I’m A Celebrity star Danny Jones has told how he once spent a bizarre night out with soon-to-be campmate Coleen Rooney’s husband Wayne.

The McFly singer, 38, is one of the contestants heading to the I’m A Celeb jungle tonight (Sunday, November 17).

The avid football fan shared the story about the after party when he participated in Soccer Aid during Covid times in September 2020.

Danny told the Sappenin’ Podcast with Sean Smith how he and fellow musicians Dermot Kennedy and James Bay were told to bring their guitars by ex-footballer Robbie Keane – and this was an invitation for Rooney to show off his musical talents.

The singers then ended up jamming Mustang Sally with the former England captain.

Danny said: “I was lucky enough to play the one in Covid times. In normal every day times it’s a party, everyone brings their loved one along. This time, obviously you couldn’t do that.

“After the game, we all just had to buy ourselves the party in this kind of bubble that we were in.

“The three of us were all jamming. We’re all having an amazing time.

“Then out of nowhere, Wayne Rooney wants to do a tune. I say ‘Rooney, what do you want to sing? I’ve heard you like a bit of Mustang Sally.’

“So there’s me, James Bay and Dermot Kennedy jamming Mustang Sally with Wayne Rooney. He’s got a decent enough voice but he’s got this Scouse twang to it.”

Danny called the experience ‘one of the highlights of my life’ – but said no one ‘dared film’ Rooney’s rendition.

He added: “It was amazing. But no one dared film it, I don’t know why. It was such an amazing moment. And I’m laughing my head off, thinking ‘this is the best thing that’s ever happened.’ It was one of the highlights of my life.”

Danny and Coleen, 38, will be joined in the Australian jungle by the likes of singer Tulisa Contostavlos, 36, and Coronation Street star Alan Halsall, 42.

You can catch Danny and Coleen in I’m A Celeb at 9pm on ITV tonight (Sunday, November 17).
