The WAG made it to the final of the ITV series
ITV’s I’m A Celebrity runner-up Coleen Rooney has shared the fitness routine that helped her stay in shape during her stint down under. The 38-year-old, who lost out to McFly’s Danny Jones in being named this year’s queen, managed to maintain her workout regimen despite the lack of gym equipment in the Australian jungle.
The mum-of-four said her time on the reality show was “hilarious and challenging”, and she had made memories to last her a lifetime. One of those challenges includes swapping her usual reformer Pilates workouts for bodyweight squats.
She told the Daily Mail: “At home every morning when I’m in the shower I do squats. I get up before the kids get up and I’ll do a routine of squats and I know if I’ve got them done I can carry on. I would also do a few gym sessions and Reformer Pilates, but in the Jungle, obviously, it was my squats.”

Viewers got a peek at her routine as she often slipped away from camp to do some squats. In the Bush Telegraph, Coleen added: ‘I wake up really early so I pretty much try and keep the routine that I do back home. I try and sneak off to do them on my own. I usually do squats in the shower.” Coleen said she did 126 squats daily and got her cardio in by hiking through the jungle and walking up and down the stairs.
It comes after our own ECHO reporter Emilia Bona tried out the £9 class loved by the Liverpool-born WAG. Emilia headed down to RISE Fitness Studios, located in the south of the the city, to work up a sweat doing one of the classes Coleen does three times a week.
Emilia was put through her paces by morning instructor Tess as they did everything from weights, resistance bands and the reformer machine. Tess said Coleen comes in “as and when she can” but when she does is an “all levels class-goer”. You can read about Emilia’s experience here.
