Coleen Rooney is being cheered on by friends and family back home as she sleeps under the stars in the Australian jungle in this year’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, but her husband Wayne won’t be watching on Friday as he has other priorities.
The former footballer is now manager at Plymouth Argyle, and they have a home game with a late kick-off at 8pm on Friday 22 November against Watford so he will be mid-game when the latest episode airs on ITV.
Wayne has spoken out about not being happy with this situation, but not for the fact he will miss the live episode.
The match was originally due to take place on Saturday afternoon, and the decision to bring it forward is what Wayne has aired his grievances about, as it has left him less time to prepare and many of his players are only just returning from international duties.
In an interview with Plymouth Live, he said: “Of course, it’s not ideal, and we know Watford are having the same problem from that point of view, and they obviously have to travel as well. I think it’s crazy to have the game on a Friday but it’s something we have to deal with, and we have prepared for it as best we can.”

Speaking to Strictly’s Oti Mabuse, she said: “Since the first mistake he’s made, that’s been in the public, people have not forgiven.

“It has been difficult, but we’re happy now, after all those years… we’re a team.”
Coleen’s family support

“Ah cool dude, he’s his mam’s double!” wrote one follower, and many agreed that he is her double!
