England hero Wayne, 39, took over as manager in the summer.

A source said: “Coleen will be gutted Wayne can’t get out there to meet her, but she understands how demanding his job is. He’s desperate to string a decent set of results together before Christmas.

"He and Coleen have been living miles apart for months so that will have prepared them for the separation.”

Mum-of-four Coleen, 38, may be met by best pal Claire Rooney — Wayne’s cousin — or parents Colette and Tony.

The source said: “Coleen’s very family-orientated so she’ll find the show tough. Whoever is waiting for her, it’ll be incredibly emotional.”
