Coleen Rooney has wished her husband Wayne luck as he heads off to take part in I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!, two years after she reached the final of the show herself.
The 40-year-old, who has been married to the former footballer since 2008, posted a video on her newly-launched TikTok account to address Wayne's upcoming jungle stint.
New TikTok Account
In the video, 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 too."
The couple are parents to Kai, 12, Kit, six, Klay, nine, and Cass, four, and Coleen noted that she and the children are looking forward to jetting out themselves to support Wayne on his jungle journey.
Fan Reaction
Shortly after the video went live, the post quickly notched up 50,000 likes. One fan wrote: "THE QUEEN HAS ARRIVED." Another said: "Don't think I've ever followed someone so quick."
Wayne recently revealed that whilst Coleen may be proud of him, their sons are worried he will embarrass them on national television.
The former England captain, 41, is following in the footsteps of Coleen, 40. Asked whether she was proud of him, he 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."
Family Concerns
He added: "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!"
The sports star has also joked that he has plenty of time on his hands because he has not been "great as a manager", following a series of spells in football management. Wayne, who previously managed Derby County, DC United, Birmingham City and Plymouth Argyle, is looking forward to showing viewers a different side of his personality.
"I hope people will see me for who I am. I like to have fun and I like to think I am actually a fun guy to be around," he said. "I do like to mess around a bit and I do talk a lot. People will have their own opinions, but I hope they will see me as a genuine person."
Facing Fears
He admitted he is nervous about some of the challenges awaiting him, particularly jumping out of a helicopter and coming face to face with snakes. "Jumping out of a helicopter is a big fear. But I hope I do that, because then I will have conquered that fear," he said.
"Snakes? I don't like them, if I'm honest, and I think I am ok with spiders, but they are a lot bigger and scarier there. I will try everything if there is an eating trial. It's about embracing everything."
Rooney said Coleen and friends who have previously appeared on the programme have given him tips, although he is determined to make up his own mind about jungle life, adding: "Yeah, she has told me a bit of advice and I've had friends that have been in it as well. But I suppose you have to experience it yourself, don't you? I'm just looking forward to experiencing it in my own way - I think that's the most important thing."
