Coleen Rooney channelled husband Wayne’s sports-star during last night’s I’m A Celebrity Cyclone trial twist.
The WAG, 38, was among the eight remaining campmates who competed in the trial to win a ticket which guarantees immunity from the next two vote offs as well as a coveted place in the epic Cyclone final challenge.
After Wednesday’s episode, body language expert Judi James has revealed that Danny Jones and Alan Halshall exhibited ‘aggressive arousal’ as they headed into battle.
However fan-favourite Coleen remained calm, reserved her energy and magnified her focus as she ‘knows what winning looks like’.
Speaking to Paddy Power Games, Judi said: ‘Coleen though stood with her hands clasped behind her back in a mimicry ritual of football players before a big match.’
Comparing her work in the trial to husband Wayne, 39, she added: ‘Like her husband in his heyday, her speed was incredible once the task began.

‘The critters that were meant to put them off were dismissed as irrelevant by Coleen with a quick flick of the head and the shots we got of her goggled face as she picked up the balls showed a constant smile that was almost gleeful, showing her Wayne-like total enjoyment of playing for high stakes.’
Judi paid a sweet nod to Wayne’s supportive side – after he left Coleen tearful at a message sent to her in the jungle.
She said: ‘She threw herself at the tank of fish guts with her hands and arms in a dive gesture to show total immersion techniques.
‘Wayne would have been proud of her and perhaps a little intimidated, too.
‘Coleen might have started the task in focused mode but, again like all Premier League footballers, she knew the peacocking and showboating should come after a win – not before it.
‘She began with her hands behind her back, but she ended with her hands on her hips and her legs splayed in a pose of confident victory that Wayne would have been proud of.’
Tuesday’s episode of the ITV show saw hosts Ant and Dec arrive unexpectedly in camp for the second time that day.
They revealed that over the next two days campmates would compete to win a ticket to the Cyclone trial.

The campmates were split into two groups to take part in their Bushtucker Trials as it was explained there would be two winners from each group who would then go head to head in Thursday’s trial to win a ‘golden ticket’ through to the final.
The first four celebrities to face the Arcade of Agony were Danny Jones, GK Barry, Reverend Richard Coles and Coleen.
Meanwhile Alan Halsall, Maura Higgins, Barry McGuigan and Oti Mabuse took part in a trial later in the episode.
Revealing the results at the end of the episode, Ant and Dec confirmed Coleen, Danny, Maura and Oti won the most tickets and will therefore fight for immunity.
However the immunity twist has been branded as ‘manipulative’ by viewers as they slammed the decision, arguing it has given ITV the power to decide who is in the final.
After watching the first trial, viewers also noticed the tickets weren’t counted therefore the winners weren’t revealed as they suggested it was ‘rigged.’

Elsewhere in the trial medics were called into action after Coleen had a critter stuck in her ear.
As time was up on the trial, she emerged from her grabbing booth in a state of shock, shouting: ‘I’ve got one in my ear!’
Medics were called in to take a closer look and removed it safely with a syringe, as the critter then crawled out her ear.
Ant watching on said: ‘Oh my god! It just jumped out!’
