Following the news that his childhood sweetheart had impressed viewers at home again, Wayne took to Instagram, expressing his pride. Sharing a snap of the mum-of-four in camp, he wrote: “Yes Col.

Coleen, who met Man Utd star Wayne when they were still in school, has had a tough couple of years dealing with the Wagatha Christie trial. Despite winning the libel case against Rebekah Vardy, the WAG’s private life was dragged through the courts in one of the most high-profile cases in showbiz history.
After the upheaval, Coleen said she wanted to go into the jungle for herself and to be known, simply, as ‘Coleen from Liverpool’. Speaking to the Mirror, the WAG’s mum, Colette, said she’s “finally got her daughter back.”

Opening up about Coleen’s “zest for life”, after she was reunited with her daughter temporarily in the jungle, Colette said: “As I held her, one of the things she said to me was ‘mum, have I been boring?’” Colette says. “It broke my heart hearing that but I said, ‘no, you’ve been yourself and that’s all that matters.
“She is obviously thinking about what people are thinking, but she needn’t worry,” she says. “If she went in shouting and being loud, that wouldn’t be her. We’ve seen the true Coleen.”
In a rare interview, Colette said that her daughter’s jungle experience has been just what she needed after a tough two years dealing with her High Court battle.
But watching her daughter on screen, she firmly believes that the show has helped get her zest for life back. “Absolutely, the show’s helped it come back, and also her confidence, because she was really lacking in it,” Colette says.
Asked what it was like as a mum seeing her daughter struggle during Wagatha Christie, she admitted: “Horrendous, because at one time during the trial, we lost Coleen. Coleen wasn’t Coleen. She couldn’t be herself. We didn’t know before the trial what was going on because she didn’t tell us. We noticed a difference in her behaviour, in her attitude, she even distanced herself. So when it all came out, it was a relief for us, really, because then we knew what was going on. But now we’ve got her back fully.”
