Coleen Rooney Hits the Jungle with a Mega Paycheck!
Coleen Rooney, the reigning queen of WAG drama and illustrious wife to football royalty Wayne Rooney, has officially made it into the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! fold with a jaw-dropping sum that would leave even the world’s biggest divas green with envy. A staggering paycheck reported to be over £1 million has turned heads—because honestly, what’s more impressive than cashing in while pretending to be scared of a few spiders in the Australian outback?
However, not everything is sunshine and kangaroo sausages for Coleen. News flash: she’s been exempt from some of the notoriously cringe-worthy trials due to her ongoing battle with reactive arthritis. Now, isn’t that just a slippery slope? While I respect medical grounds, I can’t help but wonder if the show’s producers will be serving her a side of controversy that pairs well with her pay packet!
From WAG to Jungle Queen
Initially pegged as the potential queen of the jungle, Coleen’s odds of winning have plummeted to 10/1 as other contestants strut in with more chance of grabbing that coveted crown. Bookies have Danny Jones from McFly leading the pack at 5/2, with Alan Halsall from Corrie nipping at his heels at 5/1. Meanwhile, Maura Higgins makes a lively entrance with odds of 6/1. Is it me, or are all these odds starting to sound like a particularly peculiar bingo night?
What’s perhaps most amusing is that the tension is palpable. Coleen, with her hefty sum cushioning her, might just rustle some feathers in the camp—think snacks, gossip, and maybe a cheeky bit of tea about her infamous run-in with Rebekah Vardy, or as I like to call it, the Wagatha Christie drama. If there’s ever been a reality show with a plot twist, this has all the ingredients for a hit!
Shift in Focus—Could it Be?
As noted by PR wizard Lynn Carratt, Coleen may be making a strategic move to reposition herself after years of prioritizing Wayne’s illustrious yet bumpy football career. With four children growing up, perhaps she’s seizing the moment now to snag a cut of that reality TV pie. Experts suggest she could pocket a whopping £5 million in brand deals if she plays her cards right. So, expect to see a “Coleen’s Back!” fashion edit on every high street’s mind shortly.
And while we are at it, let’s not forget how ITV is counting on Coleen to spice things up this season. The jungle bosses are convinced she’ll bring more than just her designer clothes to the campfire chats. Perhaps a couple of bombshells about the ongoing saga with the Vardy crew and her whirlwind marriage dynamics that often read like a soap opera script?
Conclusion: The Jungle Awaits!
As Coleen prepares to trade her luxury for the wilderness, we can only sit back and watch how this new chapter unfolds. Whether she emerges a fierce survivor or simply another campfire tale, one thing’s for sure: reality TV continues to entertain us all in the most outrageous ways possible.
With the chance of witnessing a full-on WAG throwdown in the jungle, I can hear the popcorn popping already! May the best celebrity win—though I suspect the real winners here are the producers calling the shots behind the scenes. Cheers to a season filled with laughs, drama, and more than a sprinkle of cheekiness!
COLEEN Rooney is reportedly set to make history as the highest-paid contestant ever on the popular ITV reality show, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

Last week, it surfaced that the wife of former England football star Wayne Rooney has been sidelined from the challenges due to her battle with reactive arthritis, a revelation that has not been met kindly by the show’s followers.
However, it seems the betting odds have dramatically shifted against her with bookies Ladbrokes revealing that the 38-year-old is not the favorite among viewers anymore.
Initially seen as a potential winner, her odds have dropped to 10/1, while fellow contestants like Maura Higgins have gained recognition and popularity.
Current betting figures place McFly’s Danny Jones ahead at 5/2 with Corrie’s Alan Halsall trailing just behind at 5/1, and Maura Higgins sitting at 6/1.
Insiders within the industry suspect Maura and Danny are the emerging contenders to beat in this season’s competition.
Nicole McGeady from Ladbrokes commented: “We thought Coleen would attract widespread support, yet that has not materialized as the show progresses. Instead, bettors are increasingly betting on Danny Jones and Maura Higgins as frontrunners.”
Coleen’s staggering fee for participating in the show is now considered one of the highest in the show’s history, surpassing Nigel Farage’s striking £1.5 million agreement last year.
ITV executives reportedly hope that Coleen might share insights about her highly publicized fallout with fellow WAG, Rebekah Vardy, a storyline that captivated the nation.
PR expert Lynn Carratt shared that Coleen is eager to reignite her professional career, especially as her four children grow and require less individual attention.
Experts predict that if Coleen navigates her reality stint successfully, she could potentially earn as much as £5 million from brand endorsements and advertising opportunities that may arise.
Lynn said, “Coleen could certainly net around £5 million if she aligns with the right fashion and family brands.” She previously garnered £3 million from Asda for a campaign in 2010 and $2 million from Littlewoods.
Meanwhile, a television source expressed that producers are elated to have Coleen on board this season. “The I’m A Celeb team views landing Coleen as a monumental win, and they are ecstatic to showcase her in the jungle,” they declared.
“With Coleen being a long-time fan of the show, her presence is anticipated to enliven the series. ITV is overjoyed to have her participate this year.”
Coleen leaves her four sons—Kai, 14, Klay, 11, Kit, 8, and Cass, 6—and husband Wayne behind as she sets off for Australia to join the lineup on the award-winning show.
As her husband Wayne now juggles family life and his managerial role with Plymouth Argyle, Coleen finds herself more available than ever to focus on her career avenues.
Y and Maura as the favorites.”
The shifting dynamics in the camp have certainly played a role in reshaping public opinion. Fans are noticing the camaraderie forming among contestants and how well they are engaging in the challenges, which is essential in a competition like I’m A Celebrity. With Coleen mostly sidelined and her health issues becoming a talking point, it’s no wonder audiences have shifted their allegiances.
As the competition heats up, viewers are in for a treat, with the potential for drama, alliances, and maybe even some unexpected friendships. Though Coleen came in with high expectations and a hefty paycheck, it seems the realities of jungle life may not be aligning with her plans. Still, her experience in the public eye and her knack for captivating storytelling could mean some compelling moments ahead—whether they come from gossip or heartfelt chats around the campfire.
Ultimately, as we tune in to the latest episodes, we can only wonder: will the odds continue to shift, or will Coleen make a comeback as the dark horse of the season? The jungle awaits, and it never fails to deliver a spectacle filled with surprises!
