She conquered the courtroom when she beat Rebekah Vardy in the sensational 2022 libel trial which won her the notorious title, Wagatha Christie.
And now Coleen Rooney has arrived in Australia to triumph over this year’s I’m a Celebrity and be crowned Queen of the Jungle.
The 39-year-old wife of football star, Wayne Rooney, is reportedly being paid £1.5million to appear and was the final celebrity to land in Brisbane Airport.
Wearing a gold necklace bearing her sons’ names, the mother-of-five revealed husband Wayne had wished her ‘good luck’ before she departed.
She also admitted her last school run was ‘very emotional’ with a few tears shed.

‘From me,’ she told the Daily Mail. ‘Not so much for the kids. I just did it as normal.’
Clutching a £1,762 leather tote bag from Chanel, Coleen donned a £1,000 nylon bomber jacket from Loewe over her casual outfit of black leggings and gladiator sandals.
Several fans from Down Under had travelled to Brisbane Airport to greet the infamous wag as she departed her gruelling 22-hour flight.
She has left the former Manchester United striker to look after their five sons Kai, 14, Klay 10, Kit, eight, and Cass, five, in the comfort of the £20million Cheshire mansion they share.
But MailOnline revealed it’s likely her boys will make the trip Down Under with a close group of friends and family to wait for Rooney when she exits the Jungle next month
Rooney’s libel case against fellow Wag, Rebekah Vardy, is sure to be a focal point for her appearance in the Jungle with ITV bosses reportedly hoping she will divulge more information about the media sensation.
The Mail on Sunday revealed longtime hosts Ant and Dec are plotting ‘Wagatha Christie’ gags at expense of the Leicester striker Jamie Vardy’s wife when chatting about Rooney on the show.
Plans include putting money in a ‘swear jar’ every time the duo mention the Wags’ [footballers’ wives and girlfriends] libel trial.

Five years ago, Rooney accused Vardy, 42, of leaking stories about her to the media.
It came after she set a trap for the mother-of-two by posting made-up stories that could only be seen by Vardy and that would then appear in a national newspaper.
Rooney then announced to her social media followers: ‘It’s… Rebekah Vardy’s account.’
While talks around Ant and Dec’s script for the show are ongoing, the punchline is expected to feature heavily in the programme.
A show insider told the Mail on Sunday: ‘Talks about scripts and trials are throwing up hilarious ideas, like a swear jar.
‘A plan is having tasks based on a Cluedo-type idea with Coleen as the detective. But there have been reports about Rebekah having lawyers watch the show because she owns the trademark to the phrase Wagatha Christie.
‘It’ll all be tongue in cheek but Rebekah probably won’t see it that way. She’s still very bitter.’
The Wags remain locked in High Court hearings over the costs, some of which Vardy wants written off as unreasonable.
She appeared on the show in 2017, when she is believed to have been paid £100,000. She was the third contestant to be evicted.
