Coleen Rooney’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! casting got the public talking once again about the “Wagatha Christie” court case.
On Friday’s episode of the ITV reality show favourite, viewers flocked social media to claim the “detective” had struck again after she raised accurate suspicions of “lies”.
It comes as the new arrivals to camp, Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles, were tasked with deceiving the other campmates.
The two had to pretend they were living in an empty camp and sleeping on the floor as well as going hungry, when in fact they’re living in a luxury camp.
The original campmates have even been sending some of their food to the pair, feeling guilty.
Until Friday, the celebrities certainly had the wool pulled over their eyes, but Rooney soon shared her suspicions.
After returning from delivering the food to the trio, which from Friday included Dean McCullough, the 38-year-old admitted: “I got this look and it was like they’re not telling us the truth.”
Airing her doubts, she continued: “I think there’s something not right.”
She went on to predict she and the main camp were being deceived, which soon led to her campmates putting more strange clues together.
X, formerly Twitter, was abuzz with excited fans applauding Rooney’s detective skills, with many exclaiming “Wagatha Christie strikes again”.

Rooney was given the jokey title after she accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking private information to the press.
After doing her own digging, Rooney dramatically declared online that her fellow WAG had been the culprit.
The women became the centre of a huge court case after Vardy tried to sue for libel in 2022.
However, the court dismissed Vardy’s claim on the basis that Rooney’s claims were “substantially true”.
