Talking about the experience on I'm A Celeb, Rooney said, "When we lived in America, we were invited to the White House for Christmas and we went in to meet... so it was Donald Trump [who was President]. So we walked in and we got to get like y'know the official photograph taken in front of the Christmas tree and stuff. So Donald Trump said to his son 'see? Told ya, all the soccer players get the good looking girls'. And I told my mum..."

Rooney then said that Trump had "wanted Wayne to go over to like teach his son... like play football with his son." During Rooney’s visit to the White House six years back, it was revealed that Barron was an admirer of Wayne, a football ace.

Band member Danny Jones from McFly asked Rooney about her encounter with Trump, during this week's episode of I'm A Celebrity, saying, "Is he that orange?” "He was very orange!" Rooney replied.
