Coleen Rooney dazzled in a red dress just days after waving off husband Wayne ahead of his I’m A Celebrity jungle debut.

Coleen Rooney looked in great spirits as she stepped out in a stunning red dress at a charity gala in Liverpool just days after saying goodbye to husband Wayne ahead of his jungle debut.

The 40-year-old was photographed arriving at Jamie Carragher’s Football For Change gala at the M&S Bank Arena on Saturday night, smiling as she joined a packed guestlist of sporting and TV stars for the annual fundraiser.

Her night out comes as excitement builds for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! which returns to ITV tomorrow at 9pm, with husband Wayne preparing to swap luxury living for life in camp after being confirmed in the line-up last weekend.

Wayne arrived in Brisbane on Sunday (November 9) and is now expected to begin the show’s notoriously tough routine of bushtucker trials, basic rations and sleeping outdoors.

The former England and Manchester United star will be joined in the jungle by a host of well-known faces, including Gavin & Stacey actress Joanna Page, TV presenter and former Paralympian Ade Adepitan, Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson and Love Island star Chloe Burrows.

Wayne is following in Coleen’s footsteps after she impressed viewers when she took part two years ago, going all the way to the final and finishing runner-up. Fans will now be watching closely to see whether Wayne can match her run, with bookies already tipping him as one of the early favourites.

At the gala, Coleen was seen mingling with some of Wayne’s former teammates, including Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher, who have both backed him to be a hit in the jungle.

The stars came together to help raise £250,000 for Carragher’s charity Football For Change, which aims to tackle inequality and create opportunities for young people who face barriers to education, employment and personal development.

Now in its sixth year, the annual gala has become a star-studded event, bringing together celebrities, sports stars and supporters to raise money for the cause.

Among those also attending were Carol Vorderman, Micah Richards and Paddy McGuinness, who hosted the evening. Music on the night came from performances by Gabrielle and Tom Grennan, helping to round off the fundraiser in style.
