COLEEN Rooney is being lined up to sign a £1million deal with ITV after her time in I’m A Celeb, we can reveal.
ITV bosses are said to be eager to snap her up for flagship daytime programme Loose Women — with the potential for her to do other shows such as a remake of her 2008 series Coleen’s Real Women.

The star – who is being paid a whopping £1.5million for her stint in the jungle – is also hoping to bring out her own range of swimwear, raking in yet more dosh.
A source told The Sun on Sunday she can discuss Loose Women in camp with Jane Moore, one of its panellists and a Sun columnist.
They said: “Coleen is set to become ITV’s new golden girl.
“She loves the idea of returning to telly and feels that now is her moment, especially as she’s more mature and her kids are older.
“She won a legion of fans with the way she handled herself during Wagatha and viewers find her down to earth and relatable.
“Coleen has always loved Loose Women and she’s said she would love to join as one of the panellists.
“She loves fearless, opinionated women like Jane Moore and would love to get involved and have her say on things. Coleen has stayed out of the spotlight for so long, some people might not think this would be the gig for her.
“But Coleen’s friends know her as someone sharp, intelligent and not afraid to speak her mind.
“She does lack confidence in public sometimes though, but Coleen has said she hopes her experience in the jungle will help her overcome this. She will definitely be speaking to Jane about Loose Women when she’s in camp.”
Coleen’s Real Women, with the host spotting beauties for modelling jobs, proved a big hit for ITV.
I’m A Celebrity has helped reignite the careers of several celebs, including Myleene Klass and Stacey Solomon.
In 2006 former Hear’Say star Myleene stripped down to a white bikini for a shower, and later brought out her own swimwear range.
Coleen — mum to sons Kai, 13, Klay, ten, Kit, seven, and Cass, five — is no stranger to the fashion industry herself.
She launched her own clothing and swimwear line with Littlewoods in 2012, seven months after having her first child.
Our source said: “Coleen has seen what Myleene has done and wants to do the same. Coleen has always wanted her own career and she adores swimwear.

“She’s in the best shape of her life and the jungle is the perfect place to show that off. Now is her time and she’s going to make the most of it.
“For years she put her career on hold for Wayne but now she wants to get into business, make more of her own money. Her boys are growing up, she has more time.
“And she says she wants to do her own swimwear range. This isn’t new to her.
“She had her own range with Littlewoods but now she doesn’t plan to go with a company like that — she wants to do her own.
“Victoria Beckham has done it, Myleene has done it. Now she wants to do it. It makes perfect sense to her. Swimwear is one of Coleen’s favourite indulgences.
“Fans are going to be amazed by how great she looks when they see her on TV.”
Before heading into the jungle Coleen insisted she is ready for a long stint in camp.
She said: “If I want to do something I want to do it properly, so if I’m going in there I want to stay to the end.”
Bookies have her as favourite to face the first public-voted Bushtucker Trial.
She is 10/1 to win outright.
Our source said: “Even if she doesn’t win, I’m A Celeb is going to give her the springboard into business that she really wants.
“She no longer wants to just be Wayne’s wife, she wants to be known in her own right.”
I'm A Celebrity 2024
As the hit ITV show enters into its 24th series, a brand new batch of famous faces look set to enter the Aussie jungle once again to face terrifying Bushtucker Trials and living amongst the critters in camp in order to come out on top and be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle. The Sun's Jake Penkethman takes a look at the stars heading Down Under this year...
Coleen Rooney – Arguably the most famous name heading into the camp, the leading WAG, known for her marriage to Wayne Rooney, will be making a grand return to TV as she looks to put the Wagatha Christie scandal behind her. The Sun revealed the mum-of-four had bagged an eye-watering deal worth over £1.5million to head into the camp this year making her the highest-paid contestant ever.
Tulisa – The popstar and former X Factor judge looks set to be making a triumphant TV comeback by signing up to this year’s I’m A Celeb after shunning TV shows for many years. Known for being a member of the trio, N-Dubz, Tulisa became a household name back in 2011 when she signed on to replace Cheryl on ITV show The X Factor in a multi-million pound deal.
Alan Halsall – The actor, known for playing the long-running role of Tyrone Dobbs on ITV soap opera Coronation Street, was originally signed up to head Down Under last year but an operation threw his scheduled appearance off-course. Now he will be hoping to become the latest Corrie star to win over both the viewers and his fellow celebrities when he gets into camp.
Melvin Odoom – The Radio DJ has become a regular face on TV screens after rising to fame with presenting roles on Kiss FM, BBC Radio 1 and 4Music. He has already been for a spin on the Strictly dancefloor and co-hosted The Xtra Factor with Rochelle Humes in 2015 but now he is facing up to his biggest challenge yet – the Aussie jungle.
GK Barry – The UK’s biggest social media personality, GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, has transformed her TikTok stardom into a lucrative career.

Danny Jones – The McFly star was drafted into the programme last minute as a replacement for Tommy Fury. Danny is the second member of McFly to enter the jungle, after Dougie Poynter won the show in 2011. He is also considered a rising star on ITV as he’s now one of the mentors on their Saturday night talent show, The Voice, along with bandmate Tom. A jungle insider said: “As well as bringing some of the star appeal of the group with him, he’ll be supplying some serious guy candy for the campmates and viewers at home.”
Maura Higgins – The Irish TV beauty first found fame on Love Island where she found a brief connection with dancer Curtis Pritchard. Since then, she has competed on Dancing On Ice as well as hosting the Irish version of the beauty contest, Glow Up.

It will be Jane’s first foray into reality TV with the telly favourite having always said no to reality shows in the past.
