Wayne Rooney stays in a luxury hotel before I'm a Celebrity

Wayne Rooney is staying at a five-star hotel in Australia before joining ITV's I'm a Celebrity.

The hotel reportedly costs £2,000 a night, while some castmates are staying in self-catered apartments costing up to £200 a night.

The celebrities are in Australia ahead of the show's launch on November 16.

Rooney is among a cast that includes Chloe Burrows, Joanna Page, Ade Adepitan and Ricky Wilson.

The contestants are expected to swap their accommodation for life in the jungle camp, where Rooney may sleep in a hammock.

Rooney said taking part would be his biggest exposure on television and that he hopes viewers see him as genuine.

The show will put him on television each night for three weeks, according to his comments.
