Rooney's red face before I'm A Celeb jungle stint

Wayne Rooney's face is noticeably red after catching the sun in Australia, where he is spending his final days before entering the I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here jungle.

The football legend is one of eleven celebrities signed up for three weeks of sleepless nights and bushtucker trials, all hoping to be crowned jungle king or queen.

Last Days of Luxury

The Sun reported that a source said: "Wayne is enjoying his last few nights of luxury before entering the camp. He's caught a bit of the sun, which has been a treat given the rain has been on and off since he arrived. Wayne's staying in a really nice hotel and will certainly miss it when he's sleeping in a hammock."

In preparation for his jungle stint, Wayne has joined the social media platform TikTok and gained a whopping 56,000 followers just three hours after his account went live.

TikTok Debut

His first video was also quickly viewed almost a million times. In the clip, Wayne wore a cream shirt and addressed the camera, his face looking a little more red than normal.

The footballer 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'm Wayne. I'm going in the jungle so I'll see you all on here when I get back!"

Coleen Follows Suit

His wife Coleen, who went into the jungle back in 2024, followed suit and also joined TikTok with an incredible 22,000 fans in just under two hours.

In her own clip, Coleen said: "Hi, everyone, I've just seen that Wayne has 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."

"I just want to say a massive good luck to Wayne going in the jungle. I can't believe that he's actually going in."

"He's there and ready to go and me and the kids can't wait to watch, I hope you all enjoy it too."

Wayne will appear on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, Monday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
