During a chat around the campfire with fellow celebs GK Barry, Oti Mabuse and The Sun’s own Jane Moore, Coleen was quizzed about her other half.
Oti asked whether it was “love at first sight” when the pair met.
Coleen , who has been with Wayne since she was 16, replied: “No, it was for him, not for me. He fought to get me, yeah.”
She continued: “I waited until I’d done my GCSEs and then I went on a date. I was pretty good at school.”
She also surprised her campmates by revealing that the pair’s first kiss was in an unusual location.
“We had a kiss behind the church first,” she admitted, recalling their first lip lock before heading on an initial date to the cinema.
Coleen made her entrance on the show tonight with the second bath of celebrities as the campmates were split into two groups.
Coleen was in the group who met on the beach, alongside Corrie Star Alan Halsall, TV Presenter & DJ Melvin Odoom, boxer Barry McGuigan and podcaster GK Barry.
They were soon joined by the first group – former Strictly pro Oti Mabuse, X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos, Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough, Loose Women star Jane and McFly singer Danny Jones. – who made their mark skydiving out of helicopters.
Once everyone was on solid ground, the celebs had to pick a star from the other group to pair up with.
Coleen wound up being picked by Dean, who wasted no time bringing up the Wagatha Christie drama.
“Wagatha Christie you’re coming with me!” Dean announced as he picked his partner.
While Coleen and Dean battled to become the first camp leaders, however, it was actually Tulisa and Alan who won the race to get to camp.
As well as getting to stay in Leader’s Lodge, the pair got to choose which twosome should face the first trial.
Tulisa and Alan decided Danny and Barry would be the unlucky duo to face The Mausoleum of Misery.
While Danny romped home with five stars – and even braved a snake slithering up his shorts – Barry was unsuccessful and got zero stars.
I’m A Celebrity…continues at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
