Coleen Rooney has revealed how her youngest child blew her I’m A Celeb cover after blabbing in the playground while on This Morning – leaving fans in sтιтches.
The 38-year-old, who headed down under for the ITV show last year, appeared on the morning programme to chat about her exciting new projects with Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard.
In December, Coleen was crowned runner-up of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, after McFly’s Danny Jones became King Of The Jungle.
Before celebrities head off to Australia, the stars have to keep heir upcoming stint on the show a secret, but one of her sons blew her cover.
Speaking to Cat and Ben, Coleen said: ‘Obviously people started asking me the question and I just raised my eyebrows.
‘You know, I can’t say anything.

‘But the boys, I told the older ones, and they were fine with it, but the younger ones overheard, we’ve watched it as a family for years and the younger ones dip in and out because it’s late at night but then they were excited once they knew I was actually going in.
‘But my 11-year-old came home from school and said: “Everyone is asking me if you’re going in the jungle.”
‘I said: “What did you say?” thinking that he had to be quiet.
‘He said: “I just said yeah she is”, and I was like “oh ITV won’t like that!”‘
The story left hosts Ben and Cat in hysterics.
The WAG and husband Wayne Rooney are proud parents to Kai, 15, Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and Cᴀss, six.
Viewers watching at home took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to say some lovely words about the mum-of-four’s appearance on the sofa.

One pointed out: ‘Colleen needs her own TV show again!!’
Another asked: ‘Can Coleen replace cat, thanks.’
A third said: ‘Isn’t she just lovely.’
While a third pointed out: ‘Coleen seems like a really nice, down to Earth person.’
Coleen then revealed why she thought it was the right time to take part in the show, and how she really struggled not talking to her boys and husband.
She recalled: ‘I had no contact with the kids or Wayne or anyone. It was a month, it’s real. People don’t realise how real it is.
‘When I got into camp, I was thinking “Someone will come in now and help us…”‘
She also described the organisation of making sure her sons were looked after as a ‘major operation’.
Coleen added: ‘It was a major operation. It took months and months of planning and organising.
‘It took my mind off going there. What hit hard, I never stopped and thought about it, I was too busy organising.
‘I’ve got great support, everyone helped.’
