Wayne Rooney is living it up in a £2k-a-night hotel in Australia before swapping his life of luxury for the I’m A Celebrity jungle. The football legend, 41, was the first celebrity to land at Brisbane Airport this week and unlike his co-stars he checked into a lavish five-star hotel. Meanwhile, his castmates including Love Island’s Chloe Burrows, are staying in more modest self-catered apartments, which can cost up to £200-a-night. A source told The Sun: ‘Wayne is enjoying his last few nights of luxury before entering the camp. ‘He has caught a bit of the sun which has been a treat given the rain has been on and off since he arrived.’Wayne is staying in a really nice hotel and will certainly miss it when he is sleeping in a hammock.’ Wayne Rooney is living it up in a £2k-a-night hotel in Australia before swapping his life of luxury for the I’m A Celebrity jungle The football legend, 41, was the first celebrity to land at Brisbane Airport this week and unlike his co-stars he checked into a lavish five-star hotelThe Daily Mail has contacted Wayne and ITV representatives for comment. On Wednesday, Wayne looked his best yet, when he was seen enjoying a relaxed lunch out in Australia ahead of the show’s launch on November 16. The former England captain, who is reportedly one of the highest-paid contestants in this year’s line-up, was seen grabbing a coffee before heading inside to place his order.Wearing a polo shirt tucked into shorts and trainers, he took the time out to chat to fans and pose for selfies during the low-key outing. The football pundit is following in the footsteps of his wife, Coleen, 40, who was a runner-up in the show back in 2024. Bosses have reportedly offered Wayne more than his wife, who made a record-breaking £1.5million for her jungle stint. Wayne will appear alongside Joanna Page, Ade Adepitan, Sharky, Chloe Burrows, Ricky Wilson, AJ Odudu, Claire Sweeney, Jack Skipper, Mariella Frostrup and Leomie Anderson. Leigh Francis is expected to be a late arrival. Wayne said: ‘This is probably the biggest exposure I’ve ever had, being on TV every night for three weeks. ‘I hope people see I am a genuine person,’ said Wayne, adding that he is a ‘fun guy’ who enjoys ‘pranks’.The sportsman has looked noticeably slimmer in recent months after overhauling his lifestyle.Speaking to the Daily Mail last month, Wayne shared that he ‘worked really hard’ to lose weight in the gym, and laughed off the idea he’d used jabs. Asked to share the secret to his weight loss, he said: ‘Apparently I’ve seen recently I’ve been taking this pen thing about me. It’s a shame, because I’m working really hard to lose weight. Apparently I’ve been on the pen.’Since his career pivot, which has seen him leave football management behind for punditry, podcasting and TV work, Rooney has focused more on his health and family life.’I’ve found more balance,’ he said, adding that ‘it’s helped me get back to a much better place’.

Wayne is staying in a really nice hotel and will certainly miss it when he is sleeping in a hammock’He continued: ‘When I stopped playing, I got in a rut, I was drinking too much and not getting into the routine of training and I just thought, “You know what I want to enjoy the time with the kids whilst they’re at this age, and with Coleen as well and I actually have been more present, more there for them”.’Wayne also revealed that his wife Coleen was the one who encouraged him to go under the knife for his recent nose job, after he broke it while playing for DC United in the US.Coleen added: ‘I tried to get him to do it because of his snoring,’ while her husband clarified: ‘I couldn’t blow one side out of my nose and so I had it fixed.’Wayne revealed that he was feeling ‘a little bit uncomfortable’ following the surgery.He said: ‘It’s actually really lucky I’ve got no black eyes, but I’ve still got two plastic tubes up my nose, which are coming out very soon. I can’t wait for them to come out.’So, they’ve cut here [under my nostrils]… So, that’s all stitched – a little bit uncomfortable.’Wayne has already emerged as the early favourite to win this year’s show. According to odds by William Hill, the sports star is already in the lead to be crowned King of the Jungle, with his odds at 11/4.
