Coleen Rooney<\/a> has revealed how her former I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out Of Here<\/a>! campmate Alan Halsall<\/a> is trying to land her a role in Coronation Street<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The actor, who plays Tyrone Dobbs<\/a> on the ITV<\/a> soap, appeared on last year\u2019s series of the reality alongside Coleen, who is married to former England football captain Wayne Rooney<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During their time in the jungle, fans saw how Alan was impressed with Coleen\u2019s acting skills when they fibbed about the number of stars they had won in a Bushtucker Trial. <\/p>\n

Alan joked at the time: \u2018I\u2019ll be getting you a job in Coronation Street before you know it!\u2019 <\/p>\n
