A full tank will be the least of Coleen Rooney’s worries when she competes in the forthcoming series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!Weeks before landing the biggest deal in the show’s history, the 38-year old mother-of-four was in more familiar surroundings as she pulled into a Cheshire service station. She looked calm and content on the outing, nipping into the M&S garage to pick up a few essentials after filling up her Mercedes. She was casually clad for the outing in a black tracksuit and mules.  The outing comes amid hopes Coleen will spill the beans on her epic fallout with Rebekah Vardy when she appears on the reality show.  Coleen Rooney steps out to fill her car in Cheshire, but a full tank will be the least of her worries when she competes in the forthcoming series of I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!  Weeks before landing the biggest deal in the show’s history , the 38-year old mother-of-four was in more familiar surroundings as she pulled into a local service station Coleen is also thought to be getting the ‘ultimate revenge’ by signing up, with Rebekah booted out early in the 2017 series.In another blow, it’s said to be a mega payday for Coleen who has reportedly secured a fee that exceeds Nigel Farage’s £1.5million from last year. It comes as Rebekah was this week ordered to pay Coleen another £100,000 after losing their legal costs battle in the so-called Wagatha Christie case. According to The Sun on Sunday, Coleen is expected to fly out in November to take part in the show which her four boys are said to be huge fans ofA source said: ‘I’m A Celeb bosses have pulled off a huge coup ­getting Coleen for the jungle this year and the team are thrilled to have her on board. ‘She’s always been a massive fan of the show and loves watching it with her boys. ITV are over the moon that the stars have aligned this year and she can fit it in. The series is set to be one of the best yet.’Coleen has a huge fanbase and she won massive plaudits for her classy handling of the Wagatha Christie case.’The pair became the centre of a huge storm back in 2019 when Coleen accused Rebekah of leaking stories about her to the press.  She looked calm and content on the outing, nipping into the M&S garage to pick up a few essentials after filling up her Mercedes She was casually clad for the outing in a black tracksuit and mulesRebekah then went on to sue Coleen for libel over the claim, but it was Coleen who triumphed with a judge declaring in 2022 that her claim was ‘substantially true’.Rebekah was later instructed to pay 90 per cent of 38-year-old Coleen’s fees, with an initial payment of £800,000, but has been challenging the claimed £1.8million costs.At the end of the latest hearing, which began on Monday, senior costs judge Andrew Gordon-Saker has now told Rebekah to pay an extra £100,000 within 21 days.He said: ‘I think there is some scope for a further payment on account so the defendant (Mrs Rooney) is not kept out of her costs, and I think that should be no more than £100,000.’The hearing, which neither woman attended, dealt with several preliminary issues before a full ‘line-by-line’ assessment of costs takes place at a later date, which will decide the overall amount of money to be paid. Rebekah Vardy pictured on the 2017 series of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here  Hosts Ant and Dec on series 23 of the hit reality show last year Judge Gordon-Saker said this could take place in early 2025, but added: ‘The parties need to get on with this and put it behind them.’He said: ‘Realistically, it (the line-by-line assessment) is probably going to be next year, hopefully early next year.’In 2019, Coleen publicly claimed Mrs Vardy’s account was the source behind three stories in the Sun newspaper featuring fake details she had posted on her private Instagram profile.These covered her travelling to Mexico for a ‘gender selection’ procedure, plans to return to TV and the basement flooding at her home.After the high-profile trial, Mrs Justice Steyn ruled in Coleen’s favour in July 2022, finding the post was ‘substantially true’.The judge said that it was ‘likely’ that Rebekah’s agent Caroline Watt had passed information to the newspaper. and that the Leicester star’s wife ‘knew of and condoned this behaviour’.At the latest hearing, Rebekah’s representative Jamie Carpenter KC said in written submissions that Coleen’s claimed legal bill ran to £1,833,906.89, which was more than three times her ‘agreed costs budget of £540,779.07′. Wayne and Coleen Rooney, pictured leaving the Royal Courts of Justice in London in May 2022, have been given another boost by this week’s High Court ruling Rebekah Vardy, pictured with husband Jamie outside the Royal Courts of Justice in May 2022, was accused of sharing private information about Coleen Rooney with the Sun newspaper Coleen is pictured here with her husband Wayne, former England and Manchester United striker, at Nordoff Robbins’ Legends of Football event in London on MondayHe said the bill was ‘drawn without sufficient care’ and had ‘a ‘kitchen sink’ approach’, and included ‘over £120,000 of costs to which Mrs Rooney has no entitlement’.But Robin Dunne, for Coleen, said in his written submissions that Mrs Vardy had shown ‘deplorable conduct’ in the case and that costs could have been lower if ‘she conducted this litigation appropriately’.He added: ‘It sits ill in Mrs Vardy’s mouth to now claim that Mrs Rooney’s costs, a great deal of which were caused directly by her conduct, are unreasonable.’MailOnline has contacted ITV and Coleen Rooney’s representatives for comment.
