COLEEN Rooney will show her mettle in tonight’s episode of I am a Celeb, as she faces her first bushtucker trial, which will see her crawling with bugs, rats and cockroaches to get those much needed stars.
The WAG, 38, will face the trial alongside flagging Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough, for whom this will be his forth test on the ITV show.
But in the early footage that’s been released Coleen look resilient and completely unfazed by the creepy crawlies, as she pulls a cockroach out of her mouth while battling to unscrew the stars from the side of the of the box.
Meanwhile Dean’s track record with trials so far has been a little shifty, as he’s had to quit early, on three occasions, shouting: “I am a Celebrity get me out of here.”
During Thursday night’s episode, the Northern Irish star, let his campmates down, after he failed to secure all the stars needed for a decent meal.
This bail out came just days after he cried for help and quit after being locked in a mummy figurine filling up with sand, in the Sinister Sarocophagus challenge.
Meanwhile Coleen’s husband Wayne and their four sons, will be pleased to see their mum in the hotseat tonight, after Wayne said they’d voted for her to do a trial, after seeing Dean’s incompetence.
Speaking on the ITV2 I am a Celeb spin off show, he said: “ I’d love to see her do a trial. I’m sure part of the experience of going out there and being part of the show is to do the trials and to test yourself,” Wayne said.
“So obviously, I think Dean doing the trials at the minute is not doing so well. So, I’d love to see Colleen do one, because, I suppose, it’s part of the experience, and I think she’d be great as well. I think she’d be, she’d be really good at the trials.”
The football legend also admitted that the family are big fans of the show and the couple had always vowed that of all the reality shows, ITV’s I am a Celeb would be the one for them.
He said: “”We always said that if we were ever going to do one, that’s the one we’d do. And obviously Coleen’s gone out there to test herself.”
Previously Coleen confirmed before entering the jungle that Wayne would not be there to meet her in Australia.
At the moment, he splits his time between their Cheshire home and Plymouth, where he works as the football club’s manager.
Her oldest two boys will also not be joining her due to school obligations, but the younger two of her four children will make the trip.
