I'M A Celebrity has seen its fair share of wild revelations in camp, but Coleen Rooney's marriage proposal confession is one of the most strange.

As the I'm A Celebrity camp mates discussed the Letters From Home Challenge, Coleen Rooney revealed footballer husband Wayne didn't splash out on the big moment he asked her to marry him.

Instead the couple, who got engaged when they were in their teens, had a much more down to earth experience when Wayne proposed.

Wayne, then 18, got down on one knee for Coleen, then 17, in a petrol station to ask the future WAG to be his wife.

The bizarre location for the proposal did not escape the I'm A Celeb camp mates, as Reverend Richard Coles was quick to quiz scouser Coleen over the moment.

Following the letters from home challenge, Richard quizzed Coleen on Wayne asking the big question in a petrol station.

She shared: "I knew it was gonna happen but I definitely didn’t know it was gonna be in a petrol station, but I’m glad we didn’t do it in a restaurant to be honest with you.

"We were only young, so we went back and had corned beef hash instead!"

Richard then spoke about his wedding, where he got married in a registry office, as he also shared a memory of his husband’s prized possession.

He revealed: "And then he got a new car and that night I crashed it! I drove it through a hedge into a ditch!"

This isn't the first time Coleen has opened up about life with Wayne, with just a day before the mum of four revealing the extent of her luxury Cheshire mansion to camp mates.

When Oti asked if she has a club in her house, Coleen replied: “We have a few bars.”

With Oti and Dean both shocked, Coleen explained: “We have the common bar, where if people come back late we’ll have that and we use that for parties because it goes out onto the garden so we can open it up.” 

Speaking about the other features of her house, she mentioned they had a football pitch and also an underground tunnel “that links that to that.” 

Coleen and Wayne's home in Cheshire is worth a reported £20m, and they moved into it with their children in 2021.

The home's official name is High Lake Manor, and sits on 50 acres of old farmland.

The home is known to feature a football pitch, epic wine cellar, home cinema and a huge swimming pool.
