Wayne Rooney, 40, is reported to be in advanced talks with the producers of Î’m A Celebrity to appear in this year’s series. The reports describe the potential move as one of the show’s biggest signings.

The coverage links the development to Rooney’s wife, Coleen Rooney, who previously appeared on Î’m A Celebrity and was said to have secured a £1.5 million deal for her stint. The outlets characterize Rooney’s possible participation as following that precedent.

Across the sources, the main emphasis is on the reported status of negotiations (“advanced talks”) and on claims about the scale of the signing. None of the articles provide additional verified details, such as a confirmed booking date or contractual terms, and the reporting remains framed as speculative at this stage.
