I'm A Celeb: Alan and Coleen react to Dean's elimination
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here's Coleen Rooney has hit a major milestone in her attempt to be crowned Queen Of The Jungle and in the process has dealt a major blow to Rebekah Vardy.
Mum of four Coleen, 38, has now escaped elimination four times as Jane Moore, Dean McCullough, Tulisa and Melvin Odoom have all crossed the iconic rope bridge back to reality.
This means that Coleen has officially outperformed 42-year-old Rebekah in the competition. In 2017 she was the third star to be eliminated by the public vote.
Not only has Coleen lasted longer than her rival WAG but it looks like she may go all the way and win the show as she remains a close second in the betting just behind the favourite McFly star Danny Jones.
Danny Jones currently has odds of 11/8 with Betfred while Coleen is listed at 7/4. Coming up as third favourite is Richard Coles at 3/1.

The top three are well ahead of the other remaining campmates. Love Island's Maura Higgins is at 16/1 and Coronation Street's Alan Halsall and Loose Women's GK Barry are both at 25/1.
Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse has odds of 66/1 while retired boxer Barry McGuigan rounds off the betting at 100/1.
Speaking about Coleen's appeal Betfred’s Kayley Cornelius said: “Her down-to-earth approach has won her plenty of respect and backing from both viewers and punters."
Should Coleen find herself victorious it would be her second win over Rebekah in the space of two years.

The two women famously squared off in a libel trial that became known as Wagatha Christie due to Coleen's sleuthing. After she suspected someone was leaking stories about her private life to The Sun, she posted Instagram stories with fake news about her life and only allowed Rebekah's account access to them.
Proven correct that Rebekah had been selling her out Coleen posted her findings on social media in 2019, with her endeavours earning her the Wagatha Christie title.
As a result of Coleen's online claims, Rebekah sued Coleen for libel in 2022. However, a High Court judge ruled Coleen’s post to be "substantially true" leaving Rebekah out of pocket as she was ordered to pay 90 percent of Coleen’s legal costs.
The case spawned a stage show, a TV drama and a documentary series.
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here continues nightly at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
