Coleen Rooney reveals the nocturnal habit husband Wayne has warned may irritate I'm A Celebrity camp-mates

Having spent many years putting off a stint in the Australian jungle, Coleen has finally agreed to head Down Under. She has rubbished reports suggesting that arthritis will rule her out of many Bushtucker trials, with the full I’m A Celeb experience about to be embraced.

It does, however, remain to be seen what Coleen’s fellow celebrities make of her and night-time behaviour that may make sleeping out in elements, surrounded by critters, even harder. Rooney has told The Mirror: “I didn’t think I snored, but Wayne says I snore. Not continuously though – just every now and again. I have been in the public eye for over 20 years now and people take what they want from it. I do think people will get a better idea of what kind of person I am.”

Husband Wayne, who is Manchester United’s all-time leading goalscorer, will be staying behind in England as he has professional commitments to attend to as manager of Championship side Plymouth. He has grown accustomed to being apart from Coleen of late after moving out of the family’s Cheshire mansion and down to Devon.

Coleen added on Wayne’s reaction to her taking on the I’m A Celeb challenge: “Wayne is supportive. He did say, ‘You know you are going to be on camera 24/7?’ but I said, ‘Yeah that’s the show!’.”

She went on to say when asked if her long-time partner would ever agree to go on the show himself once clear of any coaching responsibilities: “If he had time, he’d have a go. I am not saying he would go in, but he wouldn’t be completely put off.”
