She earned her nickname as a WAG, after marrying Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy in 2016.
But Becky Vardy fiercely hit out at claims she is a 'gold digger' and married to the footballer for a money, on Tuesday night's I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.
Speaking to her camp mates in the jungle, the 35-year-old affirmed she has a job of her own and makes her own money - and blasted the image of the glamorous footballer's wife by claiming: 'I still shop in Next!'

The beauty was discussing her life with the footballer, 30, with Dennis Wise, Shappi Khorsandi and Jamie Lomas when the topic of 'WAGs' arose.
Comedian Shappi kicked the conversation off by observing: 'The image of footballers and their wives that is sold to us is the whole, David and Victoria Beckham, diamonds on your shoes kind of impression.'
As Becky laughed, the comedian then added: 'I've always found the term WAG offensive.'

Jamie's wife then used the opportunity to justify her supposedly glamorous lifestyle - revealing she has a job of her own, and hitting back at claims she is only with her husband for money.
She said: 'The term WAG is so ridiculous. I still shop in Next, I work, I earn my own money and use it to pay for my children's education.
'And yet, I still get called a gold digger, and told I'm only with Jamie for his money, etc.'

Admitting she was just a normal girl and had more substance than people think, she added: 'I'm not what people perceive.'
Dennis then added in support of her claims: 'Becky and Jamie got married because they love each other, no other reason,' to which Becky agreed: '100%.'
Jamie and Rebekah first met when she was hired to organise the footballer's birthday party in 2014.

They went on to welcome their daughter Sofia, now two, before tying the knot at Peckforton Castle in May 2016.
Proving their romance to be stronger than ever, the beauty recently thanked her husband for all his support on social media - after revealing her shocking experiences of domestic violence from other lovers.
Becky revealed she fell victim to 'nasty men' in her teens in a poignant Instagram essay last month, as women from the showbiz world continue to come forward about harassment.
She went on to thank and praise husband Jamie, who has helped her to 'forget' her insecurities and live life to the full.
