Coleen Rooney has spoken out about the first thing her husband Wayne Rooney said to her after leaving the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here jungle. In Sunday’s final of the ITV show (Dec 8), it was revealed that the mum-of-four finished in second place behind McFly’s Danny Jones.
Danny was crowned King of the Jungle after reaching the final with Coleen and Rev Richard Coles, who came in third place. The stars took on two trials together on their last day, and managed to walk away with a full house of stars, earning them each a three-course meal of their choice on their final night.
After surviving the full three weeks in camp, Coleen, 38, told Ant and Dec: “I couldn’t have wished for someone better to be in the final with, you know, fellow northerner, easy to get on with. But, the whole camp was – everyone was from different backgrounds, had different life stories, but as a group, we were all open, and we could relate to each other in different ways.”
Just hours after leaving the jungle, Coleen appeared on Good Morning Britain on Monday (December 9) to chat to hosts Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid about her time in camp.
Speaking about doing the show, she told the presenters: “I felt ready to give it a go. It was a challenge for myself to take myself away from my family, and I don’t regret anything now after coming out.”
Whilst she was in the jungle, Coleen was surprised with a visit from her mum Colette, as well as her too youngest boys Kai and Cass. The emotional reunion saw Coleen break down in tears as she told her songs: “I’m crying because I’m happy, because I’ve missed you so much.”

Speaking to Richard and Susanna, Coleen said: “He just said how much he missed me, how proud he was and that the support back home has been unbelievable.”
She added: “He just can’t wait to see me and I can’t wait to see him as well.”
