Wayne Rooney is set to appear in the next series of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here, which returns to screens next week. Rooney discusses how his family is responding to the news, describing that his sons have had mixed feelings, including embarrassment at the idea of seeing their father take part.
The Manchester Evening News adds detail on one son’s reaction. It reports that Kai Rooney is worried about the stint and that he receives advice from Coleen Rooney. Together, the outlets frame the announcement through the perspective of Rooney’s family, with one emphasising general “mortfied” feelings among his sons and the other focusing on specific concerns and guidance surrounding the upcoming 2026 line-up.
