Coleen Rooney has lifted the lid on her involvement in I'm A Celebrity, while addressing potential trial exemption rumours.
Best known for being married to Wayne Rooney and her involvement in the infamous 'Wagatha Christie' case, the mother-of-four has taken to Instagram to speak to her one million followers about her involvement in the reality TV show for the first time.
Confirming her involvement as one of the contestants in the jungle this year, alongside the likes of GK Barry, Maura Higgins and more, she also addressed rumours about her health.
The 38-year-old posted the video on her account last night (11 November), despite some contestants already touching down in Australia.

She spoke about how she had 'prepared' to leave her kids, announcing for the first time: "I can confirm, I am going in the jungle", further adding, "do you know what, they've asked me for so many years now and I've just always said 'no' or put it off."
In the video, Coleen revealed two whiteboards behind her that were covered in writing, outlining the children's timetables and information for those taking care of them in her absence.
But as she is said to become the highest ever I'm a Celeb earner, Coleen will finally be appearing on the ITV programme, explaining that the young ages of her four sons meant that she turned the show down in the past.

However, she also addressed reports that recently suggested that her reactive arthritis, which was said to be a consequence of her legal battle with Rebekah Vardy, would stop her from taking part in some trials on I'm a Celebrity.
Coleen explained: "I'm looking forward to doing the trials. There's been a lot of news saying that I can't do trials because of certain illnesses and that, but I can confirm I can do every trial.
"So I am not excluded from any - that was just a load of rubbish, and I am, yeah, I'm looking forward to it," she admitted.
Alongside the announcement, Coleen revealed that she also left some soft toys and letters for her children so they would 'know that I am constantly thinking of them.'

"Don't get me wrong. I am really anxious about leaving the kids. That's my biggest thing, and [sic] for weeks and months that's been on my mind, but I've come to terms with it," Coleen further explained.
She also said: "I've planned, I've prepped. I've got an army of people, family, friends, school friends all helping out with the kids, so they are going to be fine, and they are probably going to have a great time when I'm away."
