Coleen Rooney ‘is tipped to appear on Dancing on Ice while rival Rebekah Vardy is eyed up for a permanent role on Loose Women’
Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy are both being lined up for major TV roles, according to reports.
The warring WAGs may be set for on screen comebacks with ITV executives hoping that they will draw huge ratings after their recent rift.
Coleen, 34, has been offered a big money deal to take part in Dancing On Ice after bosses were criticised for only securing low-rent celebrities to join the cast, according to The Sun.

It is also thought that rival Rebekah Vardy, 38, could soon become a regular panelist on daytime show Loose Women.
An industry source told the newspaper: ‘Both women have been absent from TV screens for over a year and there is a lot of interest in their comeback.
‘Dancing on Ice bookers have made it clear Coleen is number one on their list as they think she’ll bring star quality to their line-up and interest from football fans…

‘Loose Women producers already have a great track record with Becky and really love how opinionated she is, plus, as a mother, she is relatable to viewers.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for comment.
It comes following an update in the war of words between Coleen and Rebekah, as it was reported earlier this month that a summit to heal their rift has reached a deadlock.
In October, Coleen admitted that stories about her basement flooding, returning to TV and gender selection were only viewed by Rebekah and these were subsequently followed by media outlets, including MailOnline.
The statement: In October, Coleen publicly accused Rebekah in an explosive statement of selling fake stories about her, sparking an angry denial from the then-pregnant WAG
Rebekah, who denies all allegations, cut her family holiday to Dubai short after Coleen’s dramatic accusation, which captured Britain in the so-called ‘war of the WAGs’ and earned Coleen the nickname of ‘Wagatha Christie’ by fans.
At the time, sources close to Rebekah said leading law firm, Kingsley Napley, had sent Coleen a letter on her behalf demanding she provides them with the evidence she has against Becky so that she can complete her investigation.
Becky is said to have called in a forensic team to analyse her Instagram account following the explosive claims. The aim is to identify the mole who sold fake stories to The Sun from Coleen’s Instagram account.

The pair have held a video meeting earlier this month in a last-ditch attempt to avoid a very public and expensive court hearing.
But it’s now been revealed the pair failed to reach a resolution, meaning their dispute could go to the High Court.
A source has said: ‘The girls are still no further forward, so it’s now going to have to be heard in court.
‘It’s a shame it has come to this but there is no other way. Coleen has plenty of evidence and she isn’t frightened to show it.’
MailOnline contacted Rebekah and Coleen’s representative for comment at the time.
The women also held an online Alternative Dispute Resolution mediation meeting earlier this month alongside their lawyers after it was claimed Becky, wife of Leicester City and England striker Jamie Vardy, threatened to sue Coleen for libel.
Coleen whose husband Wayne is player-coach at Derby County, is thought to be countersuing for breach of privacy.
