Wayne Rooney left fans of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here‘s spin-off show gobsmacked as he hinted at a future stint in the jungle while his wife Coleen is currently braving the elements. The former Manchester United and England footballer made an appearance on I’m A Celebrity: Unpacked on Saturday night to discuss Coleen’s journey so far, but admitted he wouldn’t mind taking part in the ITV reality show himself.
Wayne’s revelation came after he urged viewers to vote for Coleen to undertake a Bushtucker Trial, believing she would relish the opportunity to “put herself to the test”. The 39 year old expressed his pride in how Coleen was handling the Australian jungle on X, formerly Twitter, ahead of Saturday’s episode.
The childhood sweethearts, who started dating when they were 16, are parents to four sons – Kai Wayne, Klay Anthony, Kit Joseph and Cass Mac. “Proud of @ColeenRoo on @imacelebrity she’s doing great,” he posted on X, sharing a collage of photos from her time on the show.
“Me and the boys would love to see her doing a trial and we know she’d want to put herself to the test. If you can download the #ImACeleb and let’s get voting! ” At the end of Saturday’s episode, it was announced that Coleen would be facing the next Bushtucker Trial alongside BBC Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough. Wayne then light-heartedly added to his social media post: “Think I could be in trouble here. Good luck @ColeenRoo #ImACeleb.”
During an appearance on I’m A Celeb spin-off Unpacked, alongside Joel Dommett, Kemi Rodgers, and Sam Thompson, Wayne confessed that he was missing Coleen, revealing it was the longest they’d been apart since childhood. “I think it’s the longest, you know, I’ve been without speaking to her since we were kids,” he shared, reports the Manchester Evening News.
He also mentioned the challenges of being away from the children, but expressed gratitude for Coleen’s parents, who were lending a helping hand while he was in Plymouth for work. Despite the distance, Wayne admitted to voting for Coleen to participate in trials, as hinted on his social media, saying: “Yes I would love for her to do a trial. It’s all part of the experience, and I think she’d be great as well.”
Additionally, he revealed plans to welcome Coleen back with a heartfelt poem, stating: “I’ve always liked doing and writing poems and expressing my feelings in a different way as well. And yeah, so there’ll be one waiting for her for sure.”

Wayne opened up about his wife’s appearance on the show, expressing his pride in how people are seeing the ‘real’ Coleen: “She’s a nice person, a warm person and a very caring person. And I think that’s coming across, you know, I think she’s probably in the middle of the older ones and the young ones, so she’s probably bridging that gap a little bit. But I think she’s absolutely shown her personality, character, and I think that’s coming across strong. So, it’s great to see it in there and see her settling in as well over the last few days.”
He also revealed their love for the program: “I think Celebrity is the best one. And the one which we always said, if we were ever going to do one, that’s the one we do. And obviously Coleen’s gone out there to test herself,” Wayne shared, before addressing whether he’d participate: “Maybe, if I’m not working, I would like to do it. But at the minute, obviously, that’s not possible.”
