Wayne Rooney wants to 'do a little bit better' than wife Coleen on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

Wayne Rooney wants to "do a little bit better" than wife Coleen on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.

The former footballer has set his sights on being named King of the Jungle and admitted one of his primary reasons for wanting to win is to outdo his wife, who was runner-up to McFly's Danny Jones in 2024.

He told the Daily Mail online: "I was really proud of Coleen and her time in the jungle.

"There’s no competition between us, but I would like to do a little bit better than her. So let’s see!"

Wayne thinks one of the biggest challenges of the show will be being away from Coleen and their four sons, Kai, 17, Klay, 13, Kit, ten, and eight-year-old Cass, even though he previously managed DC United in Washington while his family stayed in the UK.

He said: "I’ll miss them. I’ve lived away from them before but having no contact like this week is strange. That will be tough. I have to get through that and it is not too long in terms of your life span. But emotionally you don’t know how that will affect you in there."
