Wayne Rooney has sparked rumors that he might be considering joining the reality TV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! this year. The former England captain hinted at the possibility during an appearance on This Morning, but when asked directly by hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, he simply said, "You'll have to wait and see." This response has only added to the speculation surrounding his potential involvement in the show.
Wayne’s wife, Coleen Rooney, made headlines in 2024 when she became the highest-paid contestant in the show’s history, earning around £1.5 million and finishing in second place. If Wayne were to join, he could potentially break that record. According to an insider from The Sun on Sunday, the former football star is currently in advanced talks with the show’s producers and could become its biggest signing if he secures a spot.
Body language expert Judi James noted that Wayne’s seemingly casual reaction to the rumors might not reflect his true feelings. She pointed out that his body language suggested he might actually be excited about the idea of joining the show. If he does participate, he would join a diverse cast that includes singer Su-Elise from Mis-teeq, musician Ricky Wilson from Kaiser Chiefs, Love Island contestant Chloe Burrows, and former Little Mix member Jesy Nelson.
Wayne and Coleen are currently promoting their reality TV series, The Real Rooneys, which is available on Disney+. The couple has been together for 24 years and has seen their fame increase significantly since Coleen’s time on I'm A Celebrity. In a recent interview with Metro, Coleen spoke about how her experience on the show, particularly after her high-profile court case with fellow footballer’s wife Rebekah Vardy, gave her the confidence to take on new challenges and embrace opportunities she loves, including her role as a mother.
