Coleen Rooney shares first thing Wayne said to her after I’m a Celebrity success

After Coleen Rooney left the I’m a Celebrity camp, her husband, Wayne, called her and said how proud he was of her.

The 38-year-old media personality tackled the jungle on Sunday, having for the first time in a while an emotional conversation with her partner. She had previously received a letter from Wayne, 39, in which “he’s never missed as much” during their 16-year marriage.

Coleen came second in the competition, narrowly losing out to McFly’s Danny Jones. After leaving, Coleen told reporters, “Wayne just said how proud he was.

He claimed in the letter I received that he had never missed me as much, and I can understand that because we haven’t spoken. We’ve been apart for weeks and weeks on end, but we speak a number of times a day, we FaceTime. So to not have that communication, it’s been tough. “

Wayne, currently manager of Plymouth Argyle, was the first person Coleen rang after the programme ended. During the ITV show, she had expressed her sadness at missing Wayne, father to their four children. She also reportedly thought about leaving camp after her first week of sobbling with her kids.

But Coleen, from Liverpool, overcame her struggle to almost clinch victory. The mum lost out to Danny, 38, by just over ten per cent of the 10million votes cast.

Recalling her challenge, the strong-willed media personality said: “In that first week, I did wake up one morning and obviously I’d been given the pillow that I was sleeping on.

“I looked and I’d seen Wayne and the kids, and I had a little cry and thought, ‘I don’t know whether I can go all this way’. And that was the first week.

“But then I quickly ran out of it, collected the wood, and did the washing up, and did the rest, and everything turned out fine.” I proceeded with it. “
