I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here viewers went wild after Coleen Rooney and Alan Halsall lied about how many stars they had won in the Bushtucker Trial on Monday’s episode
The WAG, 38, and Corrie star, 42, took part in The Farmyard of Fear challenge after volunteering that morning
‘THE LIES #ImACeleb #ImACeleb2024.’,
‘watching coleen and alan fool everyone into thinking they’ll go hungry tonight #imaceleb #imacelebrity2024.’,
‘get coleen a job in corrie. that was hilarious #ImACeleb.’,
‘Alan and Coleen messing with the other campmates pretending to only get 2 stars! #imacelebrity #ImACeleb.’,
‘this is actually hilarious the fact that everyone believes they only got two stars #ImACeleb.’,
‘Coleen and Alan just joking about only getting 2 stars leading to everyone panicking about rations and having to skip lunch #ImACeleb.’
That morning, the camp received news of the day’s Bushtucker Trial, The Farmyard of Fear, with Alan and Coleen putting their hands up to take it on.
As the Northern duo headed down to the Trial area, they came face-to-face with another Northern duo – Ant and Dec, who explained what the farmyard tour had in store for them.
They were told they had to transport the ‘jungle nasties’ from the sinister silo a floor above into the wheelbarrow, which was positioned below on the jungle floor, around the farm yard and into the jungle scales.

They were told they had to transport the ‘jungle nasties’ from the sinister silo a floor above into the wheelbarrow, which was positioned below on the jungle floor, around the farm yard and into the jungle scales
Alan started up top, using a tray which was positioned around his neck to catch all the jungle nasties and send them down to Coleen who was waiting below.
It would then be her job to transport the jungle nasties in the wheelbarrow around the farmyard to the weighing scales.
The more weight they added to the scales, the more meals they’d win for camp, with 10 minutes to win all 10 available stars.
With their game faces on, the klaxon sounded and the first drop of offal and raw eggs dropped down onto Alan’s tray.
However, it wasn’t long before there was a miscommunication between the two, as with the distance between them they couldn’t quite hear one another.
Alan said after dropping the first lot of jungle nasties into the wheelbarrow below: ‘Stay there I’m gonna get some more’, while Coleen was already off wheeling the wheelbarrow away.
This meant while Coleen was transferring the offal and eggs from the wheelbarrow to the scales, Alan was already at the drop off point with the second round, which he dropped to the jungle floor below much to Ant and Dec’s amusement.
Dec laughed and said: ‘What a waste!’ As Ant urged: ‘That’s why communication is key!’
Not letting this deter them, they picked up the pace and began shouting actions to one another, so Coleen and her wheelbarrow didn’t miss the drops from Alan’s tray above.
Clearly getting a workout in with all the running around, Ant asked Coleen if she had done her squats that morning, and she replied: ‘I haven’t but I think this will make up for it!’
Smashing through it, the two got very messy while transporting the jungle nasties from A to B, with more than a few miscommunications along the way.
However, they persevered and the speedy duo managed to win all 10 stars for camp, with a minute to spare.

Heading back to camp, Alan and Coleen hatched a sneaky plan to pretend they only got 2 stars, and then surprise them when the dinner came that evening.
Coleen told Alan: ‘I’ll do my best acting skills, you can mark me out of ten!’
As they returned and gave their convincing performances, Alan joked to Coleen: ‘I’ll be getting you a job in Coronation Street before you know it!’ as he added: ‘She’ll be the barmaid of the Rovers Return before you know it!’
I’m A Celebrity continues at 9pm on Tuesday night on ITV.
