Piers Morgan doesn’t have what it takes to be King of the Jungle, according to former I’m A Celebrity campmate Rebekah Vardy.
The 2017 ITV reality series contestant scoffed at the Good Morning Britain host’s chances of thriving on the show as she took the mickey out of Piers on Twitter earlier today.
Teasing Piers over his claim he’d “much kangaroo testicles” for a £5million fee, Rebekah doubted 54-year-old had the stomach to last out.
“Stop it, you wouldn’t last five minutes Morgan,” she tweeted.

The social media mocking continued: “I can’t imagine you eating kangaroo balls or sheep anus somehow.”
Piers – who retched on GMB during an attempt to eat a vegan sausage roll – responded by insisting nothing was off limits as part of a Bush Tucker trial as long as the price is right.
He replied: “I’ll do anything for £5million.”
Denying him the final word, Rebekah – married to England footballer Jamie Vardy – fired back with three laughing emojis and: “No comment!”

Piers had quoted the amount it would take for him to sign up for I’m A Celebrity after it was reported presenters Ant and Dec were prepared to stump up his asking price themselves if he got on board.
Ant and Dec also have former This Morning host Richard Madeley, DJ Tim Westwood and Newcastle footballing legend Alan Shearer on their personal shortlist of jungle candidates.
Other names rumoured to be in the frame for the reality series down under are Corrie’s Alan Halsall, Love Island’s Olivia Attwood, ex EastEnders actress Jacqueline Jossa, former rugby star James Haskell and Paul Hollywood’s ex Summer Monteys-Fullam.
I’m A Celebrity is expected to return to ITV in late November.
