COLEEN Rooney has been tipped to outearn her husband Wayne for the first time ever after I’m A Celebrity.
The 38-year-old is gearing up to leave the jungle after winning a legion of fans thanks to her down-to-earth personality and nerves of steel.
And the star – who made an impressive £1.5 million just to do the show – is set to see her bank balance increase in the coming months, while hubby Wayne is clinging onto his manager job.
Former footy ace Wayne’s is under serious pressure as his team Plymouth Argyle are near the relegation zone and if results don’t improve, he could be sacked.
It’s thought Coleen could bank an impressive £10 million off the back of the show, with a PR expert predicting she could soon become the main breadwinner.
Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, PR expert and Head of Talent at Press Box PR Lynn Carratt speculated: “Coleen is on the brink of becoming the primary earner in her relationship with Wayne for the first time in her career.
Her future earnings are expected to soar after leaving the jungle whether she wins or not
“She made everyone laugh with her Butlins holiday story and the holiday chain are already offering customers a discounted deal if you use her name to book and there is a call for her to become the new face of the company, which could land her a multi-million pound deal.
“Brands will be lining up to work with her when she leaves the jungle, I can see her working with brands like Tesco or Aldi and having a fashion range with someone like Very.”
“She has also become the Ambassador for Applied Nutrition, a collagen supplement. There is even speculation about her hosting a podcast or her own TV show and campmate Alan is keen to get her on Coronation Street. The sky is the limit and she could easily earn up to £10m next year, as she has more time to focus on her career.”
She continued: “ Wayne is currently the manager of Plymouth Argyle, where he’s rumoured to be earning half a million a year. However, his job is on the line due to the team’s ongoing losses, and he has two pivotal games to turn things around, despite only being there for seven months. He’s on a three-year contract worth £1.5 million.
“If he’s sacked early, he’ll receive a payout to compensation for his loss. During the height of his career, Wayne earned £300,000 a week at Man United, and towards the end of his playing career, he received £2.6m a year from DC United.”
Lynn went on to consider Wayne’s next options, saying:“If he were to lose his managerial job, it’s unlikely he’d find another in the UK soon. He could work in Saudi Arabia as a manager but Coleen wouldn’t want to leave the UK again, even though it would be very lucrative.
“He could continue as a football pundit in the UK, where he’s already worked for Sky and TNT and he appears regularly on the Overlap podcast with former teammate Gary Neville. His broadcasting career could earn him in excess of £1.5m a year.”
But she added that is Coleen that now has the most pulling power: “He could also pursue brand deals, like the recent one he did with Boxbollen, although his wife is now likely to command higher fees than him for brand deals.”
COLEEN Rooney has revealed the embarrassing habit hubby Wayne reckons will annoy her I’m A celebrity campmates.
She’s usually preened and perfect – but the WAG has confessed she snores.
Coleen said: “I didn’t think I snored, but Wayne says I snore.
“Not continuously though – just every now and again.
“I have been in the public eye for over 20 years now and people take what they want from it.
“I do think people will get a better idea of what kind of person I am.”
