She is keen to remind ITV bosses and hosts Ant and Dec that she owns the trademark to the phrase Wagatha Christie.

A source said: “Becky was absolutely agog to hear Coleen was doing I’m A Celeb and fears a whole new round of allegations about their Wag war.

“What’s more, she knows Ant and Dec will make her the brunt of their jokes and be desperate to jump on the Wagatha Christie phrase.

“A very close eye will be kept on everything ITV air.”

It comes as mum-of-five Becky, 42, and mum-of-four Coleen, 38, were back in court last week in a ­further showdown following Becky’s 2022’s libel case defeat.

Becky, the wife of Leicester City’s Jamie, an I’m a Celeb contestant in 2017, is disputing Coleen’s costs after being ordered to pay 90 per cent of her legal bills.

A source close to Becky added: “She thinks Coleen’s a hypocrite.

“She told friends it felt a bit rich for Coleen to bang on during the High Court libel row about how she liked to keep her life private and didn’t engage with exposure — and now she’s signed up to ITV’s biggest show.”
