ITV I'm a Celebrity star Coleen Rooney's brother says 'no surprise there' as he discusses appearance

The thought of being reunited with her boys could propel Coleen Rooney to victory in the Jungle, according to her brother, Joe. In an interview with the Mirror, Joe said she will have one eye on the finish line - and seeing Kit, eight, and Cass, six, again who have made the trip to Australia.

“It’s the longest she’s been away from her family, and I know she will be missing them like mad, but it’ll also push her on even more,” he said. “Knowing her two youngest lads, as well as mum and dad, will be waiting for her when she gets out will be keeping her going.”

As the show hots up with the public beginning to vote for the favourites, Joe hopes that Coleen can go deep into the final week. But he added: “We’re all so proud of her already, to be honest. Of course, we’d love for Coleen to win, but just seeing how she’s handling everything so far, that’s a massive achievement in itself. She’s doing so well.”

Cementing her place as the nation’s new sweetheart, Coleen has also opened up on her relationship with husband Wayne - including how he is a real romantic and writes her poetry. There have also been incredibly poignant moments such as her confiding in Oti Mabuse about having suffered two miscarriages, and talking about life in the spotlight.

Asked how Wayne was coping in her absence, Joe said: “He’s missing her, like all of us are but we have got a good support system.” Coleen has also lived up to her Wagatha Christie nickname in the camp by working out that the Jungle Junkyard was a secret luxury camp.

Joe adds: “No surprise there! She’s sharp, nothing gets past her. She’s always been like that.” She has also thrilled viewers with her stories, including meeting “orange” Donald Trump, as well as opening up about her court case with Rebekah Vardy.

Coleen told campmates: “What got me, over the whole thing, was it became a bit of a joke and that's really disappointing, it wasn't a joke for me. “No one knew the full story.”
