ITV I'm A Celeb's Coleen Rooney 'bursts with pride' over son Kai as he celebrates milestone

Coleen Rooney has marked a major milestone in her eldest child's life, just before she embarks on a journey to Australia to participate in the reality TV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The 38 year old wife of football legend Wayne Rooney is a devoted mother to their four sons, Kai, Klay, Kit, and Cass. Over the weekend, Kai celebrated his 15th birthday, prompting Coleen to share a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, accompanied by a series of photos.

She wrote: "Happy 15th birthday @kairooney.10 ... I love you so much and you make me burst with pride," adding a blue heart emoji. The post included a photo of Coleen embracing Kai on a beach, both beaming with joy, as well as a picture of her sitting beside her sleeping son on a plane.

A black and white photo of the pair was also shared, followed by a family portrait featuring Wayne and their younger sons, Klay, 10, Kit, seven, and five year old Cass. Additional images showcased Coleen and Kai's adventures together.

Fans and admirers responded with birthday wishes for Kai, echoing Coleen's sentiments, reports the Mirror.

However, Coleen's time with her children will be limited before she departs for Australia to join the 2024 season of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

According to reports, she has been offered the highest payment of any star to participate in the show. Nigel Farage, the politician who participated in the 2023 season, was previously reported to have received the highest payment - a rumoured £1.5 million.

However, it's speculated that Coleen's participation fee will surpass this, sparking anticipation among fans that she might reveal details about her explosive court case against Rebekah Vardy during her jungle stint.

Rumours are swirling that Love Island's Maura Higgins, N Dubz's Tulisa Contostavlos, McFly's Danny Jones, and Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse will also be joining the 24th season of ITV's enduring reality show. Show hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have teased an unforgettable final line-up for the 2024 season.

In a social media post, they exclaimed: "If we had to describe this year's lineup in 10 words? Good. Very good. Really good. Brilliant. Yes. Yes. Yes. YES. #ImACeleb."

A show insider previously told The Sun: "As always, the jungle bosses have cleverly put together a sensational line-up guaranteed to make for compulsive viewing."

The return of ITV's jungle-based show is just a fortnight away, with the launch show set to air on Sunday 17 November. It's expected that a total of 12 celebrities will participate in the show, facing Bushtucker Trials in their quest to be crowned king or queen of the jungle.
