I’m A Celebrity’s Coleen Rooney breaks silence on trial exemption rumours

I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! campmate Coleen Rooney has cleared up rumours that she will not be able to take part in certain trials while appearing on the ITV show this year.

The wife of former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, who recently won the high-profile “Wagatha Christie” libel case filed against her by Rebekkah Vardy, joins the lineup alongside contestants such as TikTok star GK Barry and BBC Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough.

In a video message posted before entering the jungle, Rooney said: “I’m really looking forward to doing the trials and there’s been a lot of news saying I am exempt because of various illnesses.

“I can confirm I can do every trial, so I am not excluded from any, and I am looking forward to it.”
