She is the ultimate doting mother and has expressed concern over leaving her four sons for a month as she travels to Australia to compete in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.
But Coleen Rooney could see her boys Kai, 13, Klay, 10, Kit, seven, and Cass, five, sooner than expected as they are likely to greet her as she crosses the bridge when she leaves the camp.
The 38-year-old wife of former Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney, does not have a nanny for her young sons who are cared for by her mother, Colette, when she is away.
Appearing on the ITV flagship show is such a momentous occasion for Coleen and it’s not likely her mother, whom she is extremely close with, will miss it and will no doubt take the boys.
ITV insiders are anticipating the family jetting out in the coming weeks to support Coleen as she spends up to three weeks in the Australian jungle.

As all four attend private school, it will mean leaving the Autumn Term early as the show wraps on the 10 December.
But as a notoriously strict mother, the Vogue cover star will have insisted they take their books with them on the once-in-a-lifetime trip.
Coleen has an incredibly close-knit circle from her hometown of Liverpool and another person expected to make the trip Down Under in the coming weeks is her childhood best friend and Wayne’s cousin, Claire.
The 33-year-old has been a steadfast figure in the couple’s tumultuous relationship and is fiercely protective of Coleen and the boys.
If they make the trip out, the group will wait for Coleen as she competes in the Jungle with the likes of McFly’s Danny Jones and Love Island’s Maura Higgins at the luxury Marriott Hotel in Surfer’s Paradise.
Meanwhile Wayne, 39, will be forced to remain behind in the UK where he manages the EFL Championship club, Plymouth Argyle, to see the results of his team.
The Devon-based club have matches scheduled for November 22, 26 and 30 as well as December 7, 10, and 14.
And Coleen was reportedly ‘gutted’ that her husband would be forced to miss out on reuniting with her on the famous bridge.

A source told The Sun: ‘Coleen will be gutted Wayne can’t get out there to meet her, but she understands how demanding his job is. He’s desperate to string a decent set of results together before Christmas.
‘He and Coleen have been living miles apart for months so that will have prepared them for the separation.’
‘Coleen’s very family-orientated so she’ll find the show tough. Whoever is waiting for her, it’ll be incredibly emotional.’
MailOnline has contacted Coleen’s representative for comment.
Meanwhile, Rebekah Vardy will be losing sleep over Coleen’s appearance on I’m a Celebrity, while her Wagatha Christie case lawyers will be carefully watching what her rival says, experts told MailOnline.
Coleen is rumoured to be earning at least £1.5million for signing up for the ITV primetime hit hosted by Ant and Dec.
Her decision to go has been described as the ‘ultimate revenge’ on her rival because Rebekah was booted out early in the 2017 series.
One source close to Leicester City WAG Rebekah has claimed she now has no interest in the programme any longer and most certainly won’t be watching.
But one expert told MailOnline that she will be ‘glued’ to ITV to watch everything Coleen says about her, while another source has said that Rebekah’s legal team will also be watching like hawks.
