by · Manchester Evening News

Coleen Rooney was all smiles as she was seen reuniting with her husband Wayne a week after her return to the UK after I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.

The WAG and TV personality returned to the UK from Down Under last week after finishing in second place in the I TV reality show's 2024 series, having just missed out on being crowned winner to Danny Jones.

She didn't have long to relax, however, as once back in Cheshire, she posted a photo of herself alongside sons Kit, Klay and Cass on her Instagram Story with her 1.3m followers as they sat in the car and captioned the post: "Back to the school run."

And while Coleen, 38, has been back in the UK for almost a week, her football manager husband was still in Plymouth managing his team, Plymouth Argyle.

However, Wayne, 39, is now having a break from managerial duties and has returned to their Cheshire home to spend some time with his wife after her month-long stint in Australia

After being reunited with her gal pals, during which she posted a picture of her and her friends to her Instagram Story and said: "Back with my girls [pink heart emoji]," Coleen shared a smiling snap of herself and Wayne.

The pair had headed for a night at Manchester's Christmas markets and posed for a selfie among the festive lights in the city. The pair looked delighted as they huddled up for the smiling photo, which Coleen didn't caption, opting to tag the location of their couple snap.

It comes after Coleen took to social media with a video in which she thanked her fans and followers for her love and support as she revealed when she'll be seeing her fellow campmates again. In the video posted to her Instagram and X pages, Coleen could be seen sitting at her plush home as she spoke to directly to the camera and said: "Hi everyone, hope you're all ok! I'm back in the UK, a bit jet-lagged, the kids are in school and I just wanted to come on here and say wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!

"I'm so overwhelmed with the love, support, generosity, positivity that you've all shown whilst I was in the jungle and since I've come out. I can't thank yous enough for the messages, your comments and i'm jsut so glad that you all enjoyed the showed this year. Thank you to every single one of you who voted for me, you kept me in until the end so I got the full jungle experience and I can't thank you enough for that. I absolutely loved it."

Coleen went on to say "what a year" it was to be involved in I'm A Celeb as she hailed her campmates as "friends for life" and that the group messaging chats they have created "have not stopped". She added: "It was a joy to be part of and we are all going to enjoy Christmas, I hope you all enjoy Christmas, then in the new year we're going to get together, have a reunion and do a few things together.

"The comments have been fantastic and do you know what I've loved? That a few of you have sat down together as a family and it brought laughter into your household, it brought love, it brought tears and you all went through it together and we all went through it together as a camp."

She went on to say she "just had" to talk to those who had supported her and that she'll "have to get used" to making social media videos. "I just love you all and I can't thank you enough. Happy Christmas and I'll be back on here really soon," she added. Alongside the post, Coleen also wrote: "Thank you all soooooo much for the love and support, so overwhelmed and genuinely can’t believe it. Thank you to @ITV and the amazing @imacelebrity production team, and finally a special special thank you to my unreal campmates who have become friends for life xxx."
