Former footballer Wayne Rooney is swapping football management for the I’m A Celebrity jungle, hoping the ITV series will show viewers a more genuine and playful side
He joins Joanna Page, Ade Adepitan, Sharky, Chloe Burrows, Ricky Wilson, AJ Odudu, Claire Sweeney, Jack Skipper, Mariella Frostrup and Leomie Anderson
Rooney says his younger sons are excited, while his older boys fear embarrassment
He is willing to tackle the eating trials, but dreads snakes, creatures in the water and jumping from a helicopter.
