Rebekah Vardy has predicted there could be awkward tension between two campmates, after tuning into Friday's episode of I'm A Celebrity.

The WAG, 42, has been weighing in on the show after Coleen Rooney entered the jungle last week, who she was locked in a notorious defamation trial with in 2022.

In her most recent column for The Sun, Rebekah mused: 'I sense that Maura [Higgins] is going to be a handful but I love her already. 

'I wonder how Barry will feel when he sees her again, especially after dating his son! Come on, Maura! Spill the tea!' 

When Maura and Reverend Richard Coles finally leave the Jungle Junkyard where they have been staying and join the main camp, they will get to meet all of the other celebrities. 

And the Love Island star, 33, will be reunited with boxing legend Barry McGuigan, 63, six years after dating his hunky son Shane, 36. 

It may come as a shock to Maura, after Barry was unveiled as a last minute replacement for ex footballer Ally McCoist, 62, who dropped out for a third time, according to The Mirror.

The stunner dated boxing coach Shane in 2018, a year before finding fame on Love Island, when she worked as ring girl and he was commentating on a match.

A source told The Sun at the time: 'Maura has brains and beauty and she quickly caught Shane's eye'.

'They went on a few dates and had fun, but Maura lives in Ireland, Shane is running his successful boxing gym in London, and then she was travelling for work so it wasn't easy to pull off.

'There were no hard feelings when it ended. It turned out to be short lived and the spark fizzled out.'

Shane has followed in the footsteps of his father, becoming one of boxing's most successful trainers. 

Barry and wife Sandra, share Shane as well as sons Blane, 40, and Jake 36. Their daughter Danika, an actress, tragically died from colon cancer in 2019 aged just 33.

I'm A Celebrity viewers praised Barry for opening up about his grief as he discussed his daughter's death during Monday night's episode.

Fans dubbed the 'emotional' moment the 'most moving in I'm A Celeb history' as all the campmates broke down in floods of tears while supporting Barry. 

Viewers wrote on X: 'That was one of the most moving moments in the history of I’m a celeb. Such a likeable bunch - put them all in the final!!! #ImACeleb'.

Barry revealed Danika struggled with her health from a young age, after being diagnosed with Leukaemia when she was just 11 years old.

Barry told the camp: '[Danika] had leukaemia, when I was making the boxing with Daniel Day Lewis.

'Three weeks from the end I had to leave because she'd been diagnosed with leukaemia.

'They thought she wasn't going to get better but she fought back and she won it. She had two years of chemo.'

As he began to cry campmates gathered around with Danny Jones and Tulisa offering a hug, as Barry gushed: 'Thank you, you're all so lovely, I really appreciate it.'

Later going to tell Loose Women's Jane Moore about Danika's second and final bout with cancer, he said: 'She had pains in her tummy but she was making the movie, she put it off and went to the doctor, called us all in.

'Stage 4 bowel cancer, 5 weeks, 5 weeks she died.'

Danika McGuigan, who worked as an actress, passed away surrounded by her 'devastated' family.

She had starred in films including Philomena, Mammal and Wildlife and was known as Nika McGuigan in her professional work.

Danika attended Princess Anne's old school Benenden in Kent before completing a drama degree in Dublin.

A family statement at the time read: 'It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our beautiful daughter and sister, Danika 'Nika' McGuigan,'

'After a brief but brave battle against cancer, Nika passed away peacefully in the early hours of Tuesday, July 23, surrounded by her loving family.

'As a family we are devastated and ask for complete privacy during this difficult period to allow us to grieve for our Nika.'
