I’m a Celebrity contestant, Coleen Rooney has opened up on how her footballer husband, Wayne, proposed to her and the one thing she was glad that he didn’t do.
Rooney, 38, is reportedly the highest-paid star in the history of the ITV show and is currently one the favourites to win the contest, along with Danny Jones and Reverend Richard Coles.
Sunday’s episode, saw the celebrities given an opportunity to win their letters from home by identifying a secret sentimental phrase from their loved ones, that would be mouthed to them by their chosen fellow camp mate.
The words that Wayne chose for Coleen were “petrol station,” a clear nod to the place where he proposed to her in 2003, when they were both still teenagers.
Following the “Letters from Home” challenge, Richard quizzed Coleen on Wayne’s proposal in a petrol station with a £46,000 emerald-cut diamond ring.
She shared: “I knew it was gonna happen but I definitely didn’t know it was gonna be in a petrol station, but I’m glad we didn’t do it in a restaurant, to be honest with you.
Rooney then added: “We were only young, so we went back and had corned beef hash instead!”
Richard spoke about his wedding, where he got married in a registry office, as he also shared his husband’s prized possession, adding: “and then he got a new car and that night I crashed it! I drove it through a hedge into a ditch!”
Not long after, the camp learned they’d be tucking into emu sausages for dinner, as Tulisa and GK got to work cooking up a storm in the camp kitchen. Sitting down together, a happy camp ensued, as they all tucked into a hearty portion.
