Wayne Rooney has revealed that wife Coleen gave Angry Ginge 'a few tips' ahead of the final of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!
In just a few days, popular ITV reality series I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here will crown a new king or queen of the jungle.
Currently, Twitch streamer and England Soccer Aid star Angry Ginge, who also manages a team in the Baller League, is the bookies' favourite to win the 25th season of the show.
The 24-year-old is a lifelong fan of the show and was a vocal supporter of Coleen Rooney when she appeared on last year's season of the show.

Ahead of the final, Manchester United icon Wayne Rooney spoke about his wife's experience on the show and revealed that she had spoken with Ginge ahead of the 2025 season to offer him some tips.
Following his legendary footballing career, Rooney has remained busy both as a pundit but also in areas outside of sport.
Last year, the 40-year represented 'Girth and Turf' a pro club team in EA Sports FC 25 alongside Ginge and rapper Aitch, who is also a part of the I'm a Celeb lineup this year.
And before the pair arrived in the jungle, Rooney revealed that Coleen had spoken to them both to offer some advice before starting the show.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain: "She gave them a few tips. It was little things – like, when you go to the toilet empty your water bottle out so they give you fresh water."
Rooney was also asked if he would ever consider flying out to Australia to appear on the show, joining fellow Premier League legend's Ian Wright, Jimmy Bullard and Dennis Wise who have all featured in a previous season.
"Speaking to Coleen, it is tough and it is real out there," Rooney added.
"She really enjoyed it – she loved her time in there. It gave her really great memories."
Just behind Ginge, Aitch is the second favourite to win I'm a Celeb this year, with the pair's fraternal relationship making them popular with the viewers.
But asked to pick which of the two he wants to win the show, Rooney didn't hesitate.
"I want to come on and give Aitch my support – he’s been outstanding," he claimed.
"He’s been himself and you’ve seen at times, last night you saw him got a little bit emotional. It’s good to see, because its showing he’s vulnerable as well at times, he’s missing his family at home."
