Infamous WAG Coleen Rooney was one of the first contestants officially announced in 2024's celebrity lineup for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.
Coleen has joined the likes of GK Barry, McFly's Danny Jones and Corrie’s Alan Halsall who have signed up to take on the Australian jungle.
The upcoming season of I’m A Celeb has reportedly made some pretty big changes, but regardless of what’s to come, the addition of Coleen is set to make some excellent television.
So let’s brush up on our knowledge of her. Who is Coleen Rooney? From her age, net worth, children and famous husband Wayne Rooney, to where she’s from and her late sister Rosie.
Why is Coleen Rooney famous?
Coleen is now a household name as a media personality but her career really began as a writer for celebrity magazines like Closer and OK!.
She worked on several television shows in the years following with broadcasters such as ITV for her program Coleen's Real Women.
Coleen’s even published a number of books but her marriage to high-profile English football manager and former player Wayne Rooney came with the WAG title, which certainly defined the rest of her career.
We’d be remiss not to at least mention the now infamous Wagatha Christie case which certainly sprung Coleen back into the limelight in 2019, especially after the Disney+ documentary was released.
Long story short, in October of 2019 Coleen publicly accused fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy of secretly selling stories about her to the tabloids, which was the start of an incredibly dramatic back and forth and eventual court case that had the nation at the edge of their seats.
The drama continues in 2024 as Rebekah has been rumoured to be joining Coleen in the jungle!

In the video, Coleen said: “I am really anxious about leaving the kids, that's my biggest thing, for weeks and months that's been on my mind.
“But I've come to terms with it and I've planned and prepped, I've got an army of people - family and friends - school friends all helping out with the kids. They are going to be fine, they'll probably have a great time.
She finished with: “Before I wrote them all a little card each when they get home from school tomorrow and a little teddy each so they know I am constantly thinking of them.”
What happened to Coleen Rooney’s sister Rosie? Her Rett syndrome explained:
Coleen has three siblings, two brothers, Joe and Anthony McLoughlin, and she had one adopted sister, Rosie McLoughlin who sadly passed away in 2013.

Rosie passed away at the age of 14 and in a statement, Coleen and her family, revealed they were"heartbroken".

"We shall cherish forever the memories we have shared and the love she showed us each and every day of her life.”
