'Gutted' Coleen Rooney won't be supported by husband Wayne during one of I'm A Celeb's most emotional scenes

WAYNE Rooney will not meet wife Coleen on the bridge after her stint on I'm A Celebrity — due to his busy footie schedule.
His struggling Plymouth Argyle side have four games in 16 days during the course of the Aussie jungle show.
It starts this Sunday and finishes on December 8.
Plymouth play on November 22, 26 and 30 as well as December 7.
They also have games on December 10 and 14.
They drew 1-1 with Wazza's old side Derby County on Saturday, putting The Pilgrims on 16 points.
England hero Wayne, 39, took over as manager in the summer.
A source said: "Coleen will be gutted Wayne can't get out there to meet her, but she understands how demanding his job is.
“He's desperate to string a decent set of results together before Christmas. He and Coleen have been living miles apart for months so that will have prepared them for the separation."
Mum-of-four Coleen, 38, may be met by best pal Claire Rooney — Wayne's cousin — or parents Colette and Tony.
The source said: "Coleen's very family-orientated so she'll find the show tough. Whoever is waiting for her, it'll be incredibly emotional."
