Coleen Rooney reportedly believes Rebekah Vardy is only taking part in Dancing on Ice 2021 in an attempt to win over the British public.
Coleen, 34, is about to go head-to-head with Jamie Vardy’s wife in a libel court case after she accused the brunette’s Instagram account of selling stories about her to the press.
Mum-of-four Coleen publicly called out Rebekah’s account after claiming she was the only person who had access to her Instagram story on her private account.
Rebekah denied the allegations and is keen to clear her name, but Coleen is reportedly “not having it”.
The Sun on Sunday reported that Coleen joked: “She’ll need all the money she can get to take me on.”

A source allegedly told the publication: “They’re both digging in for the long haul. Neither one is prepared to back down.
“Becky’s decision to do Dancing on Ice is understandable from her point of view.
“She sees it as an opportunity to prove to people that she’s not who they think she is.”

The insider continued: “She wants them to see her not as a snake or a grass as she’s been labelled, but a devoted mum and wife. Coleen’s not having it though.
“As far as she is concerned Becky is using it to get the public on her side ahead of their libel trial.
“Coleen is absolutely certain she is right and is standing true to her beliefs.

“She knows she might lose and have to pay damages but she doesn’t care.
“This isn’t about money to her — it’s about principle and honesty and she will shell out however much it takes,” they added.
Daily Star Online has contacted Rebekah and Coleen’s reps for comment.
The news comes after Coleen’s legal team produced a 55-page document to London’s High Court on Friday in response to Rebekah’s legal action.
Coleen had reportedly been trying to seek a solution to their dispute since April, but Rebekah is said to have wanted an official apology.
Coleen’s defence argues she has “reasonable grounds” to suspect Becky of leaks.
Her lawyer, Paul Lunt, said she “repeatedly offered” to meet Becky “to resolve their differences” but Becky and her lawyers had “preferred instead to pursue these issues in court”.
