I'm A Celebrity's Coleen Rooney opened up about her family life as she detailed the reasoning behind her four boys' unique names and she also shared her heartbreak after suffering two miscarriages.

As Coleen’s middle name was Mary, this then meant Cass would have the same initials as her, CMR. She also shared that Cass Mac Rooney meant “clever son of Rooney, that’s the meaning.

That’s the only connection I’ve got to the kids!” Speaking about having four boys, Coleen admitted: “I would’ve liked a girl for Wayne, I wasn’t desperate, he would’ve liked a girl, I wasn’t bothered either way.” She went on to explain the heartache they went through when two pregnancies ended in miscarriage and she feels those babies were girls.
She said: “I’ve had two miscarriages and I don’t know whether that has been girls, you know sometimes they say you can’t carry a certain sex, but they don’t investigate .
