Coleen Rooney sparked a furore among fans with her peculiar dining etiquette during the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! finale. In a celebratory feast for the final trio, Coleen, Richard Coles, and the ultimate victor Danny Jones, the contestants were treated to a three-course meal after acing their trial.

Coleen's choice included bruschetta to start, followed by spaghetti bolognese, and rounded off with profiteroles.

Twitter was ablaze as viewers spotted the WAG meticulously slicing her spaghetti with a knife and fork. Some even questioned her worthiness of victory due to this culinary faux pas.

"I don't know if I can vote for Coleen, cutting her spaghetti with a knife. Twirl it, woman," one user admonished.

Another concurred: "Coleen doesn't twist the spaghetti? Criminal," while a third vented: "COLEEN CUTS HER SPAGHETTI. SHE CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO WIN."

And another lamented: "Coleen Rooney has just cut spaghetti with a knife and fork if she wins this is a travesty," reports the Mirror.

One exasperated viewer queried: "Why is Coleen eating spaghetti bolognese with a knife?" And another claimed a cultural affront, asserting: "The Italian in me is pained watching Coleen cut her spaghetti with a knife, this is outrageous."

The dinner choices ignited fierce debate among viewers, with Danny's selection of mozzarella sticks, a buttermilk chicken burger and chips, along with profiteroles drenched in warm Nutella sauce, and a beer to wash it down.

Contrastingly, Richard opted for a king prawn cocktail, traditional cottage pie with veggies and gravy, fruit cake for his sweet treat, and a glass of Chablis Grand Cru.

Critics voiced their astonishment at Richard's decisions: "The Reverend could have literally had any meal he wanted omg. Why would he willingly choose to eat fruitcake over something delicious. Strange choices," one viewer complained, while another was appalled: "Actually offended by the Reverend's dinner. How revolting."

Coleen, meanwhile, faced severe judgment not only for her pasta manners but also for her performance during her last challenge. Departing from her calm demeanor, she succumbed to terror amidst a tangle of snakes, prompting Ant and Dec to remark on her unprecedented fear.

Observers were equally startled, witnessing a side of Coleen fraught with panic and fear, a departure from her composed presence in the preceding weeks of the show.

Viewers took to social media to share their thoughts, with one fan commenting: "First time I've seen Coleen actually panic!" Another echoed this sentiment, saying: "Most panicked I've seen Coleen yet!"

However, not everyone was convinced by her reaction, with one sceptic suggesting she was putting on an act to appear courageous, writing: "Coleen has been silent in all the trials so far but on the last one she's freaking out? It's giving acting scared to appear brave."
