Coleen Rooney is gearing up for her I’m A Celebrity adventure, and she’s not leaving behind one essential beauty product, as she opted for a rather unusual luxury item to take into the jungle.
The 38-year-old WAG is a huge advocate for collagen, crediting it with maintaining her glowing skin, strong nails, and luscious hair and has chosen to bring collagen sachets with her according to reports in the Mirror.
A source close to the show revealed: “She’s always looked after herself, and this is just part of her routine. She absolutely swears by collagen and it was non negotiable. It’s one of her secret weapons for staying healthy. Most people would be sneaking in bars of chocolate, but she’s packed plenty of collagen sachets to keep up with her daily regime!”
With Coleen reportedly pocketing £1.5 million for her time on the ITV show, her stint could coincide perfectly with promoting her role as an ambassador for the global wellness brand Applied Nutrition.
Rumours are swirling that she’s set to launch her own line of wellbeing products, including a Coleen Rooney Applied Nutrition range of collagen in the New Year.
Hailed for enhancing skin elasticity and fostering robust hair growth, collagen is just one aspect of Coleen’s jungle prep, as she’s also bringing personal items to make her stay more homely.
Coleen has packed collagen sachets and photos of her four children Kai, 15, Kit, 11, Klay, eight, and six year old Cass, to keep her spirits high while away from home.

A source said: “She’s a devoted mum, and having pictures of her kids with her is a must. They are her motivation through everything, even the toughest parts of the show.”
Before leaving for Australia, Coleen shared her extensive preparations to ensure her boys’ care during her four-week absence. In a video confirming her show appearance, Coleen revealed she had covered two large whiteboards with instructions, saying: “I am really anxious about leaving the kids. That’s my biggest thing, and for weeks and months that’s been on my mind. But I’ve come to terms with it. I’ve planned, I’ve prepped, I’ve got an army of people – family, friends, school friends – all helping out with the kids.”
She continued: “They are going to be fine, they’ll probably have a great time. I have prepped, as you can see behind me. That is, like, literally front and back, four weeks of timetables, football runs, parties, just everything. Before, I just wrote them all a little card each to open when they come home from school tomorrow, and a little teddy to keep so that they know I am constantly thinking of them.”
Coleen has disclosed that she’s gearing up for an adventure on I’m A Celeb, having turned down offers for “years” due to her children being too young. Now keen, she expressed her excitement: “I want to experience something different, do something for myself and meet new people. I’m really looking forward to doing the trials and there’s been a lot of news saying I am exempt because of various illnesses. But I can confirm I can do every trial, so I am not excluded from any.”
