Ex-England skipper Wayne, 41, has been relaxing on Queensland’s Gold Coast after checking in to his £2,000-a-night five-star hotel.

But his online video showed he seemed to have a touch of sunburn.

A source said: “Wayne is enjoying his last few nights of luxury before entering the camp. He’s caught a bit of the sun, which has been a treat given the rain has been on and off since he arrived.

“Wayne’s staying in a really nice hotel and will certainly miss it when he’s sleeping in a hammock.”

But not all this year’s ITV stars are in such luxurious surroundings.

Love Island’s Chloe Burrows, who flew into Brisbane yesterday, is staying at a more modest £200-a-night apartment.

In preparation for the jungle show, Wayne has joined TikTok.

Three hours after his account was opened, he had 56,000 followers and his first video had been viewed nearly a million times.

In the clip, dad-of-four Wayne said: “Hello, everyone, I’ve been told that I’ve got to join TikTok and I’ve also been told that I’ve got to introduce myself.

“I’m Wayne. I’m going in the jungle so I’ll see you all on here when I get back.”

Meanwhile wife Coleen, 40, runner-up on the 2024 series, has also joined the platform.

Her account gained more than 22,000 followers in two hours, with her video getting 200,000 views.

Coleen said: “Hi, everyone, I’ve just seen that Wayne has joined TikTok and I thought, ‘He can’t be on TikTok and I’m not’.

“So here I am and you’ll be seeing a lot more of me. I just want to say a massive good luck to Wayne going in the jungle. I can’t believe that he’s actually going in.

“He’s there and ready to go and me and the kids can’t wait to watch, I hope you all enjoy it too.”

The ITV1 and ITVX show starts at 9pm on Monday.
