Crack open the rosé wine because it’s a time of celebration – Coleen Rooney is reportedly bringing back her iconic reality show.
The 38-year-old’s ITV series, Coleen’s Real Women, could be returning to the small screen (we’d like it in cinemas, but we’ll take this for now) following her successful stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
Originally airing in 2008, the show saw Coleen find ‘real’ women and ask them if they’d like to have a go at modelling. She’d guide them as they took on casting sessions for big brands, such as H Samuel, Magnum and Sony. After brief training, they would be pitted against models, who are also real women – we do feel like we need to point that out.
The show lasted just two series before Coleen moved on, but those who love the nostalgia can still dive into the archive on Amazon Prime.
After making it to the final, and only just missing out on the jungle crown to Danny Jones, ITV have decided now is the right time to get Coleen working on a reboot.
The broadcaster are said to have offered her a big-money deal to host a whole bunch of television shows and capitalise on the exposure.

‘ITV really want to sign Coleen up after the jungle and have offered her all kinds of shows including bringing back Coleen’s Real Women, which she loved making,’ a source told The Sun.
There is no time to dilly dally, with Coleen’s star quickly rising: ‘They really want to snap her up before another big money deal tempts her away from ITV.’ It’s also said that she could be a guest host on Loose Women, and it’s not just TV bosses wanting a slice – lifestyle, nutritional brands and high street retailers are also said to be interested.

‘They all want a piece of Coleen. The sky’s the limit,’ the source added.
She has been pitted as a future Holly Willoughby and a contract to join ITV was said to be worth £1 million. Coleen herself said this is a number she hadn’t heard of while appearing on Good Morning Britain and added: ‘I will sit down with my team and see what I’m going to do going forward.’
Coleen, who is married to footballing legend Wayne Rooney, is no stranger to capitalising on interest in her.

When Coleen first emerged into the spotlight in the early 2000s, she made hay while the sun shined. She bought out bedding ranges, perfumes, fitness DVDs, clothing ranges, and even released an autobiography aged just 21.
The star then took time away while she raised her four sons – Kai, 15, Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and Cass, six.
In 2019, Coleen ended up firmly back in the spotlight after she posted an Instagram story that forever changed hun culture.

After Coleen suspected someone was leaking stories about her private life to The Sun, she launched her own investigation. Over a series of months, Coleen shared Instagram stories with fake news about her life, and allowed only one account to see them. It was……. Rebekah Vardy’s account.
Coleen then posted the findings on social media (with the above five words as her conclusion), and her commitment to discovering the truth earned her the ‘Wagatha Christie’ title.
She has since made her own documentary about the situation, Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story. There has also been a fictionalised drama and stage show about the battle.
Metro contacted ITV and Coleen Rooney’s representatives for comment.
