Coleen Rooney to have up to £750,000 of her I'm A Celeb fee taken away

Coleen Rooney was reportedly offered more than £1.5 million to star on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! but she's set to lose a lot of the money to the Australian taxman

Coleen Rooney narrowly missed out on becoming Queen of the Jungle, coming in second place to champion Danny Jones- however, the media personality is reportedly set to face a major blow to her prize money. The relocation of the show back to Australia has also diminished HMRC's slice of the pie compared to the days when the reality series was housed at Gwrych Castle in Wales.
