Coleen Rooney’s Trump Encounter: Dirtier Than We’d Imagined?
The latest episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! has introduced us to a delightful slice of pop culture absurdity, courtesy of Coleen Rooney, who recently let it be known that she thinks Donald Trump is a “dirty bastard.” And who could blame her? After being summoned to the White House for Christmas, one would hope for more than just a family photo shoot with the orange overlord himself.
“When we lived in America, we got invited to the White House for Christmas and we went in to meet Donald Trump,” Rooney recounted, setting the stage for what was presumably a festive white elephant gift exchange that went horribly wrong.
Picture this: the Rooney family, all smiles and ready for some holiday cheer, only to be greeted by a remark that could only come from Trump. “See? Told you, all the soccer players get the good-looking girls.” Cue the eyerolls. Understandably, Coleen was left feeling a bit dirty herself, promptly revealing her thoughts to her mother in a statement as timeless as a classic sitcom line: “dirty bastard.” And can we just take a moment to appreciate the unintentional comedy gold of that phrase? It’s one part bewilderment, two parts cheekiness, and a generous dusting of Scouse attitude.
But wait, there’s more! The ex-President apparently had grand plans to have Wayne Rooney train his son in football — presumably to help him score points with less-motivated players. Because hey, what does one do when your kid can’t score touchdowns in the playground? Call in a football legend! Oh, the unsolicited life coaching suggestions from a man who prides himself on being a ‘winner!’ Makes you wonder if Wayne left a lasting impression on little Barron Trump. “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take,” and all that, right?
The conversation took a delightful turn when, after admitting just how orange Trump truly was, Danny Jones of McFly fame chimed in. “Is he that orange?” To which Rooney confidently confirmed: “He was very orange.” Hold the presses! Only in the realm of reality television could a conversation about former presidents devolve into a heated debate about skin tone, but here we are—witnessing a truly majestic cultural moment.
But while politics reign supreme in one corner of the camp, it’s not all about the former POTUS, is it? Let’s talk about the serious business at hand: the Bushtucker Trial! In classic reality show style, viewers were treated to the sight of Coleen braving the Australian jungle, which, for those playing at home, is less “I’m A Celebrity!” and more “please send help!” Imagine being trapped in a box alongside cockroaches, crickets, and rats — all while Dean McCullough rummages around for tools to save you like a modern-day Indiana Jones. Will we consider this the ultimate test of marital endurance? Absolutely.
Rooney’s response to the chaos? “That is my way of coping, silence, the silent treatment.” Let’s be honest: we’ve all had those moments where life gets a bit too wild, and the best course of action is to just shut the hell up and hope it ends soon. But Coleen? She didn’t just endure; she emerged triumphant, bringing home nine stars, or as we like to call them, “no time for chit-chat; we’re here to win!” Talk about turning jungle antics into family pride — one bug at a time!
Meanwhile, on the reality TV magic scale, Maura Higgins cranked it up to eleven with stories of revenge against her ex-boyfriend’s toothbrush! You’ve got to admire the sheer spontaneity and determination — who knew dental hygiene could serve as a weapon for emotional warfare? If “fierce” were a person, it would BE Maura Higgins armed with nothing but minty fresh rage.
It’s safe to say, I’m A Celebrity continues to deliver everything we didn’t know we needed, and Coleen Rooney’s slice of orange-tinted drama is just the cherry on top. Keep those Sunday night episodes coming, ITV! Because what else would we do? Watch less ridiculous television? Not bloody likely!
Catch I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! at 9 pm on ITV1, STV, and ITVX. Who knows what hilarity will ensue next?
Coleen Rooney has publicly slammed Donald Trump, labeling him a “dirty bastard” during a recent episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, as she recounted a specific comment he made about her during their encounter.
The 38-year-old television personality reflected on her memorable meeting with the former President of the United States while she and her husband, former England football captain Wayne Rooney, were residing in the U.S. during Sunday’s episode.
Recalling the occasion with her fellow campmates, she explained, “When we lived in America, we received a special invitation to the White House for Christmas, and we had the unique opportunity to meet Donald Trump.”
Continuing her story, Rooney shared, “As part of the visit, we were required to pose for the official photograph in front of the grand Christmas tree.”
During the photo session, she heard Trump say to his son, “See? Told you, all the soccer players get the good-looking girls.” This comment prompted Rooney’s candid reaction: “And I told my mum, I was like ‘dirty bastard’.”
In a surprising twist, she also revealed that Trump expressed interest in having Wayne teach his son how to play football, showing a personal interest in their athletic background.
Afterward, campmate Danny Jones quizzed her, “Is he that orange?”, to which she affirmed, “He was very orange.”
In a further highlight from Sunday’s episode, Rooney participated in an intense Bushtucker Trial just one day after her husband Wayne had taken to social media to encourage viewers to vote for her to take on challenges.
Proud of his wife’s resilience in the Australian jungle, Wayne admitted he and their four sons—Kai Wayne, Klay Anthony, Kit Joseph, and Cass Mac—would “love” to see her tackle a trial.
As she prepared for the Absolute Carnage trial, Coleen expressed a mix of nerves and excitement, stating, “I’m a bit scared of the unknown, but I’m excited for my boys back home just to see me do something. Hopefully I’m going to do well; I’m going to try my best.”
The trial put her to the ultimate test as she found herself trapped in a box inside a car packed with an array of creepy crawlies, including cockroaches, crickets, giant mealworms, and rats.
Assisting her during this daunting experience was her fellow campmate, BBC Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough, who had to navigate a garage area filled with various insects to retrieve tools for Rooney, which she would use to unlock stars hidden in the box.
Ultimately, the duo succeeded in securing nine stars for their camp, and the show’s hosts, Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, praised Rooney for her composed demeanor, referring to her as “very calm, very quiet, you just got on with it.”
Liverpool-born Rooney responded thoughtfully, saying, “That is my way of coping, silence, the silent treatment.”
It was revealed at the end of the episode that Dean McCullough will be taking on another challenge during Monday’s episode, creating anticipation among viewers.
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX, promising more thrilling adventures ahead.
