It has been a busy few weeks for Rebekah Vardy who has been busy taking swipes at her WAG nemesis Coleen Rooney who is taking part in this year’s I’m A Celebrity.
But she put her drama with Coleen to one side on Tuesday night as she went to support her footballer husband Jamie at his team Leicester City’s Premiere League clash against West Ham.
Rebekah, 42, was in the crowds at the King Power Stadium in Leicester as the team won 3-1 with Jamie, 37, scoring just two minutes in.
She wrapped up warm for the match in a camel coat and beanie hat and appeared in great spirits.
The match comes after Rebekah claimed Coleen could be the face of Butlins as she spoke out about her WAG rival in her latest column with The Sun, revealing her take on Coleen’s surprise admission in Monday’s show that she enjoyed caravan holidays.
Rebekah mused: ‘I think Coleen was auditioning to front Butlin’s New Year campaign, talking about her caravan holidays.

‘I know loads of people who have done this, and the kids absolutely love it.’
She also pointed out another highlight of hers from the show, when Alan dumped gunk all over Coleen in their Bushtucker trial.
‘That was hilarious!’ Rebekah shared. ‘She did not look happy at all, and neither did Alan when she missed it.’
Rebekah went on to express her shock at Tulisa becoming the third campmate voted out of the Jungle, confessing: ‘I absolutely did not see that coming. I loved her. She’s got a great personality, and I really thought she would make it to the end.’
It was no doubt poignant for Rebekah given she was the third campmate to be voted off the show during her Jungle stint in 2017.
In contrast, Coleen is currently the bookies’ favourite to win the show.
The mother-of-four has delighted viewers with her time in camp and on Monday night left her fellow campmates in awe as she admitted to falling in love with Butlins after taking her children to the Skegness holiday resort on a whim.
‘It kept coming on the TV, Butlins, Butlins, so I went and it was Diversity that was on, it was the May half term I think,’ she recalled of their unlikely visit.
Coleen, 38, revealed eldest son Kai, 14, ‘loved it’ so much that when he returned to school he told his teacher he’s been on ‘the best holiday I’ve ever been on.’

As Coronation Street star Alan Halsall shared he’d been on a caravan trip two weeks before flying to Australia, Coleen admitted to caravanning in Wales with Wayne and their children ‘a couple of times a year.’
Reflecting on caravan site entertainment, she added: ‘They used to have a band on called The Hut, you used to take all your own ale, you all used to get up and sing a song!’
Praising Coleen’s grounded nature, DJ Melvin Odoom said: ‘That girl is down to earth. I think I’m more bouji than Coleen!’
On Monday, Rebekah appeared to be softening towards arch Coleen as she claimed there are ‘no villians’ in the camp this year and everyone has been ‘too nice’.
Rebekah had used her jungle column to take several jibes at Coleen after the pair’s very public legal dispute which became known as the infamous Wagatha Christie scandal.
However, Rebekah held back with any strong opinions as she failed to pick anyone in the camp who she believes is playing a villain role.
The star explained: ‘No villains. I think that’s one of the problems with this series is there hasn’t been any really challenging characters that create a villain.’
She added: ‘They have all been way too nice.’
Since Coleen entered the jungle, Rebekah has made no secret of what she thinks about her nemesis, branding her ‘dull’ while also wanting her to eat a bull’s penis.
Last week, Rebekah claimed her rival Coleen was ‘getting it easy’ in the I’m A Celebrity camp, in comparison to her own stint on the ITV show.
The star shared that this year’s line up were being rewarded with luxuries far too early in the series, insisting she ‘hardly got any food’ during her first week in the camp.
She said: ‘This year’s campmates are having it so easy compared to when I did the show. We hardly got any food for the first week, let alone home comforts.
‘I do not begrudge them getting their luxuries so early because you need that in the jungle to keep you going. But ITV are sure not making them work for it. Cranky campmates make for the best TV.’

In her update Rebekah also shared her thoughts on Dean McCullough’s departure from the camp after he became the second celebrity to be eliminated on Sunday night.
She said: ‘Do you know what I am actually really going to miss him as he really did entertain the camp and he did make me laugh. He was funny.’
The star seemed to have changed her tune after he revealed last week she wanted Dean to be the first campmate voted out of the jungle.
However Dean revealed he wasn’t offended by her opinions, saying after his Jungle exit: ‘I love the fact she is talking about me, I am Team Coleen all the way.’
