Coleen Rooney has four-word reply to Wayne after learning he voted for her to do grim trials on I'm A Celeb
Coleen Rooney has given her verdict on husband Wayne Rooney's cheeky antics while she was in the jungle. The mum-of-four, who was the runner-up on the 2024 season of I'm A Celebrity, revealed that Wayne had been encouraging his whopping 62 million social media followers to vote for her to face some of the show's most gruesome trials.
Speaking about Wayne's playful campaign, Coleen admitted: "I’m glad he did. Because I was desperate to do a trial. I thought, ‘What’s the point in coming in here if I’m not doing any trials?’," she said. Since leaving the jungle, Coleen also confessed that her detective skills were honed long before her infamous Wagatha Christie saga.
She even used to figure out what her Christmas presents would be as a child! Coleen's sleuthing abilities became public knowledge in 2019 after she accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking stories to the press in a dramatic social media post.

I'm A Celeb's second-hottest star joked: "I usually get on to things. I usually sniff things out before it actually happens. Even down to Christmas presents when I was younger — I knew what I was getting before it was Christmas."
Coleen flaunted her detective prowess once more on ITV's I'm A Celebrity when she twigged onto Maura Higgins’ and Rev Richard Coles’ Jungle Junkyard fibs. She clocked that the duo, who were secretly enjoying the high life, appeared too chipper to have been telling the truth about roughing it.
The mum of four opened up about her emotional rollercoaster on I'm a Celebrity, admitting she almost walked out early due to missing her family. Chatting with the Mirror after coming second to Danny Jones, Coleen shared how a glimpse of Wayne and the kids on her pillow led to tears.
"In that first week, I did wake up one morning and I looked at the pillow and I saw on it obviously Wayne and the kids, and I had a little cry and I thought I don't know whether I can go all this way," she confessed. However, Coleen quickly shook off the homesickness by diving into camp life, tackling chores like washing up and wood collecting. "I went off and did the washing up and collected the wood and did whatever I had to do," she explained.
Coleen admitted she also worried about seeming quiet, compared to the bigger personalities in camp. She said: "In the first week I just thought I can't see me going all the way because I was just me. We had loads of personalities in there who were great and I got on with, but they were performers and I felt like I was, at times, just sat there thinking, 'what do I bring?
"It wasn't uncomfortable. They made it comfortable. It was just me sitting back and looking at that camp and thinking I was more quieter than everyone else. But obviously people enjoyed it and wanted me to stay in there longer and see a bit more of me. I don't know why but they did."
