A source said seeing Kit, eight, and Cass, six, will turn her “into a ­blubbering mess”.

Friends and relatives of stars were sneaked into camp in last year’s show for the first time since 2018 — but insiders say Coleen would be expecting to see only her mum.

A source said: “Everyone knows how much Coleen loves her boys, and it would be one of the most heart-warming moments of the series.

“It’s a really special part of the show, and there’s no doubt Coleen would be a blubbering mess — as would the millions of viewers watching at home. It’s going to be such a surprise for her.”

Coleen, wife of former Manchester United and England ace Wayne, is wearing a necklace with their four sons’ names and touches it on screen to let them know she is thinking of them.

She revealed before entering the camp that Kai, 15, and Klay, 11, decided to stay at home while Kit and Cass were travelling with her mum to meet her when she leaves.

It is believed that ITV bosses and Ant and Dec realised it was a “too good an opportunity” to miss. Wayne, 39, cannot be there due to his commitments as manager of Championship team Plymouth Argyle.

The friends and family segment usually happens in the third week, when there are five or six celebs remaining.

By that time Coleen, 38, will have been away for nearly three weeks, having flown out a week before the show started on November 17.

She left the boys a box of jungle-themed props to wear at home in Cheshire while she is on TV.

A source said: “The boys have some jungle-style hats, and khaki items of clothing and bandanas.

“They’re really enjoying seeing her each night, especially as it means the younger ones get to stay up a bit later than usual.”

Before the first episode aired last Sunday, Coleen’s Instagram page shared messages of support from her kids.

Video showed Kai saying: “Hi Mum. I just want to say good luck.”

Cass said: “Good luck, mum. Do your best.” Kit added: “Good luck in the jungle, Mum. Hope you win lots of stars. I love you.”

I can’t wait to watch you on the telly later.

Klay Rooney

And Klay declared: “I can’t wait to watch you on the telly later. Good luck. I love you.”

The Sun on Sunday revealed Coleen signed for the show in a deal reputed to be worth more than £1.5million.

Last night Wayne urged fans to vote for Coleen to do Bushtucker trials. He posted online: “Proud of @coleen_rooney on @imacelebrity she’s doing great.

“Me and the boys would love to see her doing a trial and we know she’d want to put herself to the test. If you can download the #ImACeleb app and let’s get voting.”
