The mum-of-four came second on this year’s I’m A Celebrity..Get Me Out Of Here!
Coleen Rooney has been seen in Brisbane Airport heading home from Australia with her sons, Kit and Cass. The mum-of-four, 38, is flying back to the UK after coming second on this year’s I’m A Celebrity..Get Me Out Of Here!
Cutting a casual figure, sporting a chic black linen jacket with matching trousers and white trainers, Coleen held Cass’ hand as they walked through the airport ready to catch their flight – The Mirror reports.
Cass, six, looked adorable wearing his mum’s jungle hat while his older brother, Kit, eight, looked ready for the long journey, sporting a black hoodie and shorts. Also joining the trio were Coleen’s parents, who have been in Australia supporting their daughter.
Coleen’s husband, Wayne, is not Down Under due to his commitment managing Plymouth Argyle in the Championship. However, the WAG has revealed the first thing the former footballer said to her when she left the jungle.
Speaking to Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid, on Good Morning Britain, the mum-of-four said: “He just said how much he missed me, how proud he was and that the support back home has been unbelievable.” Coleen added: “He just can’t wait to see me and I can’t wait to see him as well.”
While she was in the jungle, Coleen was surprised with a visit from her mum Colette, as well as her two youngest boys Kit and Cass. The emotional reunion saw the Scouser break down in tears as she told her sons: “I’m crying because I’m happy, because I’ve missed you so much.”
Speaking about going on the show, Coleen said on GMB : “I felt ready to give it a go. It was a challenge for myself to take myself away from my family, and I don’t regret anything now after coming out.”
Talking to the Mirror about how proud she was of her daughter in the jungle, Colette said: “As I held her, one of the things she said to me was ‘mum, have I been boring?’ It broke my heart hearing that but I said, ‘no, you’ve been yourself and that’s all that matters.”
“She is obviously thinking about what people are thinking, but she needn’t worry. If she went in shouting and being loud, that wouldn’t be her. We’ve seen the true Coleen.”
In the rare interview, Colette said that her daughter’s jungle experience has been just the tonic needed after a tough two years centered around her High Court battle. But watching her daughter on screen, she firmly believes that the show has helped get her zest for life back.
“Absolutely, the show’s helped it come back, and also her confidence, because she was really lacking in it,” Colette said. Asked what it was like as a mum seeing her daughter struggle during this time, she said: “Horrendous, because at one time during the trial, we lost Coleen.
“Coleen wasn’t Coleen. She couldn’t be herself. We didn’t know before the trial what was going on because she didn’t tell us. We noticed a difference in her behaviour, in her attitude, she even distanced herself. So when it all came out, it was a relief for us, really, because then we knew what was going on. But now we’ve got her back fully.”
