Wayne Rooney drops huge I'm a Celeb bombshell after Coleen stars on show

Wayne Rooney opens up about wife Coleen's jungle stint and even says he will do the show one day - as well as saying how proud he is of his wife

Former football ace Wayne Rooney has broken his silence about wife Coleen's I'm a Celeb adventure - admitting that he would like to do the show next.

Speaking on the ITV spin-off show, he also said that the kids missed their mum but they were all so proud of her.

And he said he would write a poem for her return to civilisation - after Coleen told the camp he was a poet.

Asked if he would ever do the show, he said: “Maybe, if I'm not working, I would like to do it. But at the minute, obviously, that's not possible."

He also said he was missing Coleen and it was the longest he had been without seeing her since they were children.

“I think it's the longest, you know, I've been without speaking to her since we were kids,” he says. “And for the children, obviously it's difficult not being able to speak to the mum. But Coleen’s parents are helping out obviously, while I’m over in Plymouth living there at the minute with my work. There's a good team looking after the kids and making sure everything is done. And so, we're missing her, but we're enjoying watching as well.”

Wayne said he had been voting for her to do the trials. And last night she was picked along with Dean.

Speaking before he found out Coleen had been chosen, he admits: “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.”

He also said he would have a poem waiting for her when she comes out. “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,” he said.

Talking to ITV host Joel Dommett, Wayne said that she had been doing a brilliant job in camp.

"It’s strange to be honest seeing her out there in the jungle, but I think she's doing a great job. I think she's showing everyone her personality, character, and I'm really enjoying the show. So yes, it's strange, but she's doing us all proud."

Asked if he was pleased people were seeing the ‘real’ Coleen, Wayne said: “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 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.”.

Wayne said him and Coleen watch the show every year.

“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.
