Man United legend Wayne Rooney has teased he would like to go into the ITV I'm A Celebrity...
Get Me Out Of Here jungle after he helped get wife Coleen Rooney voted for the next 'bushtucker trial'. The cameras are firmly fixed on the Rooney clan at present. Man United 's all-time top goalscorer is currently being filmed for a new documentary charting his first season as manager of Championship side Plymouth Argyle, while his wife Coleen has now been in the I'm A Celeb jungle for over a week .
Whilst managing Argyle, Rooney has been watching from the UK and on Saturday made a call-in appearance to the spin-off show I'm A Celeb Unpacked. There, he praised his wife for showing her true self to the world and even admitted Man United supporters could one day see him on the show.

Obviously we have work and it is something we do annually. We watch all the shows but I think the [I'm A] Celebrity is the best one, to be honest. It is the one we've said if we were ever gonna do one, that's the one we'd do and obviously Coleen's gone out there to test herself.
" Presenter Joel Dommett picked up on the fact he said 'we' and teased his future appearance in the jungle, so Rooney admitted: "Maybe, if I am not working it is something I would like to do but obviously that's not possible." Before Saturday's episode, Coleen had not been voted to fight for the campmate's food in a 'bushtucker trial', but a heartfelt plea on social media from Rooney has now changed that. On X , the ex-Man United star wrote: "Proud of @ColeenRoo on @imacelebrity she’s doing great (heart emoji).
Me and the boys would love to see her doing a trial and we know she’d want to put herself to the test. If you can download the #ImACeleb app and let’s get voting!" At the end of the latest show, hosts Ant and Dec went into the camp to announce Coleen had been voted by the public to take part in the trial named Absolute Carnage in tomorrow's episode. The former Old Trafford star then followed up: "Think I could be in trouble here (facepalm emoji) Good luck @ColeenRoo (laughing emoji, fingers crossed emoji).
