I’m A Celebrity fans have spotted Coleen Rooney looking less than thrilled about a new jungle challenge.
On Thursday’s episode of the hit ITV show, the campmates were split into groups of four. The celebrity trio of McFly’s Danny Jones, Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough, and Coronation Street’s Alan Halsall were pitted against each other in a bushtucker trial to earn money for their groups to spend around the camp.
Before the teams were decided, the whole group learned about the upcoming Bushtucker Trial – others would watch the action from the sidelines.
Coleen, suspecting a catch, guessed that they might be split into teams. “I think we might be put into teams, so team Alan, team Danny and team Dean,” she shared with the other contestants.
Her intuition was spot on, as upon arriving at the trial venue, presenters Ant and Dec announced that items needed in camp now had a cost attached. In the Rank Bank challenge, Danny, Alan, and Dean vied to gather funds credited to a cash card for use back at camp.
Each participant got a cash card corresponding to their colour, and the rest of the stars picked blindly from a sack, with their chosen colour determining which group they joined.
Finding herself with a pink card, Coleen became part of Dean’s team, which included Loose Women panellist Jane Moore and broadcaster Melvin Odoom.
Viewers couldn’t help but pick up on Coleen’s seemingly clear discontent with her team selection. “Coleen is fuming to be on deans team,” observed one viewer, as another added: “Coleen fuming she’s on deans team lollll.”
Dean has encountered several challenges throughout the series, with varying degrees of success, and his manner of handling camp tasks did not escape the attention of his campmates. Adding to the drama, Jane caused an uproar when she vehemently criticised Barry McGuigan and Danny for assigning her dishwashing tasks, labelling their actions ‘sexist’ and ‘ageist’.
Sympathy poured in from a viewer who said: “My heart goes out to poor Coleen what a team to be saddled with, Dean and Jane!” as another added: “The two most annoying campmates, Jane and Dean on the same team… sorry to Melvin and Coleen… but I’m not rooting for pink team.” A third shared: “Coleen fuming she got pink cuz that’s deans teams which probably means no money.”
