EXCLUSIVE Real reason Coleen is going to the jungle: She doesn't need the money and has shunned the limelight...
but 'Wagatha' saga and arch-rival have given her a VERY intriguing motive, reveals KATIE HIND By Katie Hind Published: 02:11, 2 November 2024 | Updated: 02:41, 2 November 2024 e-mail View comments When Coleen Rooney became a mother, she quit her lucrative showbusiness career for a more traditional role as a housewife. At the time, back in 2010, she was queen WAG, having inherited the crown from Victoria Beckham . It was a profitable role, which landed her a £5million fortune courtesy of best-selling books, a perfume and her popular ITV2 reality show, Real Women – plus all the trimmings, holidays and designer outfits that go with having a husband earning £300,000 a week.
But along came little Kai, the eldest of her four boys, and everything changed. She decided to take herself out of the limelight. Coleen was determined to give her son as normal a life as possible.
She also wanted to support her husband, who would go on to test her patience and loyalty to the hilt numerous times over the course of their 16-year marriage. 'I'm staying at home to look after the boys,' she told me in 2010 when Kai, now 13, was just a few months old (the plural 'boys' being a somewhat prescient observation considering what was yet to come). Coleen Rooney has now decided to sign up to the most watched reality show on television - ITV's I'm A Celebrity.
