COLEEN Rooney signed up to I’m A Celebrity because she finally trusts husband Wayne to behave — after 22 years together.
The couple started dating aged 16 and wed in 2008, but mum-of-four Coleen told pals she only now has confidence that her scandal-hit other half can keep out of trouble.

Coleen, 38, flies to Australia for the ITV series next month sure that former Everton, Manchester United and England ace Wayne has calmed down since becoming head coach at Plymouth Argyle.
A source told The Sun: “He’s grown up.
"He’s definitely changed and Coleen totally trusts him.
"This is one of the reasons she’s agreed to do the jungle.
"She knows she can go off and pursue her own work projects safe in the knowledge Wayne isn’t going to blow up and do something daft again.
“One of the most common factors in the incidents in the past has been that Wayne always seemed to go off the rails when Coleen was away, or when he was overseas and left to his own devices.
“It’s naturally left Coleen a little bit scarred, but those fears and apprehensions no longer apply.
“Everyone around them has noted a total change in his behaviour in the last two or three years.
“They are more loved-up than ever now and she believes he is focused on being a good dad and husband — as well as a coach.”
The Devon-based job means Wayne, who turns 39 on Thursday, spends most of the week away from Coleen and their sons Kai, 14, Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and six-year-old Cass at their £20million family home in Cheshire.
The long-distance relationship has been tough but, according to pals, it has underlined to Coleen how the trust has grown.
Seven years ago she almost dumped him after he went off the rails when she jetted off to Majorca.
He was charged with drink-driving after ending up behind the wheel of another’s woman’s car.
Wazza, who scored 53 goals for the Three Lions, also incurred Coleen’s wrath for drunken behaviour and partying after he moved to America to play for D.C. United.
