Coleen Rooney's friend Danielle Lloyd has given an insight into the WAG's multi-millionaire lifestyle and A-list friendship group, but insists: 'she's just a normal mum'.
The former glamour model, 40, became friends with mother-of-four Coleen, 38, when they were teenagers in Liverpool and is fully behind her as she competes in this year's I'm A Celebrity.
'She will have loads of stories to tell - she's met some amazing people and is friends with Ed Sheeran, Beyonce and Jay-Z,' Danielle told New! Magazine.
'I think she'll get on really well with all the girls. I don't think there's anyone I can really see her clashing with, she's the kind of person who gets on with everyone.'
Coleen and husband Wayne, 39, have been friends with Ed for years. In 2022, the couple went to see him in concert for their 14th wedding anniversary.
The WAG also saw him with her girl pals in Manchester a year later and shared a backstage snap with the singer on Instagram.

She penned at the time: 'Always the best night. Good luck with your new album.'
Despite rubbing shoulders with huge stars in the industry, Danielle insists Coleen's multi-millionaire lifestyle has not changed her.
She said: 'She's not materialistic. People will probably expect her to be like: "Oh I have got my luxury this and that" but she won't be.
When they see how normal she is, they'll think: "wow". Most of the time I'll see her going to the gym with her hair scraped back and really natural.
'Although she's got a lot of money and a lovely house and drives a nice car, she doesn't live a very glamorous lifestyle.'
Danielle added she thinks Wayne and their four sons; Kai, 13, Klay, 10, Kit, seven, and Cass, five, will fly out before the series ends to meet her in Australia.
'I think one of the biggest reasons Coleen is doing the show is to do something normal for herself and get out of the normal "mum routine",' she said.
Danielle also revealed when she quizzed her pal if she was going into the jungle, Coleen hinted she was as she replied with a winking face emoji.
Danielle said she thinks viewers will be surprised just how down to earth Coleen is, despite living a multimillionaire lifestyle
Coleen is also friends with Beyonce, according to Danielle
Coleen and husband Wayne, 39, have been friends with Ed for years
Last year, Coleen revealed Wayne once turned down the chance to meet Jay-Z because he was too hungover.
The rapper, 54, requested to meet the former England player backstage at Glastonbury in 2011.
Speaking to Vernon Kay on Radio 2, she said: 'We got to the Sunday, we'd been there since the Thursday, and we were fortunate to have a connection to get side of stage.
'So we went over - well I say we, me and the girls - because Wayne was a bit delicate by the Sunday and wasn't in any mood to be walking over to the main stage at this point.
'So I went over with the girls and he said he'd follow us over. We were in a seated area backstage and Jay-Z comes over and he says, "Nice to meet you. Where's your husband?"
Coleen, who wanted to meet Beyoncé, added: 'I was like, "He's coming over in a minute".
Wayne proceeded to tell Coleen he 'can't be bothered' but admitted he regretted it the next again day.
The star had earlier been watching his wife Beyoncé close the bill on the festival's Pyramid Stage from the pit at the front of stage with his and Bey's friend friend Gwyneth Paltrow.
A snap from the day saw Coleen and her friends with Jay-Z after partying in the VIP section.
It appeared that Coleen had a fabulous time at the festival, posting on her Twitter at the time: 'What a weekend. It was brilliant!'
