On tonight's episode of I'm A Celebrity...



Get Me Out Of Here!, the 38-year-old WAG shared her feelings about the sting operation that earned her the nickname, confessing it was "draining." The feud began when Coleen revealed she had planted fake stories on her private Instagram account to identify who was leaking information about her to the press. In October 2019, she took to Twitter to announce that Rebekah's account was behind the leaks.

During a chat at the creek with Dean McCullough and Jane Moore, influencer GK Barry asked Coleen if she felt scared when she posted the tweet. Backing her decision, Coleen replied: "No because I just didn’t think it would have the impact it did, because I was just that sick and tired of it, it was draining." The post led to a libel case, Vardy V Rooney, which was widely covered by the press.

She continued, revealing the worst part of the dispute: “That was my worst nightmare, to go to court. "I felt like it was like putting on a show for the whole world." Ahead of entering the jungle, Coleen expressed that she wants to move on from the trial and share the real "Coleen from Liverpool" with viewers.

Speaking to The Mirror, she said: "That's a place that I've been, I've dealt with it. In my life now, I'm just moving forward and not looking back." "That's something I've done my whole life, dealt with things, moved forward at the time and got on.

There are more important things to think about with the family and kids. "I think I'd rather just be known as Coleen from Liverpool. Not from any other type of place.

"It's just me, as I always have been. So hopefully people just think she's that Scouser that she's always been." I'm A Celebrity.
