Danny Jones took the opportunity to question Coleen about Wayne. Referring to his new role as manager of Plymouth Argyle football club, Danny asked: “Do you love managing?”

To which Coleen replied: ‘Well, I don’t know anything about that!’ as the camp laughed in response.
Wayne criticized his Plymouth team following their 6–1 defeat against Norwich, as he claimed the club’s Under-18 team would have performed better.
Plymouth suffered their biggest defeat under Wayne at Carrow Road, with a Borja Sainz hat-trick helping the hosts to a comfortable victory.
The Man United and England legend criticized his team after the match and suggested the club’s under-18 team would not have bowed out so easily.
“We weren’t even close to being good enough; we’re at a minimum with injuries, but that’s no excuse,” he said.
“But if players want to come to the team and stay in the team, then they need to perform better than that.”
“We were lucky to only be trailing 2-1 at half-time. Then you expect a reaction in the second half, but once they made it 3-1 I thought we had sunk, which is very disappointing.
“The players just didn’t seem to think they could do it again.”

“I could probably put the under-18 team in there and they wouldn’t concede six goals, so I’m very disappointed, angry, frustrated and the next 24 to 48 hours are not going to be very pleasant for the players.
“But we need to really get to the bottom of why this is happening.”
The result leaves Plymouth two points clear of the Championship relegation places, while the club is yet to win away from home this season.
The defeat was another big away defeat as Wayne also led a 4-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday and a 5-0 setback against Cardiff.
It comes after Wayne appeared on I’m A Celebrity spin-off show Unpacked on Sunday night, where he spoke about Coleen’s season.
“To be honest, it’s weird seeing her in the jungle,” Wayne said. ‘He’s doing a great job showing his character and personality. She makes us all proud.
The former English footballer added that viewers will be able to see the real Coleen.
‘She is a warm and attentive person. “It’s great to see her close the gap between the older and the younger and settle in.”

When asked how much he and their four children, Kai, 15, Klay, 11, Kit and Cass, missed her, Wayne admitted it had been difficult.
“It’s the longest I’ve gone without talking to her since we were kids,” he revealed.
Wayne also gave insight into how the family is helping to care for his four children while he works in Plymouth while the children reside in Cheshire.
He said: ‘Coleen’s parents are helping enormously. I’m in Plymouth for work so we have a good team looking after the kids but yes we miss her.
Wayne added that he was looking forward to seeing Coleen take on one of the show’s infamous challenges, saying: “I’d love to see her try out.” That’s what going out is all about: testing yourself.
“She would be very good at testing and it would be great for her to have that experience.”
The football legend also confessed that he and the rest of the family are big fans of the show and wouldn’t mind appearing.
‘We watch it most years when we can. The celebrity version is the one we always said we would do.
“Maybe I would try it one day if I’m not working, but it’s not possible right now.”
