Coleen Rooney has joined TikTok to send a good luck message to her husband Wayne as he prepares to enter the Australian jungle for I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! The couple both created accounts on the platform today (Wednesday, November 11), with Wayne part of the 2026 line-up for the ITV reality show.
Wayne has landed in Australia and posted his first video, which was pre-recorded. In it, he said: "Hello everyone, I've been told that I've got to join TikTok and I've also been told that I've got to introduce myself. I am Wayne. I am going in the jungle so I will see you all here when I get back." The caption on the video read: "Well, it's finally happened...Wayne has joined TikTok! Wayne's currently in Australia getting ready to head into the jungle." A montage showcasing his football career then played.
Coleen's Supportive Message
It did not take long for Coleen to follow suit and join the app to support her husband. Speaking to fans, she said: "Hi everyone, I've just seen that Wayne's joined TikTok and I thought, he can't be on TikTok and I'm not. So here I am and you'll be seeing a lot more of me."
She added: "I just want to say a massive good luck to Wayne going in the jungle. I can't believe he's actually going in. But he's there and ready to go, and me and the kids can't wait to watch. I hope you all enjoy it."
Fan Reactions and Line-Up
Fans responded in the comments, with one writing: "Welcome to TikTok the Rooney family." Another said: "Love to you Coleen. I hope Wayne does as good as you did, looking forward to Monday night." A third commented: "So excited. Good luck Wayne."
This year's line-up features two Liverpool-born stars, as Claire Sweeney and Wayne Rooney are both set to enter the iconic Australian jungle. Big Brother presenter AJ Odudu and Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page are also among the famous faces taking on the bushtucker trials.
Family Reactions
Asked whether Coleen was proud of him, Wayne said: "She is obviously. I think because she has done it, she knows what it is, so she knows how difficult it is as well. It will be nice for her to sit down and be invested in it."
However, the couple's four sons — Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass — have had different reactions to the news. Wayne said: "The younger two are very excited. I think my older two are worried that I will embarrass them. I tend to do that a lot when their friends come round (to our house) and I think they are more worried about me embarrassing them!"
I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! will air at 9pm on Monday, November 16.
