It’s not unexpected that among the well-known contestants of this year’s I’m A Celebrity, Coleen, known as one of the UK’s most recognizable WAGs, is also one of the wealthiest.

The mother of four, who was previously married to England’s ex-star Wayne, is said to be earning a record-breaking £1.5 million salary, making her the highest-paid celebrity on the show thus far.

Together, Colleen and Wayne amass a staggering £200 million fortune, with Colleen accounting for approximately £19 million of that total.

A woman from Liverpool who is married to a famous football player has not only been associated with sports but has also built a significant career in television since 2006. In the year 2008, she even had her own TV show titled “Coleen’s Real Women.

Besides creating a highly successful workout video that made it onto the bestseller list, Colleen has also been compensated £3 million for modeling in a clothing campaign for George at Asda. Furthermore, she has authored multiple books, among them her autobiography titled “Welcome to My World,” which was published in 2007.

After Rebekah Vardy’s Wagatha Christie libel trial in 2022, it was disclosed that she would be responsible for approximately 90% of Colleen’s legal fees, estimated at around £1.5 million.

2019 saw Coleen openly accusing Rebekah of sharing confidential data from her personal Instagram account with the press, an allegation Rebekah disputed. Eventually, Coleen took legal action for slander.

Following a widely discussed court case, the judge ruled in favor of Coleen, requiring Rebekah to cover a significant portion of the legal expenses.
