The final six remaining celebrities on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! got an extra special treat on Friday 6 December, as each received a surprise visit from friends and family. GK Barry was visited by her mum, Richard by his brother Will, Danny saw his wife and son Cooper, and Oti was reunited with her husband Marius. Perhaps the most emotional reunion of the day, however, was the one between Coleen Rooney and her two youngest sons.

Kit’s first reaction when he hugged his mum was “She stinks!” while Coleen cried as she hugged him, saying: “I’m crying because I’m happy, because I’ve missed you so much!” She went on to give her mum and sons a tour of the camp, while Cass tried on her jungle hat. Sadly, she then had to hug and kiss the boys goodbye, while reassuring them it would be only two more days before they would all be together again, and then it would also be the countdown to Christmas.
Coleen has four sons with husband Wayne – Kai, who is 15, Klay, aged 11, eight year old Kit and six year old Cass. During her time in the jungle, Coleen has opened up about her life and family, and admitted she found it tough following Kai’s birth when she was 23. “I just threw myself on the bed sobbing. But then I started thinking about other women who were less fortunate than me, so women on their own, single parents.”

“The emotions just take over you. And also what I found hard is this baby is now your responsibility for life and where our life before that was quite spontaneous. Wayne never knew when he would get time off from week to week… We’d just do things in the spur of the moment whereas now life was a plan. We had to plan it out.”
She also spoke about how husband Wayne’s fame has affected their children.
“That’s the thing with kids I think, it’s hard to go on days out,” she said. “Kai told Wayne to stop coming to football games, when he played grassroots tournaments and stuff because he used to get swarmed and he couldn’t even watch the game.”
“How do you say to all of these kids, ‘Go away, I’m watching my son?’ Adults it’s different, you could speak to them, so Kai just said, ‘Oh, Dad, there’s no point you coming because you don’t even watch me play anyway,’ which is sad but it can’t be helped. At the same time, the fans help you along the way and get you where you are.”
