Proud: Wayne says playing in this year's World Cup will be even more special for him because his seven-month-old son Kai will be watchingBritney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and Katie Holmes have all admitted they are Gleeks.
And now the latest, slightly unlikely, fan of hit U.S. TV show Glee is footballer Wayne Rooney, who says he tries never to miss an episode.
But the sportsman will struggle to keep up with the weekly programme while in South Africa with the England team for the World Cup.

So it will be up to his wife Coleen, who is planning to stay in England for the beginning of the tournament, to tape them for him while he is away.
In an interview with Hello! magazine, Wayne said: 'I like Glee, I watch it as well. I like musicals and I love music.'
However, Wayne also revealed his somewhat questionable music tastes, adding: 'The Stereophonics are still my favourite band.
'I like Whitney Houston as well. I think her new album I Look To You is really good.'
Gleek: Wayne is a huge fan of hit U.S. TV show Glee, which follows a high school club battling other schools at singing competitionsWayne's admission comes after his England teammate Steven Gerrard was reported to be a huge fan of the show, which follows a high school Glee club who battle other schools in singing competitions.
The 24-year-old sportsman also spoke about his nerves ahead of the World Cup, which starts on Wednesday, but says knowing his seven-month-old son Kai is watching will help ease his anxiety.
He said: 'It would be nice to win the World Cup for Kai, and also for my family, the fans and the whole country.
'We haven't done it for many years now and if I can be involved in the World Cup-winning team it would be a great feeling, but we have to concentrate on each game first.'
Happy couple: Wayne and Coleen Rooney make the most of their time together in these taken before Wayne jetted off to South Africa with the England teamOne thing missing from Wayne's World Cup tournament, however, will be Coleen, who has decided to watch the games from England.
Coleen, who has said she will fly out to South Africa if England reach the semi-finals, said: 'I'm looking forward to being in England for the World Cup this year, it's going to be an amazing atmosphere.
'I love the idea of being with all of mine and Wayne's friends and family cheering him on, especially with Kai here.'
But Coleen admits she will struggle without her husband for the duration of the World Cup.
She said: 'I'll miss Wayne a lot. I miss him even when he goes away for a few days, never mind weeks. We'll talk on the phone for a few times every day, whenever he's free, and that's normal.
'We will definitely use iChat or Skype during the World Cup so Wayne can see Kai on the screen. I know he is going to miss him.'
