Coleen Rooney joins TikTok: WAG wishes Wayne 'a massive good luck in the jungle' as she shares first video ahead of I'm A Celeb launch

Coleen Rooney has wished husband Wayne 'a massive good luck in the jungle' as she shared her first TikTok video on Wednesday. 

The WAG, 40, said she 'can't believe' the football legend, 41, is going on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! two years after she came runner-up in the ITV show.

Coleen said she and their four sons Kai, 17, Klay, 13, Kit, 10, and Cass, eight, are excited to watch how Wayne gets on. 

Speaking to the camera in a candid video, Coleen said: 'Hi everyone, I've just seen that Wayne's 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.'

A montage of her recently glamorous work events played before she went on to wish husband Wayne luck on the ITV show.  

Coleen continued: 'I just wanna say a massive good luck to Wayne going into the jungle, I can't believe he's actually going in, but he's there and ready to go and me and the kids can't wait to watch. I hope you all enjoy it too.' 

The message was followed by a video of her jungle highlights from 2024, where she was seen taking part in several bushtucker trials, and a few loved-up clips of Wayne and Coleen together. 

Earlier in the day, Wayne also joined TikTok, he said: 'Hello everyone, I've been told I need to join TikTok and I've also been told I've got to introduce myself so, I'm Wayne. 

'I am going in the jungle, so I will see you all on here when I get back.' 

Alongside the video, a montage of Wayne's incredible football highlights was played.  

Bosses have reportedly offered Wayne more than his wife, who made a record-breaking £1.5million for her jungle stint.

Wayne will appear alongside Joanna Page, Ade Adepitan, Sharky, Chloe Burrows, Ricky Wilson, AJ Odudu, Claire Sweeney, Jack Skipper, Mariella Frostrup and Leomie Anderson. Leigh Francis is expected to be a late arrival. 

Wayne said: 'This is probably the biggest exposure I've ever had, being on TV every night for three weeks. 

'I hope people see I am a genuine person,' said Wayne, adding that he is a 'fun guy' who enjoys 'pranks'.

The sportsman has looked noticeably slimmer in recent months after overhauling his lifestyle.

Speaking to the Daily Mail last month, Wayne shared that he 'worked really hard' to lose weight in the gym, and laughed off the idea he'd used jabs. 

Asked to share the secret to his weight loss, he said: 'Apparently I've seen recently I've been taking this pen thing about me. It's a shame, because I'm working really hard to lose weight. Apparently I've been on the pen.'

Since his career pivot, which has seen him leave football management behind for punditry, podcasting and TV work, Rooney has focused more on his health and family life.

'I've found more balance,' he said, adding that 'it's helped me get back to a much better place'.

He continued: 'When I stopped playing, I got in a rut, I was drinking too much and not getting into the routine of training and I just thought, "You know what I want to enjoy the time with the kids whilst they're at this age, and with Coleen as well and I actually have been more present, more there for them".'

Wayne also revealed that his wife Coleen was the one who encouraged him to go under the knife for his recent nose job, after he broke it while playing for DC United in the US.

Coleen added: 'I tried to get him to do it because of his snoring,' while her husband clarified: 'I couldn't blow one side out of my nose and so I had it fixed.'

Wayne revealed that he was feeling 'a little bit uncomfortable' following the surgery.

He said: 'It's actually really lucky I've got no black eyes, but I've still got two plastic tubes up my nose, which are coming out very soon. I can't wait for them to come out.

'So, they've cut here [under my nostrils]... So, that's all stitched – a little bit uncomfortable.'

Wayne has already emerged as the early favourite to win this year's show. 

According to odds by William Hill, the sports star is already in the lead to be crowned King of the Jungle, with his odds at 11/4.
