COLEEN Rooney will tonight be seen desperately trying not to vomit during I’m A Celebrity after being handed a fishbowl of crocodile anus to drink.
The WAG, 38, was presented with the grim and blended concoction for the latest Bushtucker Trial – Dreaded Dregs.
Coleen is competing with Reverend Richard Coles in the trial, which will air in tonight’s I’m A Celebrity, and she can be seen going green at the gills in this sneak peek clip.
Host Declan Donnelly tells Coleen and Richard: “This is a fish bowl…well, it’s more of a sick bowl actually.
“It contains blended giant meal worms, Surströmming [fermented herring] crocodile anus and vomit fruit. All blended together.”
Co-host Ant McPartlin adds: “It’s like the worst of the worst.”
He then looks at Coleen’s disgusted face and says: “Coleen, you don’t like the look of it?”
Screwing up her nose, the mum-of-four tells Ant: “No, and I don’t like the smell of it.”
Richard lifts the giant drink up for them but, as Coleen goes to take a sip on her straw, she retches.
“Urghhhhhh!” she groans.
Dec asks her: “What does it smell of?”
“Every dirty thing going,” Coleen replies.
Coleen and Richard took on Dreaded Dregs to win meal stars for camp.
Meanwhile, putting the vile trial to one side, Friday night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity is also set to be a real tear jerker for Coleen.
The Sun has revealed how Coleen will get a surprise visit from her sons Kit, eight, and six-year-old Cass, in the Aussie camp.
Coleen’s mum, Colette McLoughlin, will also pay her a visit.
Last month, we revealed that ITV bosses had made plans for a friends and families special episode.
The special would air once camp was down to five or six celebrity contestants.
The remaining campmates stand at six, with Coleen, Richard, Alan Halsall, GK Barry, Oti Mabuse and Danny Jones left.
Sources previously said Coleen, who is the wife of footie legend Wayne, 39, will be a “blubbering mess” when reunited with her boys.
i'm A Celebrity is back for its 24th series, with a batch of famous faces living in the Aussie jungle. The Sun's Jake Penkethman takes a look at the stars on the show this year..
Coleen Rooney – Arguably the most famous name in the camp, the leading WAG, known for her marriage to Wayne Rooney, has made a grand return to TV as she looks to put the Wagatha Christie scandal behind her. The Sun revealed the mum-of-four had bagged an eye-watering deal worth over £1.5million to be on the show this year making her the highest-paid contestant ever.
Tulisa – The popstar and former X Factor judge has made her triumphant TV comeback by signing up to this year’s I’m A Celeb after shunning TV shows for many years. Known for being a member of the trio, N-Dubz, Tulisa became a household name back in 2011 when she signed on to replace Cheryl on ITV show The X Factor in a multi-million pound deal.
Alan Halsall – The actor, known for playing the long-running role of Tyrone Dobbs on ITV soap opera Coronation Street, was originally signed up to head Down Under last year but an operation threw his scheduled appearance off-course. Now he has become the latest Corrie star to win over both the viewers and his fellow celebrities.
Melvin Odoom – The Radio DJ has become a regular face on TV screens after rising to fame with presenting roles on Kiss FM, BBC Radio 1 and 4Music. Melvin has already been for a spin on the Strictly dancefloor and co-hosted The Xtra Factor with Rochelle Humes in 2015 but now he is facing up to his biggest challenge yet – the Aussie jungle.
GK Barry – The UK’s biggest social media personality, GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, has transformed her TikTok stardom into a lucrative career. Aside from her popular social media channels, she hosts the weekly podcast, Saving Grace, and regularly appears on ITV talk show, Loose Women. She has even gone on to endorse popular brands such as PrettyLittleThing, KFC and Ann Summers.
Dean McCullough – A rising star amongst this year’s bunch of celebs, Dean first achieved notability through his radio appearances on Gaydio and BBC Radio 1. He was chosen to join the BBC station permanently in 2021 and has featured prominently ever since. He has enjoyed a crossover to ITV over the past year thanks to his guest slots on Big Brother spin-off show, Late & Live.
Oti Mabuse – The pro dancer has signed up to her latest TV show after making her way through the biggest programmes on the box. She originally found fame on Strictly Come Dancing but has since branched out into the world of TV judging with appearances on former BBC show The Greatest Dancer as well as her current role on ITV’s Dancing On Ice.
Danny Jones – The McFly star was drafted into the programme last minute as a replacement for Tommy Fury. Danny is the second member of McFly to enter the jungle, after Dougie Poynter won the show in 2011. He is also considered a rising star on ITV as he’s now one of the mentors on their Saturday night talent show, The Voice, along with bandmate Tom Fletcher.
Jane Moore – The Loose Women star and The Sun columnist is braving the creepy crawlies this year. The star is ready for a new challenge – having recently split from her husband. It will be Jane’s first foray into reality TV with the telly favourite having always said no to reality shows in the past.
Barry McGuigan – Former pro boxer Barry is the latest fighting champ to head Down Under following in the footsteps of Tony Bellew and Amir Khan. It comes after a tough few years for Irish star Barry, who lost his daughter Danika to bowel cancer. He told The Late Late Show in 2021: “She was such an intrinsic part of the family that every day we ache.”
Maura Higgins – The Irish TV beauty first found fame on Love Island where she found a brief connection with dancer Curtis Pritchard. Since then, she has competed on Dancing On Ice as well as hosting the Irish version of the beauty contest, Glow Up. Since last year, she has been working on building up her career in the US by being the social media correspondent and host of Aftersun to accompany Love Island USA. She even guest hosted an episode of the spin-off, Love Island Games, in place of Maya Jama last year.
Rev. Richard Coles – Former BBC radio host the Rev Richard Coles is a late arrival on I’m A Celebrity, and he’s ready to spill the beans on his former employer. The former Communards and Strictly star, said the BBC did not know its a**e from its elbow last year. An insider said: “Rev Coles will have a variety of tales to tell from his wild days as a pop star in the Eighties, through to performing on Strictly and his later life as a man of the cloth.”
The doting mum has been wearing a necklace with hers and Wayne’s four sons’ names on and she touches it on screen to let them know she is thinking of them.
Before entering the camp, Coleen explained that eldest sons, Kai, 15, and Klay, 11, would stay home while Kit and Cass would travel with her mum to meet her when she leaves.
She said: “My two youngest ones are coming over.
“They all had the option but the two older ones decided that they would stay at home to continue with school and football.
“I think I said, ‘When you come, you’ll have to bring your work with you’, and that they would be missing some football tournaments, so they quickly changed their minds!”
Friends and relatives of stars were sneaked into camp in last year’s show for the first time since 2018.
