cashing

COLEEN Rooney has taken a fresh swipe at her ex-pal Rebekah Vardy as she uses their Wagatha Christie row to cash in – AGAIN.

Wayne’s wife was famously embroiled in a six-year fight with fellow WAG Rebekah when Coleen turned detective and accused Rebekah of leaking stories from her personal Instagram account.

In the infamous post, Coleen dramatically announced to the world: “It’s . . . Rebekah Vardy’s account.”

The iconic catchphrase was today used in a new TV advert for Paddy Power starring Coleen and other famous faces including Danny Dyer, Peter Crouch and Gemma Collings.

Cockney EastEnders legend Danny stars as a casino kingpin who flips out when he spots a prosecco glass on his blackjack table, shouting: “Which melt has left their drink on my felt?”

And in a nod to Coleen’s super sleuth skills, he gets a text from Coleen, which says: “It’s… Gemma Collins.”

She then winks at the camera after being described by Danny as a “silent assassin”.

A TV insider told The Sun: “Even after all these years, people are obsessed with the Wagatha Christie case and Coleen’s detective work.

“The whole ordeal was a nightmare for Coleen at the time but she’s since made a lot of money from the experience and is happy to capitalise on it.

“Paddy Power is renowned for its hilarious media campaigns and this is yet another example.”

The advert for Paddy Power Games follows 39-year-old Coleen’s previous Wagatha Christie jab when she was announced as the investigator of Man City’s Financial Fair Play case in an hilarious sketch.

Coleen Rooney said: “I’ve been watching the same game almost my entire life, so it’s nice to have a bit of variety for once, and being back with the Paddy Power crew to film such a glamourous ad was brilliant.

“I loved getting dressed up and stepping into the madness of a Paddy Power casino world – Danny played the role of casino boss perfectly, plus I got to reprise my role as head of investigations….what more could you want!”

Rebekah – who’s married to Jamie Vardy – brought a multi-million pound case to court after Coleen publicly accused her of leaking to the press in October 2019.

Despite bringing a libel case against her, Rebekah’s reputation and finances were left hanging in tatters after she was savaged by Mrs Justice Steyn in her ruling.

She was ordered to pay Coleen Rooney £1.4million – picking up 90 per cent of Coleen’s bill after she sensationally lost the libel case.

Coleen went on to release a three-part documentary on Disney+ called Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story and land a place on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.

The ad, created by BBH London, hits screens this Saturday, October 18 to launch “all sorts of games for all sorts of treacles”. 

The GC delivers one of her most iconic one-liners as well as sequins and sass.

Gemma said:“Let me tell you something, this ad is pure glamour, and did you see the dress, that gorgeous number came home with me!

“Paddy Power Games went all out with this one, it felt like being on a Hollywood set – lights, camera, casino!

A SON found his mum’s winning EuroMillions lottery ticket and cashed it in for £18,403.

Liam Carter, 34, originally from Hampshire but living in Aberdeen, had been sorting through his mum’s belongings, who sadly died three days prior.

Anne, who died aged 67, usually kept lottery tickets in the kitchen drawer.

While Liam sifted through the area, he came across a folded envelope.

On it, Anne had written: “Sat draw – don’t forget!”

Although he was tempted to leave it, “something” told Liam to reconsider.

He said: “I scanned it using the National Lottery app, and it said it was a winning ticket — but I’d have to call the lottery line.”

Liam phoned the line last Saturday and was told his mother, who played the lottery every week, had matched five of the numbers from the draw and had only missed the missing stars.

This meant she had won a payout of £18,403.

Liam described his reaction. He said: “I just froze.

“I must’ve gone quiet on the phone. It didn’t feel real. She never won anything big in her life — and now this.”

He added: “She always said if she ever won, the money would be for me.

“And even though she never knew about this win, it really felt like something she left behind for me. Like one final gift.”

Liam plans to put the money towards a deposit on a flat, something he says his mother always wanted him to do.

A spokesperson from Playcasino.com said: “Liam’s story shows that the lottery isn’t just about money — it’s about meaning.

“In this case, a forgotten ticket became something powerful and emotional.

“It’s a reminder that even the smallest moments can carry the biggest impact.”

How to play in the EuroMillions

To take part in the EuroMillions, pick five numbers from one to 50 and two lucky stars from one to 12.

You could also try a Lucky Dip for a random selection.

Then choose to play on Tuesday or Thursday or both if you’re feeling super lucky.

Then select the amount of weeks you’d like to play. You can play up to seven lines of numbers and buy up to 10 play slips at a time.

EuroMillions tickets can be bought online every day from 6am to 11pm but to play on a drawer day the ticket must be bought before 7.30pm.
