The full lineup for this year’s series is yet to be confirmed, but Coleen Rooney reportedly will participate in this year’s edition I’m a celebrity after landing the largest deal in the program’s history.
WAG, 38, is believed to have collected fees that surpass the staggering £1.5million paid by Nigel Farage last year.
There are hopes Coleen will recount her epic fight with Rebekah Vardy.
It is also believed that she will get the ‘ultimate revenge’ as Rebekah was ousted earlier in the 2017 series.
This week Rebekah was ordered to pay Coleen a further £100,000 after losing her battle over legal costs in the so-called Wagatha Christie case.

The full line-up for this year’s series is yet to be confirmed, but Coleen Rooney will reportedly take part in this year’s I’m A Celebrity after landing the biggest contract in the show’s history.
According The sun on Sunday, Coleen is expected to travel in November to take part in the show of which her four children are said to be big fans.
A source said: “I’m A Celeb bosses have taken a big step in landing Coleen for the jungle this year and the team are delighted to have her on board.”
‘She has always been a big fan of the show and loves watching it with her children. ITV is delighted that the stars have aligned this year and she can fit in. The series will be one of the best yet.
“Coleen has a huge fan base and has earned huge plaudits for her elegant handling of the Wagatha Christie case.”
The couple became the center of a major storm in 2019 when Coleen accused Rebekah of leaking stories about her to the press.
Rebekah then sued Coleen for defamation over the claim, but it was Coleen who prevailed when a judge declared in 2022 that her claim was “substantially true.”
Rebekah was subsequently instructed to pay 90 per cent of Coleen, 38,’s fees, with an initial payment of £800,000, but has been contesting the claimed costs of £1.8million.
At the end of the latest hearing, which began on Monday, Costs Judge Andrew Gordon-Saker has told Rebekah to pay an additional £100,000 within 21 days.
He said: “I think there is scope for an additional payment on account so that the defendant (Ms Rooney) is not exempt from her costs, and I think it should not be more than £100,000.”
The hearing, which was not attended by any of the women, addressed a number of preliminary issues before a full “line by line” assessment of costs takes place at a later date, which will decide the total amount of money to be paid.
Judge Gordon-Saker said this could take place in early 2025, but added: “The parties must get on with this and put it behind them.”
He said: “Realistically, (the line-by-line assessment) will probably be next year, hopefully early next year.”
In terms of the line-up for this year’s camp, TikTok star GK Barry is said to be in “advanced talks” with ITV bosses for a role, while football legend Ally McCoist is also rumored to be , 62, is entering the jungle.
Boxer Tommy Fury could also be heading to Australia amid his split from Molly Mae Hague.
Jane Moore is set to head to Australia for the show, following in the footsteps of her Loose Women co-stars, former Jungle Queen, Stacey Solomon, Charlene White and Olivia Attwood.
Just a few days ago, MailOnline revealed that Loose Women legend Jane Moore is in “advanced talks” to head to Australia.
The journalist takes on the challenge following her high-profile separation from her husband of 20 years, showbiz agent Gary Farrow.
The journalist and Gary raised their daughters Ellie and Grace together, whom they have from a previous relationship. She is also stepmother to her oldest daughter, Lauren.
A source revealed to MailOnline that Jane is at a point in her life where she wants to conquer new tasks and continuing with I’m A Celeb will push her to the limit.
