Coleen Rooney has revealed the mistake her footballer husband Wayne almost made as he was getting a tribute to her tattooed on his arm. 

The WAG, 38, opened up about the near gaffe during Tuesday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here.

During the episode, the media personality discussed the early days of her relationship with the former England player with her fellow camp mates. 

Coleen and Wayne first met when they were just 12 years old but the pair did not start dating until she was 16.

Despite getting together so young, Wayne was certain Coleen was the one and showed his commitment to her with a very permanent tribute. 

However, Coleen told the campmates that despite Wayne being so sure of his love that he wanted a permanent tribute – he wasn’t sure how to spell her name.

She admitted: ‘I just used to get embarrᴀssed’, before clarifying that the car wasn’t his, ‘he just used to get a lift home!’

The Loose Women panellist, 62, admitted she got inked when she was eighteen years old – but pulled out halfway through the process as it was ‘too painful’.

Speaking of tattoos in camp, Jane quizzed Danny on whether there’s a story to his own array of designs.

Reading one on his chest which says: ‘The day’s worthwhile when you make someone smile’ he revealed that’s what his Grandad always said.

Lifting the lid on her own tattoo story, Jane explained: ‘When I was about 18, I thought I’m gonna get a bluebird on my bum. They just did the outline and I went ‘too painful, thanks’, and I just left.

‘So I’ve just got this outline. It’s like a golden eagle now because my a**e has got bigger!’
