Wayne Rooney arrives in Australia ahead of I’m A Celebrity 2026, Digi Mart USA News (Brisbane, Australia): Wayne Rooney kept it short and sweet as he was questioned on his arrival in Australia amid rumors he is set to take part in this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
The Manchester United and England footballing legend is expected to follow his wife, Coleen, into the jungle after she finished as runner-up in the 2024 series of the hit ITV reality show. After being spotted at Manchester Airport on Sunday, November 8, Rooney, 41, touched down in Australia on Monday, November 9.
He gave little away when he landed at Brisbane Airport, saying, “I’ve never been to Australia.” He remained tight-lipped when asked whether he was looking forward to the jungle, but smiled when asked if he was looking forward to jungle karaoke.
Rooney is appearing two years after Coleen won over millions of viewers on the ITV show. The pundit, who has enjoyed a successful career as a football pundit following spells in management, is thought to be the biggest name in this year’s line-up.
His arrival comes after months of negotiations with ITV bosses, who believe he could prove every bit as popular as his wife, who finished runner-up in 2024.
Bookmakers also have him as the firm favourite. The former England captain is understood to be particularly keen to impress his four sons, Kai, 16, Klay, 13, Kit, 10, and Cass, 8, by taking on the show’s notorious Bushtucker Trials.
He will also have no shortage of advice from Coleen, 40, who became a firm favourite with viewers during her own stint in camp.
Rooney has previously shown his enthusiasm for the programme, publicly supporting Coleen during her time in Australia and even encouraging viewers to vote for her to face a Bushtucker Trial. Other reported stars in the line-up include Coronation Street star Claire Sweeney, Gavin & Stacey star Joanna Page, TV presenter and former Paralympian Ade Adepitan, Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson, and Love Islander Chloe Burrows.
