Wayne Rooney missed Friday night's episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! as he was busy guiding his Plymouth side to a dramatic 2-2 draw with Watford in the Championship.
The former England striker saw his side move up to 17th place as they twice came from behind to rescue a point thanks to a 96th-minute equaliser from Andre Gray.
Gray had already hit a stunning volley in the 23rd minute to cancel out Vakoun Bayo's ninth-minute opener, before Ryan Porteous put Watford back in front from close range.
But the Jamaican national, who was taunted by the Watford fans following a five-year spell at Vicarage Road between 2017 and 2022, had the final laugh as he fired home a late leveller.
His curling effort arrowed into the top corner as Plymouth struck in stoppage-time for the fifth time in the last six home games, sparking jubilant celebrations from Rooney on the touchline.
Meanwhile, his wife Coleen was 10,508 miles away in the Australian jungle writing her own headlines. The mother-of-four, 38, was quick to suspect that other contestants were being deceitful, reminding viewers of her £3million lawsuit with Jamie Vardy's wife Rebekah.
Fans branded Coleen the ultimate sleuth as one wrote on X: 'Coleen Rooney better than the MI6 that woman #ImACeleb'.
Rooney may have become accustomed to his wife's absence by now, as his family live in Cheshire, 260 miles away from his rented seaside flat in Plymouth. The 38-year-old can be found frequenting local bars on his evenings off, as the stress of managing his side in a relegation battle seems to be overwhelming.
Nevertheless, tonight's result against play-off contenders Watford will do much to lift his spirits.
Rooney heaped praise on Gray after he came back to his haunt his former club.
He said: 'Andre's second goal was a fantastic goal and the first goal is so hard in terms of technique.
'That finish is world class. I was going to take him off but made a decision to leave him on as he can produce a moment.
'Andre has been fantastic since joining us, a great character around the dressing room. He has been a breath of fresh air and I am delighted for him.
'It is great to get a point as Watford are a very powerful team.'
For Watford, who moved up to fifth, it is now just two wins from nine away games.
Hornets boss Tom Cleverley groaned: 'I am not quite sure how we have not picked up three points.
'Andre Gray is one of our ex-players and an ex-teammate of mine.
'Sometimes that gives players an extra 10 per cent and his quality in the final third is what has got them a point today.
'We weren't clinical enough but I can't be too angry with the players.'
