Wayne Rooney has admitted he will 'be boring to watch' on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, revealing his love of sleep before heading into the jungle.
The former Manchester United striker follows his wife Coleen, who finished second in 2024, while bookmakers already make him the favourite to win this year's series.
Rooney's Sleep Confession
Speaking on his podcast The Wayne Rooney Show, joined by Coleen and 2024 King of the Jungle Danny Jones, the 41-year-old said he would 'be boring to watch' due to his passion for sleeping.
Wayne said: "Someone would have to wake me up, otherwise I'd just go the whole day." Coleen added: "He slept for, I think, maybe two days solid one time. My brothers came round and said 'is he still in bed?'. They had to go up and say 'are you okay?'"
Wayne continued: "Oh yeah, I love sleep, see I think I'd be quite boring to watch." His guests then spoke about what he can expect from the trials, saying they don't think Wayne will 'enjoy the constant stopping and starting.'
First Trip to Australia
Wayne was recently spotted arriving in Brisbane, admitting it was his very first trip Down Under. The football star remained tight-lipped when quizzed about entering the camp, though he flashed a knowing grin at the mention of potential jungle karaoke sessions.
Wayne is dad to his four sons Kai, 16, Klay, 13, Kit, ten, and Cass, eight, and wants to make them proud by taking on the show's notorious Bushtucker Trials.
Line-Up and Start Date
The ITV show returns to screens on Monday, November 16, where Wayne will be joined by a star-studded line-up ready to take on life down under, including fellow Liverpool actress Claire Sweeney.
Other stars joining Wayne and Claire in the jungle include Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page, Big Brother presenter AJ Odudu, Paralympian and TV presenter Ade Adepitan, singer Ricky Wilson, YouTuber Sharky, reality star Chloe Burrows, Loose Women star Mariella Frostrup, model Leomie Anderson and TV star Leigh Francis, better known as "Keith Lemon".
