Coleen Rooney and her husband, Wayne, looked every inch the loved up couple before the WAG winged her way to Oz for I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! on Monday.

Posing for a snap ahead of Coleen's epic jungle stint, the childhood sweethearts couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces as the Scouser, 38, lapped up the last of the luxury on her Instagram Story before she kissed goodbye to her creature comforts.

However, in 2017, Coleen admitted she felt sick to hear her husband's voice when he was caught drunk behind the wheel of another woman's car.

Wayne and Coleen's marriage has faced its fair share of ups and downs since they tied the knot in 2008, but they hit rock bottom seven years ago, with Coleen admitting: "I would never wish anyone to feel that".

When England star, Wayne, was pulled over by police in September 2017 with estate agent Laura Simpson, then 29, who he'd met in a bar during a boozy night out, Coleen got a phone call from him - but he didn't offer her any explanation for his antics.

Instead, his silent response left her feeling 'sick to the stomach' as she recalled: "I was in the airport and I got a phone call and it was Wayne. I just said what's gone on? Straightaway you don't get much out of him. You don't get a lot of information.

"It was just sickening. I've had that feeling in my stomach a few times and I would never wish anyone to feel that. You do think, do I actually know this person, when things like that happen. Y'know, 'You're not the person I married and the person I want you to be'. He just said, 'I'm sorry I'm sorry'. And I said well, 'You can't be sorry because you know it's wrong what you've done' and I just kept saying you're stupid, you are just so stupid."

Recalling the moment in Coleen's three-part Disney+ docuseries - which mainly focuses on the infamous Wagatha Christie trial, Wayne admitted an own goal, as he said: "Of course she wasn't happy. But if I'm being honest, I can't even remember speaking to the girl in the bar, never met before in my life. So there was never any talk of anything happening or anything was gonna happen. You know, I'm driving another girl's car and she's in the passenger seat, it doesn't look great. I know what it was. But I also know what it looked like."

Coleen was too heartbroken to stay in the couple's palatial pile in Cheshire and fled to her parents' house with her kids, still reeling from what had happened. Reflecting on her daughter's heartache, the WAG's mum, Colette McLoughlin, said: "As parents you don't want your daughter to be going through that. You're mad, you're angry. All you wants to do is protect her. She was speaking to Wayne who's trying to sort things out. I love him but sometimes I don't like him. I feel like shaking him. He's hurt Coleen and that's what matters."

At the time, Coleen posted a photo on her private Instagram account with her kids, however the information was leaked despite her deleting the post after a few hours. It was the first of many stories that made their way into The Sun newspaper. Coleen then went to Barbados with her children to spend some time apart from Wayne and think things through. More information continued to leak from her account, including when she came back and decided to move back in.

And so began Wagatha Christie as news of the reunion made it into outlet, Coleen was furious. She said: "I posted another warning [on Instagram] to say please stop. I felt betrayed. It was sly." But it was only when a more things leaked that she decided Rebekah Vardy could be to blame for all of the information being passed onto the same newspaper.

Recalling the wife of Leicester City star Jamie Vardy's betrayal, Coleen concluded: "Out of them 300 odd people there was only one account that stood out and that was Rebekah Vardy's account. I had to think of some sort of trap."
