Coleen Rooney spotted for first time after she lands bumper pay cheque for I’m A Celeb
COLEEN Rooney has been spotted running errands and filling up her car with petrol after it was announced she will take part in I’m A Celebrity this year.
Mum of four Coleen was spotted dressed down as she ran errands including nipping to Marks & Spencer and calling into the petrol pump for her Mercedes SUV.
Noted as one of the ITV‘s biggest signings for the show, she’s thought to have netted the biggest pay deal in the history of the show – more than Nigel Farage’s £1.5million last year.
It’s thought ITV bosses hope Coleen will spill the beans on life with hubby Wayne and her epic fallout with Rebekah Vardy.
A source said: “I’m A Celeb bosses have pulled off a huge coup.”
Sources say ITV bosses hope she will reveal juicy details round the campfire of her life with Wayne, as well as gossip from her public fall-out with Rebekah.
A telly source told The Sun on Sunday: “I’m A Celeb bosses have pulled off a huge coup getting Coleen for the jungle this year and the team are thrilled to have her on board.
“She’s always been a massive fan of the show and loves watching it with her boys.
“ITV are over the moon that the stars have aligned this year and she can fit it in. The series is set to be one of the best yet.
“Coleen has a huge fanbase and she won massive plaudits for her classy handling of the Wagatha Christie case.
“She’s excited to show fans a different side to her and prove she can survive without her creature comforts.”
Coleen taking part in the show is also thought to be another insult to her Wagatha Christie rival Rebekah Vardy, who took part in 2017 but was booted out early.
The source added: “The campfire chats are set to be bombshells as there is so much she could lift the lid on, from all the drama of the Wagatha trial to her turbulent marriage to Wayne and his football career.
“She is expected to be very popular with viewers and she could triumph over Becky again if she goes further in the competition than her.”
Coleen will leave her four sons and husband Wayne to fly out next month to compete in the Bushtucker Trials. The Liverpool couple share sons Kai, 14, Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and Cass, six.
Wayne now splits his time between the family’s £20million Cheshire home and Devon, where he manages Championship team Plymouth Argyle.
The insider added: “Now that Wayne is no longer working in the US and the children are older, Coleen is more available to throw herself into work projects.
“She has an incredibly tight-knit family, who can help out with childcare while she is away.
“Her boys will love watching her on the show. She isn’t a fan of bugs and creepy-crawlies or sleeping outdoors, but she is up for a challenge and has great determination.”
