Coleen opened up in the I'm A Celeb jungle last night.
I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here is known for its terrifying Buchtucker Trials, but it has become equally synonymous with giving rigidly private celebs a platform to offer up some insights into their personal lives. The latest celeb to bare it all is WAG Coleen Rooney, who has been camping out alongside N-Dubz’s Tulisa, Loose Women’s Jane Moore and McFly’s Danny Jones. In a conversation with Dancing On Ice’s Oti Mabuse, Coleen opened up about Wayne’s past, or as she calls them, ‘mistakes.’ She told the dancer, ‘All [Wayne] wanted to do was play football, and he struggled with the fame side of it. He hated that. If he could have just played football and had none of the fame, I think he would have been happier within life. ‘He’s made mistakes along the way but from sixteen obviously you’re going to...That’s exactly why we got married, because we felt older because we had to grow up quick because we were living in the public eye. We had to become more wise we had to become more observant of what was going on around us.’ Wayne's history of cheating scandals has been well-documented by the tabloid press, and now Google Trend's shows the public are keen to know more - with 'Wayne Rooney scandals' and 'Wayne Rooney controversy' breakout search terms on the platform as well as 'Wayne Rooney unfaithful' and 'What has Wayne Rooney done?'. ‘It’s been difficult times,' Coleen admitted. 'Since the first public mistake he’s made that’s been in the public people have not forgiven him. When things have happened, the public have wanted to go, “Oh, split! That’s it, split them up!” But the fact is there’s always been love still there.’ The first scandal occurred when reports surfaced that Wayne had visited a brothel on numerous occasions while he was dating Coleen, with some alleging that these continued even after the couple had tied the knot. The most notable indiscretion was when news broke that he had been with a sex worker while Coleen was pregnant with their first child, Kai. She moved into her parents’ home with the newborn before reuniting with Wayne shortly after and going on to have three more sons— Klay, Kit and Cass.

The next public scandal came in 2017, when the former footballer faced arrest for drink driving while in the car of office worker Laura Simpson, whom he met earlier that night in a bar. Simpson said that she had kissed Wayne, but once again Coleen stood by her husband. On I’m a Celeb, Coleen admitted that despite their rocky journey, there will always be love there. She said, ‘We’re happy now still after all that… we’re a team.’ Similarly, she opened up about the most recent cheating allegations in her documentary, Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story, saying 'I forgive him but it wasn’t acceptable. If it comes up we talk about it like we are talking about it now. I haven’t got the anger I did at the time... Life goes on and I’ve moved on.'
