Coleen Rooney may have recently been tipped as Queen Of The Jungle but her husband Wayne seems to be making some television moves all of his own.
The former Man United star, 39, could be set to find himself at the centre of a four-way bidding war over his new documentary.
Disney+, Sky, Netflix, and Amazon are all reportedly interested in the new documentary charting his first year as the manager of Plymouth Argyle.
According to The Mirror’s insiders, the documentary is set to be interspersed with footage at home with Coleen and show Wayne’s life as a manager ‘in the round’.
The documentary is being produced by Lorton Entertainment who have an exclusive deal with the Rooneys, having previously made Coleen’s documentary The Real Wagatha Story on Disney.
The company were also behind the feature-length documentary titled Rooney, about the life of the former England captain, which was released in 2022.

According to The Mirror, filming has already begun and a production crew has been spotted at recent matches, including Argyle’s recent 1-0 Championship win against Portsmouth, and their 1-1 draw at Derby County.
Both Wayne and the football club are set to benefit financially as the streamers are reportedly set to put in seven-figure deals in a bid to land the documentary.
One source told The Mirror: ‘It’s early days but there is already a massive buzz around this project, which will show Wayne the football manager, as well as the family man, and how these two areas of his life co-exist.’
They added: ‘Coleen may be in the jungle with all the cameras on her…but Wayne is just as in the spotlight too, and this project is set to be great news not only for the family coffers but also Plymouth Argyle who are partners in the vision.’
Wayne, who took over at Argyle in May, previously insisted that the documentary would not interfere with the day-to-day running of the club.
He said: ‘They are not around every minute of every day. There will be set days which we give them to film. It’s not going to be a massive difference for the players or for the staff to deal with. I think it will be good for the club.’
But he admitted ‘big brands’ were looking to take it without disclosing any more information.
The documentary follows in the footsteps of the previous football club series Welcome to Wrexham featuring owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds on Disney+.

Meanwhile, Netflix’s Sunderland ‘Til I Die lasted three series and followed the fortunes of the Black Cats.
Premier League Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal have also been the subject of behind-the-scenes documentaries in recent years.
It comes after it was reported that Coleen signed a £1.5million deal for her stint on I’m A Celebrity, but that is a small amount compared to the mega payday that will be coming her way.
Insiders for The Mirror say she could easily eclipse her husband Wayne’s estimated £80million lifetime earnings after she invested heavily in a company now floated on the Stock Exchange for £350m.
Coleen bought as many shares as she could in Liverpool sports health firm Applied Nutrition after becoming an ambassador for the brand.
She has also signed up to launch her own range of proteins, collagen and vitamin supplements for the company in January.
Before flying to Australia, she was thrilled to learn that her range would be stocked by Holland & Barrett, with supermarkets to follow.
