Coleen Rooney is in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! final, which airs on Sunday evening, but there is no cash prize up for grabs for the winner.

Rooney's finances have been in the spotlight thanks to the infamous Wagatha Christie case involving Rebekah Vardy but Sunday's I'm A Celebrity final won't affect the amount of money she makes from her time in the jungle regardless of the outcome.

The winner will have to settle for a crown and a round of applause as they head back over the bridge to civilisation.

Rooney is up against McFly's Danny Jones and the Rev. Richard Coles in the final and the winner will be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle, but no cash prize is on the line.

I'm A Celebrity contestants agree an appearance fee with the show's producers and that's the flat fee they take away as long as they remain in the jungle for 72 hours.

The trio of finalists have seen off nine rivals in Series 24. Columnist Jane Moore was eliminated first and followed out of the jungle by radio presenter Dean McCullough, singer Tulisa, TV and radio presenter Melvin Odoom and boxing legend Barry McGuigan, a titan of nineties terrestrial television in the UK.

Model Maura Higgins, actor Alan Halsall, social media personality GK Barry and former Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse have also left the camp.

Rooney's time Down Under has been eventful and she's had some stories to tell about husband Wayne Rooney, the former Manchester United and England footballer and current manager of Plymouth Argyle.

Wayne's tattoo choices, proposal and poetry have all had some airtime while the man himself was forbidden from visiting Australia during filming. Coleen has swapped her swanky engagement and wedding rings for a more practical and jungle-friendly symbol of the Rooneys' enduring union.

ITV's light entertainment behemoth first aired in August 2002, eight days after a teenage Wayne Rooney's Premier League debut for Everton. Its sporting winners are cricket legend Phil Tufnell, serial World Superbike champion Carl Fogarty, former footballer and manager Harry Redknapp and England international Jill Scott.

Rooney would become the first sporting WAG to wear the crown.
