Coleen, 28, can be seen sitting by her swimming pool, as she accepts the challenge, and nominates Piers Morgan and Sheree Murphy.

However Coleen was pretty forgiving, later tweeting: 'Ice bucket challenge.. And the bucket getting chucked on my head hurt as well @waynerooney'

Everyone from Cheryl Cole to Oprah is taking part in the ice bucket challenge to raise awareness for motor neurone disease or ALS.
However the co-founder of the successful campaign, Corey Griffin, 27, tragically died yesterday after reportedly drowning. His campaign has so far raised £22 million.
