Coleen Rooney opened up about the early days of her relationship with husband Wayne Rooney on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! on Tuesday night.
The WAG met the former England footballer when they were just 12 years old but the pair did not start dating until she was 16.
Coleen recalled ‘getting embarrassed’ when Wayne used to turn up at her school in a Bentley when he was playing for Everton.
She said: ‘I was still at school when he was playing for Everton. I used to walk out and all the girls were going, ‘Whose is that car there?’
‘And he was in a Bentley and something else and there’s Wayne in the passenger seat with his arm out and one of the players like Thomas Gravesen.’

She admitted: ‘I just used to get embarrassed’, before clarifying that the car wasn’t his, ‘he just used to get a lift home!’
Coleen also revealed that Wayne proved he was committed to her as he got her name tattooed on his arm.
Telling a story of going to her friend’s 18th birthday party, she explained how she got a call from Wayne’s cousin before asking if she spelt her name with 1 L or 2.
Asking why, he said: ‘I’m just with our Wayne in town, he’s getting a tattoo.’
Explaining she’d ‘not long been going with him. I go to this party later on, and he’s going to everybody like this [mocks showing her arm]. He’d got my name tattooed on him! At 17!’
Later on the ITV show, the campmates received their luxury items however, instead of the celebrities choosing what they wanted, their loved ones have sent them the surprise item.
And Coleen was sent a thoughtful personalised pillow with a family photo on so she can still see her four sons, Kai, 15, Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and Cass, six.
It comes after Coleen was in tears as she opened up about the loss of her little sister Rosie during Monday’s I’m A Celeb.
