Coleen Rooney's Arrival in Australia

Coleen Rooney, the beloved television personality and wife of football legend Wayne Rooney, has arrived in Australia as the last contestant to join the much-anticipated new season of “I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!” The 38-year-old star, known for her relaxed style, was spotted in chic black leggings and a stylish sage green zip-up jacket as she landed on Australian soil, bringing a special surprise with her.

Emotional Pre-Departure Moments

In an emotional pre-departure moment, Coleen revealed that there were “a few tears” shed during her final school run with her four children—Kai, 15, Klay, 11, Kit, 8, and Cass, 6. While the kids reportedly took the routine in stride, Coleen admitted it was more challenging for her. She explained, “It was emotional for me, not for the kids. I just did it as normal.”

Cherished Goodbyes with Wayne

Before leaving, Coleen cherished a tender goodbye with Wayne, who wished her “good luck” for the adventure ahead. Reflecting on her personal journey, she shared a touching gold necklace that features the names of her sons, symbolizing her love and connection to them. When asked if she would be allowed to wear it during her jungle stint, Coleen responded, “I’m not sure yet, but I’ve had it for years and always wear it. You can spot it in past photos!”

Return to the Spotlight

Despite stepping back from the spotlight after becoming a mom in 2010, Coleen made headlines in 2019 amid a sensational legal battle dubbed the 'Wagatha Christie' case, which reignited her public persona. Now, she is excited about the new challenge that lies ahead in the reality TV arena.

Anxiety of Leaving the Kids

In a heartfelt video posted on social media, she emphasized her apprehension about leaving her children, despite being fully organized for their care in her absence. “I’m really anxious about leaving the kids... I’ve planned, I’ve prepped, and I have an army of family and friends to help out,” she said, introducing little ‘surprise packages’ for her kids to open when they return home from school.

Support from Wayne

Moreover, Coleen hinted at Wayne's potential interest in joining a future season of the show, expressing his supportive nature in her new venture. She revealed, “He’s okay with it all, though he did joke, ‘You know you’re going to be on camera 24/7?’”

A Journey of Self-Discovery

As her children grow, she sees this as a perfect opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth. “This is the first time I feel I can go away for this length of time, and I finally feel it's time to take on a challenge for myself,” she stated.

Ready for the Jungle Challenge

With her supportive family standing by, Rooney is now ready to trade her busy home life for the unpredictable challenges of the jungle. Will she emerge as the queen of the jungle? Fans will certainly be tuning in to find out!
