I'm A Celeb's Coleen Rooney's famous pals including Peter and Abbey Crouch and Danielle Lloyd urge fans to make her winner
Coleen Rooney is being public support by not only her footballer husband Wayne Rooney and their kids, but by a host of very famous faces from her home city of Liverpool. The mum of four is currently into the final few hours of her wait to learn whether she'll be crowned 2024 I'm A Celebrity jungle queen, and while the odds might not be in her favour, she's not short of support at home.
After an adorable video of Wayne, 39, and the couple's two eldest sons - Kai, 15, and Klay, 11 - expressing how proud they were of their mum's jungle antics was released earlier today, the likes of Abbey Clancy, Danielle Lloyd, Tony Bellew and Claire Sweeney have thrown their support behind her as well.
In a new video posted to Coleen's Instagram account, a host of very famous Liverpool faces urged people to get behind Coleen and to vote for her to be winner tonight (Sunday, December 8). First up was podcaster and TV host Abbey Clancy, who said: "Good luck Coleen, we're all rooting for you in the Crouch household. You've been incredible... our winner since day one and you're just gorgeous. You've been yourself throughout and you're amazing. Everyone, please vote for Coleen. Love you lots!".

Her footballer hubby Peter Crouch added afterwards: "Yeah Coleen keep it going. Everyone in the Crouch household is voting for you so good luck, keep it up".
According to the latest odds, Coleen, 34, is second-favourite to win after McFly singer Danny Jones, with Reverend Richard Coles in third. But with the likes of the Crouches and Coronation Street actress Claire Sweeney hoping to encourage one last surge of votes, it could all change.
Another Liverpool legend who knows what it's like in the jungle is former boxer Tony Bellew, who took part in last year's series, and finished as runner-up to Sam Thompson. Echoing Abbey and Peter, he said: "Girl you've made it to the end, well done Coleen. You've done absolutely brilliant, everyone's so proud of you in the city.
"You've done scousers and our city so, so proud. Guys, get voting for her, she's done amazing. Being away from her kids, being away from her family, it's really tough in there, it's not easy. She's done amazing. Get voting, call, call, call, come on guys let's get behind her. Good luck Col."
Another person to comment on Coleen making her home city proud was Corrie actress Claire Sweeney, although she admitted her loyalties were initially torn because her co-star Alan Halsall (who plays her on-screen son) was also part of this year's line-up.
"Obviously my loyalty was with my son Alan Halsall," she grinned. "I love you Coleen but now Alan's gone, I can say 'Vote Coleen for the winner tonight!'. I mean, you've been so honest and so lovely, and seeing you with your kids last night just made me cry. So, good luck Coleen. You've done Liverpool proud."
Reality star and former model Danielle Lloyd also wanted to get people voting but said her jungle pal would be a queen regardless of the final result. "I just wanted to say a massive congratulations to Coleen. She has absolutely smashed it in the jungle and Liverpool are so proud of you. Honestly, you've shown everyone how real and genuine you are, and whatever happens tonight you will always be the Queen of Liverpool."
