I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! viewers were left in stitches as Coleen Rooney shared a hilarious anecdote about her husband Wayne Rooney's faux pas at a dinner party, which was also attended by David and Victoria Beckham. In the final episode of the 2024 series, Coleen, 38, spilled the beans on Wayne's gaffe to her fellow finalists, Danny Jones and Reverend Richard Coles.
The mum-of-four reminisced about a posh dinner party alongside the Beckhams, where celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay had prepared a Michelin-star style meal. Despite the formal and lavish atmosphere, Wayne, 39, made a blunder that brought down the tone of the evening.
He was served cold soup by Gordon but mistook the bowl for a finger bowl, used for rinsing fingers between courses. Recounting Wayne's dinner mishap, Coleen couldn't help but laugh as she told the awkward story to Danny and Richard. "He was dipping his fingers in the bowl until he realised it was actually a bowl of soup. He had never had cold soup before," she chuckled, reports the Mirror.
After Coleen shared her hilarious anecdote about Wayne on I'm A Celebrity, social media users couldn't contain their amusement. Chatter and laughter ensued online with one fan posting: "Will never stop thinking about Coleen at a fancy dinner realising Wayne was washing his hands in a bowl of cold soup thinking it was a little dish of water. Incredible scenes #ImACeleb."
Another added some cheeky commentary: "Wayne Rooney washing his hands in Gordon Ramsay's cold soup - brilliant. So lucky he was good at football," while someone else shared their own gourmet faux pas: "Well I never knew that Wayne Rooney and I would have something in common, my first encounter with 'cold soup' was not far off his! Classy girl that I am! #imacelebrity2024."
Amid all the chatter, another tweet read: "Wayne Rooney washing his fingers in the fancy soup. Good Lord. #imacelebrity #ImACeleb," Meanwhile, an I'm A Celeb star couldn't resist making a joke: "Wayne Rooney washing his hands in the soup at the Beckham's World Cup party is brilliant."
Rev Richard Coles, who was part of pop duo The Communards, came in third place. Presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly announced the results to Coles and his fellow finalists, Coleen Rooney and Danny Jones, in the jungle camp during Sunday’s final.
The 62-year-old radio presenter made it to the grand final of the ITV1 jungle reality show alongside Coleen and McFly singer Danny Jones but didn't quite manage to take the crown.
Speaking to hosts Ant and Dec immediately after his elimination, he said: "It's not what you think it's gonna be. I thought we'd all be beautifully pampered and well looked after. It was much harder than I thought it was gonna be, the lows were much lower and the highs were much higher."
Asked which of his former campmates he would like to win the entire series, he said: "Both would be fantastic but I have a feeling it will be Coleen's year!"
