Wayne Rooney has planned a romantic surprise for wife Coleen Rooney for when she gets out of the I'm A Celebrity jungle.
The former England footballer is said to have spent £10,000 on covering their £20 million Cheshire mansion in twinkling Christmas lights so mum-of-four Coleen won't have to do it all when she gets home. Going all out on the festive decorations, Wayne has also had three Christmas wreaths installed on the front of the huge house, which can be seen from the street.
Their jaw-dropping family home, which they share with sons Kit, 15, Klay, 12, Kit, eight, and six-year-old Cass, is said to have a swimming pool, football pitch, wine cellar, library, cinema room and hot tub.
So Coleen will be in the lap of luxury when she finally gets home from Australia after three weeks spent sleeping outside and being covered in critters on a daily basis. Wayne, 39, isn't flying out to meet Coleen, 38, Down Under but her parents Colette and Tony and two youngest sons are already there to meet her.

Coleen arrived in the I'm A Celebrity camp with a personalised necklace featuring all of her sons' names. She has been seen holding on to it as she misses her family.
But Coleen isn't aware that she is set to have a surprise reunion with her youngest boys as she is only expecting her mother to visit during upcoming 'friends and families' episode. This segment typically takes place in the third week when five or six celebrities remain.
An insider shared: "Everyone knows how much Coleen loves her boys, and it would be one of the most heartwarming moments of the series. It’s a really special part of the show, and there’s no doubt Coleen would be a blubbering mess - as would the millions of viewers watching at home. It’s going to be such a surprise for her."
Holding the fort at home, husband Wayne has been showing his unwavering support. The ex-Manchester United star has even urged fans to vote for Coleen to do Bushtucker trials. Posting a family snap on Instagram, he said: “Proud of @coleen_rooney on @imacelebrity she’s doing great. Me and the boys would love to see her doing a trial and we know she’d want to put herself to the test. If you can download the #ImACeleb app and let’s get voting.”
It comes as Coleen recently opened up about parenthood in a chat with her campmates earlier this week, revealing she had previously experienced two miscarriages. Coleen told Oti and GK that the first miscarriage was prior to her pregnancy with eldest son Kai.
The second experience came before she had her two youngest kids, Kit and Cass. She shared: "When I had the first one I was really scared [of not being able to have kids] but then once I had a child, it took that away. I went on to have another one. It's not a nice feeling for anyone, it's horrible. But knowing that I could conceive and have the child, then that made me feel better."
Speaking about having four sons, Coleen told her co-stars: "I would've liked a girl for Wayne. I wasn't desperate. He would've liked a girl. I wasn't bothered either way." She went on to say: "I've had two miscarriages and I don't know whether that has been girls, you know sometimes they say you can't carry a certain sex."
