Coleen Rooney has shared exciting news about a big campmate reunion with her I’m A Celeb co-stars and broken her silence for the first time since leaving the show.
Runner-up queen Coleen posted a video on social media and thrilled followers with her social calendar jungle update.
In the candid home video, the star can be seen sat at a table in front of her giant white Christmas tree wearing a burgundy roll neck jumper.
She told fans in the heartfelt monologue: “Hi everyone. Hope you’re all okay. I’m back in the UK, a bit jet lagged.
“The kids are in school and I just wanted to come on to say, wow, I am so overwhelmed with the love, support, generosity and positivity that you’ve all shown while I was in the jungle, and since I’ve come out.
“I can’t thank you enough for your messages, your comments and I am just so glad that you’ve all enjoyed the show this year.
“Thank you to every single one of you who voted for me. You kept me in until the end, so I got the full jungle experience and I can’t thank you enough for that.
“I absolutely loved it. Don’t get me wrong, it was hard.
“It was really hard, but with your love and support and my eleven campmates’ love and support and friendship, you’ve all got me through it and I am so grateful for that.”
The jungle star added: “What a year to be involved in I’m A Celeb. We are friends for life. Our group chat that we have created has not stopped.
“We’ve all been on This Morning saying how jet lagged we are. Me and Alan were on the school run. Some of us are watching trials back and it’s been a joy to be part of.”
On an upcoming big jungle bash, she revealed: “We are all going to enjoy Christmas.
“I hope you all enjoy Christmas and then in the New Year we’re going to get together, have a reunion, do a few things together.”
The mum-of-four is delighted with the positive response she’s had since coming home. She said: “The comments have been fantastic.
“And you know what I’ve loved is that a lot of you all sat down every night as a family and it has brought laughter into your households.
“It brought love, it brought tears and you all went through it together, and we all went through it together as a camp.”
The social-media shy star admitted: “I just had to come on. I need to get used to doing these videos now. I actually feel like I’m sitting in the BT [Bush Telegraph].
“I just love you all and I just can’t thank you enough. Happy Christmas and I will be back on here really soon. Lots of love.”
Coleen wrote besides the clip: “Thank you all soooooo much for the love and support, so overwhelmed and genuinely can’t believe it.
“Thank you to @itv and the amazing @imacelebrity production team, and finally a special special thank you my unreal campmates who have become friends for life.”
Coleen was back wearing her taxi-driver-mum hat as soon as she arrived back in the UK following her I’m A Celebrity success.
The Runner-up jungle queen shared a photo on social media with her three youngest sons in the car as she ferried them around on the school run.
Coleen captioned the candid shot: “Back to the school run!” along with a heart emoji and set it to the song Rather Be by Clean Bandit, referring to the poignant lyrics ‘when I am with you there’s no place I’d rather be’.
