Football manager Wayne Rooney has hinted at an appearance on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here after praising the efforts of his wife Coleen Rooney on the show.
The 39-year-old called into the ITV2 spin-off programme I'm A Celebrity Unpacked to talk about her time in the Australian jungle.

According to The Sun, he told Joel Dommett: "She's a nice person, a warm person, and a very caring person, and I think that's coming across.
"You know, I think she's probably in the middle of the older ones and the younger ones, so she's probably bridging that gap little bit.
"But I think she's absolutely shown her personality, her character, and I think that's coming across strong. It's great to see her in there and see us settling in as well over the last few days."
Wayne Rooney added: "We always said that if we were ever going to do one, that's the one we'd do. And obviously, Coleen's gone out there to test herself."
Focussing on the word "we", Joel asked if the footballing legend would ever consider entering the I'm A Celebrity jungle himself.
He said: "Maybe, if I'm not working, it's something I would like to do, but at the minute, obviously, that's not possible."

He also admitted to voting for her to take on a Bushtucker Trials on the ITV show.
He added: "Yeah, I'd love to see her do a trial. I'm sure part of the experience of going out there and being part of the show is to do the trials and to test yourself.
"So obviously, I think Dean doing the trials at the minute is not doing so well. So, I'd love to see Coleen do one, because, I suppose, it's part of the experience, and I think she'd be great as well. I think she'd be, she'd be really good at the trials."
It would now appear that Wayne's wish has come true after Coleen was chosen to take part in the next trial alongside Dean McCullough.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
