As the excitement builds for the final of I’m A Celebrity tonight, Coleen Rooney’s footballed husband Wayne Rooney took to his social media to share a video asking the show’s fans for vote for her as jungle Queen. Sat in their £20m Cheshire home, Wayne was joined by the couple’s eldest son Kai, 15, and 11-year-old Klay as he spoke about their mum and urged viewers to vote for her ahead of tonight’s final (Sunday, December 8).
The adorable video kicks off with Klay, dressed in a Manchester United football strip, who says: “Hi mum, I just want to wish you good luck in the final. Hopefully you can bring the win home. Good luck!”. He’s then followed by Wayne and Coleen’s eldest son Kai, who has followed in his dad’s sporting footsteps and currently plays as a midfielder in Manchester United’s youth academy. “Hi mum… excited to watch tonight,” he says. “You’ve shown everyone who you really are and you’ve done us all proud, and we all love you so much.”

Liverpool-born Coleen is currently waiting to hear whether she’ll beat off competition from McFly’s Danny Jones and author and radio host Reverend Richard Coles to be crowned the 2024 I’m A Celebrity winner. While the bookies’ odds currently have Danny as favourite (he’s at 4/9, while Coleen’s odds are 9/4, and Richard comes in at 12/1), Wayne urged viewers to do their bit to help her take the crown.
“Hi Col, we just want to wish you all the best in the final tonight, we’ve all been so proud of you. You’ve shown everyone who you really are and your character. So everyone who watches this video please go and vote for Coleen, one last push to try and get her to come home as Queen of the Jungle.”

Alex Apati, of Ladbrokes bookkeepers, said Wayne might have his work cut out as “Danny couldn’t be in a better position, as far as the odds are concerned”. “with just three names still standing, punters are convinced he’s done enough to see off the chasing pack for this year’s jungle crown,” he added.
Meanwhile, ex-I’m A Celeb contestant and Coleen’s Wagatha Christie nemesis Rebekah Vardy and shared her insights about who could take home the win, and toned down some of her previous opinions about the campmates. “A lot of people are saying Danny, while others say the Reverend deserves to win,” she told The Sun.

“And do you know what? I guess he probably does. It would be amazing for his career. Danny has an amazing fan base behind him. He’s had success in his own right. Coleen, again, has had success in her own right as well. She’s well known.
“So, I would say the Reverend probably deserves to win out of everyone, but I think Danny might just pip him. But tonight, we will see. I think it’s going to be really, really close. Good luck to them! “.
