Wayne Rooney fears he's 'in trouble now' after making I'm A Celeb remark

Wayne Rooney is reportedly a tad anxious about the outcome of his recent rallying support for wife Coleen Rooney in I'm A Celebrity. The footballing legend has been ardently backing his spouse as she braves the Australian wilderness.

Catching attention with her much-talked-about investigation skills, which famously earned her the nickname Wagatha Christie, Coleen was successful in uncovering a deceit in the previous episode, delighting viewers with a bit of jungle detective work. The 38 year old hasn't yet had to face a Bushtucker Trial despite being heavily featured in recent shows.

Plymouth Argyle's gaffer Wayne stepped in today urging his massive following on X to vote for her participation in a trial, enthusiastically posting: "Proud of @ColeenRoo on @imacelebrity she's doing great. Me and the boys would love to see her doing a trial and we know she'd want to put herself to the test. If you can download the #ImACeleb app and let's get voting!"

It seems their wishes were heard loud and clear as Coleen has now been selected for the next days Absolute Carnage trial. However, post-announcement, Wayne aired his concerns that he might have spurred on more than expected, commenting: "Think I could be in trouble here. Good luck @ColeenRoo."

Fans will eagerly await to see how Coleen fares, especially after the tension-packed latest show involving Dean McCullough, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Dean sparked tension in the camp by attempting to swap beds with McFly's Danny Jones, refusing to give up his own bed for Reverend Richard Coles, and later snapping at Alan Halsall. According to camp rules, Dean was supposed to assist Jane Moore with collecting firewood.

The outbursts shocked viewers, who took to social media to suggest that Dean might be the first contestant to be eliminated from the show. Kiera tweeted: "Me voting to save everyone except Dean when we can start voting people out of this show".

Kay posted: "When can we start voting for Dean to leave asking for a friend" Amanda commented: "When can we vote out because dean needs to leave."

I'm a Celebrity continues on ITV and ITV tomorrow.
