Wayne Rooney to become ‘house husband’ with Coleen Rooney ‘in the driving seat’

Coleen Rooney won over the nation when she appeared on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, a spell which has reportedly sparked a bidding war as broadcasters are “desperate” to snap her up.

Wayne Rooney is set to become a “house husband” as Coleen is “in the driving seat” as the family star.

The 39-year-old former England footballer left his job at Plymouth Argyle on Tuesday. The club announced they “mutually agreed to part ways” with their manager as they sat bottom of English football’s second tier.

And while Wayne may now be facing a spell out of work, Coleen’s popularity has soared as she came second to McFly’s Danny Jones on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! last month. The show is often seen as a commercial springboard for celebrities.

It is another big win for Coleen who has had a rollercoaster couple of years following her High Court dispute with Rebekah Vardy. According to The Telegraph, Coleen’s appearance on I’m a Celeb has sparked a number of high-profile broadcasting offers.

Coleen, 38, is reported to have been paid £1.5 million to enter the jungle. The star is now said to be the centre of a bidding war as broadcasters are said to be “desperate” to sign her up.

An insider told Closer: “ITV are the frontrunners to get her for Loose Women and she would love to do it, but Netflix are now coming in with some big-money offers – we’re talking offers of well over £1 million.”

And with Wayne set to return home to his wife and children at their Cheshire home, he could now take on the role of “house husband” as Coleen “takes the driving seat,” reports The Telegraph. The publication says Wayne is “unlikely” to move into punditry full-time, claiming he “lacks the telegenic fluency” of the likes of Gary Lineker.

Manchester United’s record goalscorer could however make another move into management in the future. He has already had spells in charge of Derby County, DC United in Major League Soccer, and Birmingham City.

The Sun however claims Wayne’s future looks set to be in the media as the star has been offered a lucrative move into punditry. It would see Wayne making a similar move to fellow Liverpudlian Jamie Carragher or ex-Manchester United defender Gary Neville who have become popular figures on Sky Sports.

An insider said: “Wayne is regarded as one of the best pundits in the business.

“He’s very, very knowledgeable about the game. And even though he’s actually quite a shy person, he really feels at home in a TV studio.”

The Mirror previously reported the family could also feature in a Kardashians-like reality TV show. It would star Wayne and Coleen along with Kai 14, Klay 11, Kit eight, and Cass, six.

The concept is said to have gained interest from both Amazon and Disney. An insider said: “It was all set to be Disney’s and then Amazon appeared in the frame. That has sent the fee up. It looks now like the show will go to Disney, but there’s still time.

“Coleen’s time on I’m a Celeb has made her the nation’s sweetheart, even if she didn’t win. The British public can’t get enough of her. Her profile is bigger than ever and the fee for her family’s reality show will reflect that.”
