I’m A Celeb’s Coleen Rooney leaves GK Barry shocked as she reveals husband Wayne’s VERY romantic gesture ‘to maintain their relationship alive’

I’m A Celebrity‘s Coleen Rooney left campmate GK Barry stunned as she revealed the very romantic gesture husband Wayne does ‘to keep their romance alive’.

During Thursday night’s episode, Coleen, 38, shared Wayne’s habit of writing her a poem as she opened up about her relationship.

Although she couldn’t remember the last time he gave her one, Coleen said Wayne likes to write her a love letter on the hotel note pads and gives it to her when he gets home. 

She said: ‘Wayne’s always wrote me poems. You know the hotel pads? He was always writing a little poem and putting it in his bag and he’d give it to me when we got home.’

Caught off guard, a surprised GK, 25, said: Wayne Rooney? That is so cute!’

In the Bush Telegraph, GK said: ‘Never did I ever think that Wayne Rooney had it in him to write a love poem. 

‘I don’t know him but I never saw him as that type of man and I’m so intrigued at what they would say.’

Coleen added: ‘They’re nice to keep but I can’t remember the last time he gave me one…’

GK joked: ‘Well you might have one coming up “Roses are red, jungle is green, you’re my love, Coleen”.’

Reflecting in the Bush Telegraph, Coleen said: ‘He is romantic in ways, we’re not the lovey dovey couple in public but little things like that I think it keeps the relationship alive.

‘And it’s special when someone’s done something just for you, and the words mean something.’

Earlier on in the episode, Coleen gave a rare insight into her 16-year marriage with Wayne, admitting he has ‘made mistakes’.

The WAG spoke about going against the public, who had urged her to divorce the footballer, 39, after his infidelities’ emerged.

Coleen confided in campmate Oti Mabuse why she and Wayne have remained together and said while ‘it has been difficult, we’re happy now, after all those years… we’re a team.’

The conversation turned to their turbulent marriage when talking about Wayne’s footballing career.

Coleen said: ‘All he wanted to do was play football, he struggled with the fame side of it, he hated that. If he could’ve just played football and had none of the fame I think he would’ve been happier within life.’

‘He’s made mistakes along the way, but from 16, obviously you’re going to, that’s life.’

Explaining they got married young at 22, and engaged at 17/18, Coleen admitted because of that, ‘We felt older, because we had to grow up quick, because we were living in the public eye.’ 

‘Since the first mistake he’s made, that’s been in the public, people have not forgiven. When things have happened the public have wanted it to just go oh, split, you know, that’s it, split them up. But the fact is, there’s always been love still there.’ 

Coleen and Wayne tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in Italy in 2008, with the big day said to have cost an estimated £5m. 

Before they married in a stunning ceremony in the village of Portofino on the Italian Riviera in 2008, Wayne admitted sleeping with prostitutes after being caught on CCTV at a backstreet Liverpool brothel. 

One was a 48-year-old grandmother known as ‘Auld Slapper’ who wore a rubber catsuit. 

Then came his threesome with two more, Helen Wood and Jenny Thompson, at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester in 2010.

In 2017, Wayne was caught driving Cheshire-based estate agent Laura Simpson’s car while over the drink-drive limit. But Coleen has stood by him through all of it.

‘It has been difficult, but we’re happy now, after all those years… we’re a team,’ she said.
