Coleen Rooney’s I’m A Celeb odds for success revealed as bookies tip her to ‘make it to the final’
Coleen Rooney ‘will make it to I’m A Celebrity final’ and has been tipped as one of the three camp finalists, according to bookies.
The WAG’s future on the hit ITV show seems brighter than ever as Coleen quickly conquered the nation’s hearts and became a fan favourite.
The media personality, 38, is currently the only celeb campmate to be behind tipped winner Danny Jones, but even former I’m A Celeb campmate Vicki Michelle thinks Coleen will likely be in the final three.
Emmerdale legend Vicki, 73, told SlotsCalendar: ‘I think Coleen Rooney has come across really well.
‘She’s someone that the public didn’t really know that well before the show – she’s not really your conventional celebrity who we’ve all seen on television or something.
‘She was an unknown quantity, but I think she’s coming across as a genuinely nice person.

‘She seems really strong and brave too – she didn’t scream or get deterred by the trials that she’s done so far despite having cockroaches in her ears.’
Continuing to sing her praises, the actress added about Coleen’s time in the jungle: ‘I can see her being very popular with the public and I think she will get to the final next week.
‘I think people were expecting her to be a bit different, whereas she’s turned out to be genuinely nice.
‘With regards to the Wagatha Christie situation, she seems very calm about the incident and is willing to talk about it if people bring it up, as you would to a friend if they ask you about it.’
Coleen’s odds have just recently been cut to 5-2 (from 6-1), following the strong support she received over the weekend – according to Coral’s bookmakers.
At the top of the betting is Danny Jones as the 5-4 favourite – although his odds have drifted from 4-5.
Meanwhile Reverend Richard Coles has also been trimmed to 11-4 (from 5-1), and Maura Higgins comes right after with 11-1 odds.
‘Coleen Rooney has been well-backed over the weekend. She is now just behind Danny Jones in the outright betting and looks to have momentum behind her,’ revealed Coral’s John Hill.

Following Maura straight after are GK Barry with 22-1 odds, Oti Mabuse with 40-1, and Alan Halsall with 66-1.
The last bottom three are Tulisa Contostavlos with 100-1, Barry McGuigan with 125-1, and ultimately 150-1 odds for Melvin Odoom.
It comes after Coleen’s brother has revealed the touching reason behind the I’m A Celebrity star’s determination to win this year’s show.
The WAG has impressed viewers by throwing herself into trials and jungle life, after joining the show as this year’s highest-paid signing.
Now, her brother Joe has told the Mirror that the thought of reuniting with her four boys is the only thing keeping her going and will propel her to victory.
Coleen became as instant fan favourite with her humble attitude, surprising anecdotes and hilarious comments, but this, her brother has revealed, is not what will seal her win.
Instead, Coleen will no doubt be spurred on by the arrival of her two youngest boys, Kit, eight, and Cass, six, who touched down in Brisbane on Wednesday.
Joe told the publication: ‘It’s the longest she’s been away from her family, and I know she will be missing them like mad, but it’ll also push her on even more.

‘Knowing her two youngest lads, as well as mum and dad, will be waiting for her when she gets out will be keeping her going.’
And while Joe is keen for Coleen to go as far as she can, he added that the whole family are very proud of her and they’ve been impressed by how she’s handled each challenge and every difficulty.
While she’s been in the jungle, Coleen has given an insight into her life with former England footballer Wayne and their four children.
She recently opened up about his romantic gestures including a tattoo tribute to her and the difficulties they’ve faced including suffering two difficult miscarriages.
Joe confessed that Wayne is missing his wife, he said: ‘He’s missing her, like all of us are but we have got a good support system.’
But he also said how proud he was of her and complimented how sharp and funny she has been throughout her time in the jungle, including her hilarious story about Donald Trump and her court case with Rebekah Vardy.
Coleen will soon be able to see her family, who jetted Down Under earlier this week.
The star’s youngest children were all smiles as they posed for adorable Instagram snaps while visiting a number of kangaroos after landing in Australia earlier this week.

Kit and Cass were seen crouching down next to the animals as they relaxed in the sun at a zoo.
Cass couldn’t contain his smile as he introduced his teddy kangaroo, which Coleen gifted each of her four boys before jetting off for the ITV show, to the real animal.
Her two boys and her parents Colette and Anthony landed at Brisbane Airport three days ago
While her older sons Kai, 15, and Klay, 12, chose to remain in the UK with their father Wayne, 39, who is also staying home thanks to his job as a manager at Plymouth Argyle.
Her mum told MailOnline: ‘She’s amazing. She’s doing really well. We’re so proud. The kids have been really good, to tell you the truth.
‘If they hadn’t been able to see her, it would’ve been different. One of them’s been really quiet and subdued but not much longer now.’
When Coleen arrived at the same airport just two weeks earlier, she told of how she had ‘shed a few tears’ after dropping her four sons at school before leaving for her stint in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.
Laughing, Colette revealed she was ‘glad to see the back of the whiteboard’, which her daughter left behind before her departure which had a strict schedule for the grandmother to follow when it came to caring for her boys.
When asked if Coleen would have been angry if Colette hadn’t adhered to the instructions, the mother-of-three raised her eyebrows and said: ‘Oh, I followed the whiteboard all right.’
In an Instagram video the night before she left, Coleen explained the extreme lengths she had gone to make sure her sons were ok while she was away in the Australian Jungle for three weeks.
Revealing two huge whiteboards in her dining room, Coleen said she had covered them with her children’s schedules ‘on both sides’.
