TV star Coleen Rooney has shared the one thing she wasn't prepared for when she entered the jungle. The Scouse star won the hearts of the nation last year, finishing in second place to McFly singer Danny Jones in and narrowly missing out on the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 2024 crown in December.
Coleen, who has launched her own health and wellbeing range with Applied Nutrition, impressed ITV viewers with her down to earth nature and can do attitude during her time in camp as the mum-of-one took on challenge after challenge and remained unfazed.
But there was one thing that unsettled Coleen as she camped under the stars in Australia. "I had met with the producers and I also knew people who'd previously done the show so I knew [before I signed up] that you couldn't take things in etc," Coleen told the Mirror at the launch of her new collection on Thursday night.
"But the one thing that shocked me was just how real it actually was. I obviously knew you weren't gonna get like extra food and stuff but when we first came in and we couldn't light the fire, I thought maybe someone might come in. You do not see other people unless you go out to do a trial - that's the first time you come into contact with anyone.".
It's no surprise Coleen was ready to take on a Bushtucker Trial after a few days in camp. The star, who was joined by husband Wayne Rooney at her launch in Liverpool, added: "You get bored in there as well, so you want to go out and you want to see other people and do a trial for something to do.".
