Wayne Rooney has finally returned home to Cheshire five days after his wife Coleen landed in the UK after a month away in Australia appearing on I’m A Celebrity.
The football manager, 39, was not at Manchester airport to meet his wife as she landed with their two youngest sons Kit, eight, and Cass, six, on December 11.
Instead, Wayne has been working away in Plymouth where he is the manager of Championship side, Plymouth Argyle Football Club.
But the family have now finally reunited almost a week after Coleen returned home as he was pictured in Wilmslow, Cheshire, on Monday.
Wayne was sporting a black padded jacket and zip up top with grey joggers, trainers and a baseball cap.
Earlier in the day, Coleen was spotted going makeup free as she headed to the gym in a stylish gym wear set in the local area.
The WAG, 38, looked fresh-faced following a boozy I’m A Celeb welcome home party with her friends and family on Sunday.
Coleen cut a stylish figure in an elegant mini dress as she partied the night away with husband Wayne’s cousin Claire.
The mother-of-four exuded elegance with a glamorous swipe of makeup and let her hair down at the party.
Taking to Instagram, Coleen posted a fun snap with Claire while posing with I’m A Celeb-inspired balloons and decorations.
After her fun weekend catching up with friends and family, Coleen went back to her usual routine and headed to a Pilates class.
As Coleen spent the week settling into life back home, Wayne was hundreds of miles away ‘fighting to keep his job’ as head coach of Plymouth Argyle where he is thought to earn £500,000-per-year.
But while rumours swirl that Wayne’s job is hanging in the balance, he gave no thought to a potential sacking by Plymouth and insists he is focusing on improving the squad in January.
The team have fallen to second-bottom in the table after a run of only one win in 10 matches. The woeful return has heaped pressure on the former Manchester United and England star, who took over the reins at Home Park in the summer.
Wayne retains the support of the Plymouth board and was publicly backed by chairman Simon Hallett earlier this month.
He has claimed to be embracing the pressure that he finds himself under and revealed that his focus is on winter transfer targets to bolster his squad.
‘There is always honest conversations between myself, Neil (Dewsnip, director of football), Andrew (Parkinson, chief executive officer, Simon – whoever that may be – about how can we improve, and from a recruitment point of view what players can we bring in to help, what players do we need, what players do we need to get out.
‘These are all conversations which are going on, so come January we are in the best possible position we can be to get what we need. Getting the injured players back will be like new signings for us but we all know, we are under no illusion, we need to improve the squad, that’s there for everyone to see.
‘We are working extremely hard to put ourselves in the best position to do that as early as possible.’
Last week Coleen returned back to normality and dropped sons Kai, 15, Klay, 11, Kit and Cass to school.
Already reminiscing on her whirlwind jungle experience, Coleen posted the snap which was taken shortly after her exit.
Earlier in the day, Coleen shared a new social media video after landing in the UK from Australia and failing to reunite with her husband Wayne.
The I’m A Celebrity star broke her silence after jetting back home following her incredible success story on the gruelling ITV reality show.
Coleen, who finished in second place, addressed her fans in the clip and thanked viewers for all of their votes and support which led her to the final.
Prior to the weekend, seemingly yet to reunite with her husband Wayne as he worked away in Plymouth managing his football team.
But despite the distance from Wayne, Coleen appeared in high spirits as she teased what is coming next in her ‘megabucks masterplan’ after the jungle.
The TV sensation admitted she needs to ‘get used’ to posting videos on her page, as she hinted she will be online more in the future.
She said: ‘Hi everyone, hope you’re ok. I’m back in the UK. I’m a bit jet lagged.
‘The kids are in school and I just wanted to come on and say wow wow wow, I am so overwhelmed with the love, support, generosity and positivity that you’ve all shown while I was in the jungle and since I’ve come out.
‘I can’t thank you enough for your messages, your comments and I am just so glad that you all enjoyed the show this year. Thank you to every single one of you that voted for me and kept me in until the end, because I got the full jungle experience. I can’t thank you enough for that. I absolutely loved it.
‘Don’t get me wrong, it was hard. It was really hard. But with your love and support and the love and support of my 11 campmates love and support and friendship, you all got me through it and I am so grateful for that.
‘What a year to be involved in I’m A Celeb, what a camp. We are friends for life. Our group chat that we have created has not stopped, we’ve all been on this morning saying how jetlagged we are and me and Alan have been on the school run.
‘Some of us our watching trials back and it’s been a joy to be a part of and we are going to enjoy Christmas and I hope you all enjoy Christmas and then in the New Year we’re going to get together and have a reunion.
‘What I’ve loved is that everyone watched it as a family and it brought love and laughter and tears into households, everyone experienced it together and we experienced it together as a camp.
‘But I just needed to come on, I need to get used to doing these videos – I actually feel like I’m sitting in the BT (Bush Telegraph). But yeah I just love you all. And I can’t thank you enough/ Happy Christmas and I’ll be back on here really soon.’
