Coleen Rooney back on the school run after coming under fire for taking kids out of school for I'm A Celeb trip to Australia
I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! star Coleen Rooney is back on home turf and spending time with her family. On her social media story, Coleen posted a sweet picture back with her sons. The family were seen in the car with Coleen taking a selfie along with the words ‘Back to the school run!!’ along with a love heart emoji.
The star took the snap with her three youngest sons, Klay, Kit and Cass the morning after her return to Manchester after her month-long stint in Australia. Coleen looked effortlessly stylish in a burgundy roll neck jumper and wearing gold earrings. The song Rather Be by Clean Bandit, played in the background with the poignant lyrics 'when I am with you there's no place I'd rather be' playing.
Coleen wasn’t the only one who faced a long journey home last week, her two youngest sons, Kit and Cass also made the journey from Brisbane to Manchester after meeting their mum during her last week on I’m A Celeb. But having her two sons there landed the former WAG in hot water with certain people as she was slammed for taking her kids out of school.

A few days ago, experts said that the I'm A Celeb star had been 'setting a bad example' for other parents by taking the boys out of the classroom for a trip to Australia. Coleen's I'm A Celeb co-star Danny Jones was also reunited with his son, Cooper, six, who flew to Australia last week and is also taking time out. "Have you been telling everyone at school to vote for me," Danny asked Cooper when they saw one another.
Following the sweet scenes, shadow education minister Neil O'Brien has fumed: "Famous people setting a bad example is the absolute last thing we need right now. If people see them taking their children out of school, then that makes matters worse. If a whole bunch of children take a couple of weeks off school, it makes life difficult for the teacher to help those kids catch up".
Neil's fury comes as Ofsted has warned that school absence rates are too high, with the government recently implementing fines in an attempt to increase attendance.
While Coleen’s youngest children were taken out of school for the experience, her elder sons, Kai, 15 and Klay, 11, remained in school and stayed in Manchester along with their dad, Wayne Rooney.
