Coleen Rooney will jet off to Australia next month to take part in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here

Wayne Rooney is reportedly concerned about wife Coleen's upcoming appearance on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here because of what she might say about his past behaviour.

Coleen signed the biggest deal in I'm A Celeb history after agreeing to take part in the ITV show, which will start filming next month.


The 38-year-old will jet off to Australia in the coming weeks while her husband Wayne remains in Devon where he is in charge of Championship side Plymouth Argyle.

And the Manchester United legend is reportedly worried that Coleen might bring up his iffy past as a husband as she is 'very open and honest'.

A source told OK Magazine: "Wayne is a little worried about what she will say about their marriage, and whether all his past misbehaviour gets brought up.

"Coleen is very open and honest – if she bonds with someone in there, she will talk about everything she’s been through, including stuff with Wayne and Becky."

Rooney has been involved in several scandals throughout his career at United, Everton and even abroad with DC United.

In 2017, Wazza was found by police behind the wheel of a VW Beetle that belonged to Laura Simpson, who had met Rooney on a night out as Coleen was on holiday and pregnant with their fourth child.

Coleen recently spoke out on the incident, saying: "It was just sickening. I’ve had that feeling in my stomach a few times and I would never wish anyone to feel that.

"Wayne just said, 'sorry, I’m sorry' and I said 'well you can’t be sorry because it’s wrong what you’ve done', and I just kept saying 'you’re stupid, you’re so stupid'. I was just heartbroken."

In the same year, Rooney was arrested for drink-driving and was banned from driving for two years, which earned him a £300,000 fine from Everton.

A year later, Rooney was arrested in the United States and charged with public intoxication and use of profanity in public.

In 2010, Helen Wood claimed Rooney paid her and Jennifer Thompson £1,000 for a threesome in a Manchester hotel while his wife was five months pregnant.

The England legend has addressed his past before in an Amazon Prime documentary titled Rooney.

He said: "Stuff which has happened in the past with girls for instance, of course, it’s the stuff I regret, so much I feel there’s stuff stuck against my name."

Coleen's fee on I'm A Celeb is reported to be worth more than the £1.5million that the ITV show paid Nigel Farage last year.

She had been concerned with her husband over his health in Devon after a recent visit, as she still lives up north in Cheshire.
