The full line-up for this years series is yet to be confirmed but it according to reports, Coleen Rooney will take part in this year’s I’m A Celebrity after landing the biggest deal in the show’s history.
The WAG, 38, is believed to have bagged a fee that exceeds Nigel Farage‘s staggering £1.5million from last year.
There are hopes Coleen will spill the beans on her epic fallout with Rebekah Vardy.

According to The Sun on Sunday, Coleen is expected to fly out in November to take part in the show which her four boys are said to be huge fans of.
A source said: ‘I’m A Celeb bosses have pulled off a huge coup getting Coleen for the jungle this year and the team are thrilled to have her on board.
‘She’s always been a massive fan of the show and loves watching it with her boys. ITV are over the moon that the stars have aligned this year and she can fit it in. The series is set to be one of the best yet.
‘Coleen has a huge fanbase and she won massive plaudits for her classy handling of the Wagatha Christie case.’

The pair became the centre of a huge storm back in 2019 when Coleen accused Rebekah of leaking stories about her to the press.
Rebekah then went on to sue Coleen for libel over the claim, but it was Coleen who triumphed with a judge declaring in 2022 that her claim was ‘substantially true’.
Rebekah was later instructed to pay 90 per cent of 38-year-old Coleen’s fees, with an initial payment of £800,000, but has been challenging the claimed £1.8million costs.
At the end of the latest hearing, which began on Monday, senior costs judge Andrew Gordon-Saker has now told Rebekah to pay an extra £100,000 within 21 days.
He said: ‘I think there is some scope for a further payment on account so the defendant (Mrs Rooney) is not kept out of her costs, and I think that should be no more than £100,000.’
The hearing, which neither woman attended, dealt with several preliminary issues before a full ‘line-by-line’ assessment of costs takes place at a later date, which will decide the overall amount of money to be paid.
Judge Gordon-Saker said this could take place in early 2025, but added: ‘The parties need to get on with this and put it behind them.’
He said: ‘Realistically, it (the line-by-line assessment) is probably going to be next year, hopefully early next year.’
