ITV I'm A Celebrity fans spot something missing from Coleen Rooney's goodbye message
Coleen Rooney has been announced as one of the contestants taking part in I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! She will be joined in the jungle by a number of other famous faces.
The full line-up includes McFly's Danny Jones, Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall, Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse among other celebrities making up the star studded cast. While all celebrities will have different reasons for signing up to the ITV show, Coleen has shared her reasons with fans.
The 38-year-old confirmed: "They've asked me for so many years now. I've always said no and put it off because the kids have been young and I've had quite a lot on. But this year, I thought, I quite fancy doing it. I would like to experience something different, do something for myself, meet new people. I'm looking forward to doing the trials."

Coleen, who is married to former Everton FC striker Wayne Rooney, also set the record straight on reports she would be exempt from the Bushtucker trials. She said: "There's been a lot of news saying I can't do trials because of certain illnesses, but I can confirm I can do every trial so I'm not excluded for any. That was just a load of rubbish."
The mum-of-four spoke about her children and how they have inspired her to take part in the show. She stated to her large social media following: "Don't get me wrong. I am really anxious about leaving the kids. That's my biggest thing, and 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."
Fans of the Liverpool-born TV personality rushed to the comments to send messages of support and good luck but some fans were left confused. One fan said: "She hasn’t mentioned Wayne!!!!".
Charley Webb, famed for playing Debbie Dingle on Emmerdale commented: "Yessssss" and Corrie star Claire Sweeney added "Good on you babes. You are gonna be brilliant xxx"
