ITV bosses are eager to get Wayne Rooney in Australia to feature on I’m A Celebrity in a surprise reunion with his wife Coleen Rooney

Itv chiefs are reportedly eager for Wayne Rooney to make a cameo during the I’m A Celebrity series while his wife Coleen Ronney is in the jungle.

Insiders reveal that producers are devising strategies to involve the former footballer, following the popularity of segments featuring Coleen discussing her marriage.

They’re considering reviving a challenge that allows contestants to win brief calls from relatives, potentially putting Wayne on the other end of the iconic red phonebox call.

Anticipation also builds around the prospect of Wayne penning the heartfelt letter traditionally sent to finalists or even delivering a video message alongside their children if Coleen reaches the last leg of the competition.

An insider disclosed: “Bosses like to keep the contestants isolated from the outside world as much as possible.

“But towards the end of the series they will offer up little prizes which allow access to loved ones like the letters from home and sometimes calls from home and maybe even videos could happen.”

The source added: “People loved it when Harry Redknapp was reunited with his wife Sandra in camp.

“That can’t happen as Wayne isn’t going to Australia so they are looking at other options to get him involved as they know it would be a big hit with viewers and Coleen,” reports the Mirror.

Reality TV star Coleen has delightedly shared her most cherished item in the jungle camp a pillow adorned with a treasured family photo featuring her husband and their four children.
