearing on Frankie Bridge’s documentary Celebrity Trolls: We’re Coming To Get You, she spoke of her devastation after a picture of her two-year-old daughter was targeted by trolls.

Said Rebekah: “She was in Jamie’s football kit and I put a picture of her on social media. Someone responded saying that she deserved to be raped. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything so disgusting.

“I was distraught. We got the police involved straightaway.”
