Wayne Rooney kept it low-key as he headed out in Wilmslow, Cheshire on Thursday after his wife Coleen entered the I’m A Celebrity jungle.
The football manager, 39, was spotted filling up his car at the petrol station near his home where he is solo parenting their four boys – Kai, 15, Kit, 11, Klay, eight, and six-year-old Cass.
Wayne is unlikely to be flying out to Australia to meet Coleen when she departs the camp while being tied to his job as a manager at Plymouth Argyle.
Leaving the station, he shielded his face with a black baseball cap and wore a fleece with a padded coat and joggers.
Coleen is set to rough it in camp with a cast of famous faces like former Strictly pro Oti Mabuse and McFly’s Danny Jones in the ITV competition, which kicks off on Sunday.
Wayne is expected to be tuning into see his wife tackle the famous Bushtucker Trials from their £20 million mansion in Cheshire.
While the sportman is a devoted dad to his four sons, he’ll need a helping hand from the detailed whiteboard that Coleen has left to help him with juggling his boys’ school and extra-curricular activities.
The mother of four mentioned in a new Instagram video that a ‘village’ would be looking after her boys during the time she is away.
Revealing two huge whiteboards in her dining room, Coleen revealed she had covered them with her children’s schedules ‘on both sides’.
Speaking to the camera, Coleen said: ‘I am really anxious about leaving the kids, that’s my biggest thing, for weeks and months that’s been on my mind.
‘But I’ve come to terms with it and I’ve planned and prepped, I’ve got an army of people – family and friends – school friends all helping out with the kids. They are going to be fine, they’ll probably have a great time.
‘I’ve prepped as you can see, behind me, that is literally front and back four weeks of timetables, football runs, parties and everything.’
The former player is the manager of EFL Championship club Plymouth Argyle, meaning he has to spend time away from the family home.
Wayne’s team have matches on November 22, 26 and 30 as well as December 7, 10, and 14, meaning the couple will rely on their ‘army’ of friends and family to help look after their sons.
Coleen she has already landed her in trouble after she reportedly smuggled collagen sachets into the jungle ahead of the show’s launch.
The WAG apparently ‘swears by’ the beauty item for keeping her hair, nails, and skin looking healthy and it was a ‘non-negotiable’ that she’d have them in Australia.
While most celebrities would choose chocolate as their luxury item, the 38-year-old is reportedly more interested in keeping up her daily beauty regimen.
A source told The Mirror: ‘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.’
Coleen – who will be paid a reported £1.5million for her jungle stint – is already an ambassador for global wellness brand, Applied Nutrition.
It is thought that she is preparing to launch the Coleen Rooney Applied Nutrition range of collagen in January – so her collagen sachets could be excellent promotion in camp for the potential upcoming venture.
The mother-of-four has also brought some personal touches to camp, according to the outlet.
Coleen has packed photos of her sons to stop her feeling homesick in camp.
‘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,’ the source said.
