Coleen Rooney has landed in Australia ahead of her stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.
The 38-year-old WAG and TV personality was snapped at the airport in Brisbane before she ditches her glamorous life for the ITV jungle. Coleen was sporting a green zip-up bomber jacket from Loewe that will set you back a whopping £1,000 as well as a pair of black leggings.
She’d opted for a casual look for her long-haul flight and looked in high spirits, smiling as she stepped out in front of the cameras. Coleen said she was “excited” to be in Australia for her TV stint but admitted there “might have been a few tears” when she did the final school run before flying to Oz.

Asked if it was an emotional family farewell, she said: “It was for me not for the kids, I just done it as normal.” Asked if she wept, she added: “There might have been, but not from the kids!”
The WAG, once labelled “the nation’s favourite girl next door,” was also asked about the gold necklace she was wearing. She said she’d had the necklace, which bares the name of all her sons, for years.

Coleen recently opened up about how she’s been preparing things at home ahead of her stint on the series, which will launch on Sunday (November 17) at 9pm on ITV and ITVX and lasts three weeks. In a video posted on social media, Coleen said: “Don’t get me wrong. I am really anxious about leaving the kids.
“That’s my biggest thing, and I it for weeks and months that’s been on my mind, but I’ve come to terms with it. I’ve planned, I’ve prepped.

“I’ve got an army of people, family, friends, school friends all helping out with the kids, so they are going to be fine, and they are probably going to have a great time when I’m away.”
Coleen, who recently won her Wagatha Christie case against Rebekah Vardy, said she’s rejected programmes in the past but that the time finally felt right to make her showbiz comeback. She said: “It has been year after year I have been asked to go on a programme and it’s always been a straight no.

“Over the years, there have been different things going on in my life and also, my children have been really young. But they are at an age now where I can go away for this length of time. I also feel it’s time to have a challenge for me and do something different. It has taken many, many years but I’m finally doing it. And I have always said if I was going to do one – then it would be this show. I think it will be good for me.”
She’ll join the likes of Strictly star Oti Mabuse, Corrie star Alan Halsall, singer Tulisa and former boxing champ Barry McGuigan in camp. Love Island star Maura Higgins is also reportedly a late-entry campmate.
