I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! campmate Coleen Rooney left viewers gobsmacked after recalling her unpleasant encounter with US president Donald Trump who she branded a “dirty b******”.
The 38-year-old, who is currently appearing on the ITV series that kicked off last week, shared stories about her past with her former footballer hubby Wayne Rooney while adventuring in the Australian jungle.
During last night’s show, she brought up her American residency and explained that she and Wayne had lived in Washington D.C. with their kids between 2018 and 2019 when the now retired footballer played for team D.C. United at the time.
Later, Wayne even took on management duties for the team. According to reports, in December 2018, the Rooneys were invited along to the White House for a Christmas celebration, hosted by then-President Trump, the Mirror reports.
They visited the iconic premises with their children Kai, who is now 15, Klay, now 11, Kit, eight, and six-year- old Cass.
While sharing the experience with fellow contestants on the latest edition of I’m A Celebrity, Coleen recalled: “When we lived in America, we were invited to the White House for Christmas and we went in to meet … it was Donald Trump [who was President].”

Continuing her tale, she described the photographic moment: “So we walked in and we got to get like y’know the official photograph taken in front of the Christmas tree and stuff. So Donald Trump said to his son ‘see? Told ya, all the soccer players get the good looking girls’. And I told my mum – I was like ‘dirty b*****d’.”
Coleen then revealed in conversation that Trump, who is now 78, had “wanted Wayne to go over to like teach his son … like play football with his son.”
The revelation comes years after Coleen and her husband’s visit to the White House where it emerged that Trump and Melania’s son, Barron Trump, now aged 18, was a big admirer of the football star Wayne and the sport.
While chatting on ‘I’m A Celebrity’ this week, band member Danny Jones of McFly inquired about Coleen’s interactions with the former president, asking, “Is he that orange? ” To which Coleen humorously responded a bit later: “He was very orange! “.
