‘Hatred or mockery towards Wayne’ – Rooney documentary warning as Coleen takes relationship risk with £10m Disney+ deal

After seeing her stock soar on the back of a runner-up finish in the 2024 edition of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, Coleen is said to have been inundated with offers when it comes to media work. Disney+ have battled it out with streaming rivals Amazon Prime for the right to give fans a fly-on-the-wall look at life in the Rooney household.

Coleen is excited by that project, but questions have been asked of whether husband Wayne is quite so enthralled, with the Manchester United legend currently back on punditry duty after enduring another flop in the coaching game at Plymouth.

An insider has told Heat: “Coleen is really excited at the idea of having her own reality show, but some people are worried that it could cause tension between her and Wayne. Having kept a low-profile for so many years, stepping back into the limelight has renewed Coleen’s self-confidence. The only problem is Wayne is at a crossroads in his career and his friends worry being eclipsed by his wife could knock his self-esteem.”

The source went on to say: “Her and Wayne’s mutual friends are worried that the producers might want to show Coleen as the one calling the shots at home, while Wayne could be portrayed as this kind of dithering background presence. But that’s more because he can be camera shy – reality TV just isn’t his thing. Coleen has had more experience – she’s a real natural.”

While Coleen is ready to lift the lid, she has been asked to consider whether Wayne could be nudged off the rails again if he is forced to star on a show that he is not fully supportive of. Heat’s insider added: “Her friends are begging her to really think it through. People can be vicious on social media and, if there was a big wave of hatred or mockery towards Wayne, they’re worried it could cause him to act out.”

Coleen recently joked that Wayne has “passed his sell-by-date”, as she has become the bigger draw on school runs, but the ex-England captain was supposedly planning a documentary of his own when calling the shots at Plymouth so would appear happy at stepping foot in front of the cameras.
