  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Manchester United legend Rooney is back in coaching at Championship level after agreeing to inherit the reins at Home Park during the summer of 2024. A first red card as a boss forced him to spend time away from the dugout, while there have already been three international breaks in the 2024-25 campaign.

    THE GOSSIP

    The last of those is in the process of being completed, meaning that Rooney and Co. will face a gruelling domestic schedule through to March of next year. There is little room in that calendar for the ex-England captain to be jetting off to Australia.

  • WHAT DANIELLE LLOYD SAID

    Danielle Lloyd has, however, told OK! of how her close friend Coleen will be feeling in the 'I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!' jungle and why some familiar faces may be on hand to welcome her back to the real world: “Missing her kids. She will really struggle with that. She will constantly be thinking, ‘Are they OK? They’ve got football tonight and something else on tomorrow…,’ so that part will be tough for her. But I think the kids and Wayne might go out and see her at the end, which will be nice.”

    DID YOU KNOW?

    Lloyd, who was a WAG herself when married to ex-Tottenham star Jamie O’Hara, added on what Coleen could bring to life around the camp fire Down Under: “I think she’ll get on really well with all the girls. I don’t think there’s anyone I can really see her clashing with, she’s the kind of person who gets on with everyone. She will have loads of stories to tell, too – she’s met some amazing people and is friends with Ed Sheeran, Beyonce and Jay-Z.”

  • WHAT NEXT?

    For now, Wayne is watching on from afar as Coleen settles into a new life that involves sleeping under the stars and taking on gruesome Bushtucker trials. His Plymouth side will be back in action on Friday when playing host to Watford.
