Coleen Rooney reunites with her sons

Coleen was clear that she was vying for the coveted title to make her sons proud, and they came to the jungle to support their mum.

Last night, however, Danny was crowned the King of the Jungle after millions of people picked him against Coleen.

The mum of four enjoyed her journey on I’m A Celebrity, nevertheless, and gave a shout-out to her fellow campmates after she became the runner-up.

I’m crying.

Speaking to Ant and Dec, Coleen said: “It was amazing. I didn’t think I would get this far. So, this is a massive feeling for me.

“Danny truly deserves it. So does everyone else. It was a fantastic camp. I was just happy to share the journey with everyone,” she continued.

The hosts then pointed to the other side of the room where Coleen’s mum waited with her two sons. The WAG – who briefly reunited with her kids earlier on this week – went on to hug Kit and Cass in an emotional reunion, leaving Ant tearful.

An emotional Ant was seen rubbing his eyes as he said: “I’m crying.” He and his co-host proceed to crown the new King in the presence of Sam Thompson – winner of the last series.
