Now that Coleen Rooney is finally confirmed to be appearing on the upcoming series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! - she has shared a clip to Instagram detailing why she decided to take the plunge Down Under, and debunking any rumours she will be sitting out of Bushtucker trials.

The WAG, who was seen flying out to Australia on Monday, began the clip by sharing: "They've asked me for so many years now and I have just always said no or put it off because kids have been young and I have had a lot on but this year I just thought you know what I quite fancy doing it. I would like to experience it something different, do something for myself and meet new people."

Rumours recently circulated that Coleen wouldn't be taking part in the show's infamous Bushtucker Trials due to suffering from reactive arthritis - which causes swelling and pain all over the body, especially in the feet, hips, ankles and knees. However, clearing things up, the mum-of-four assured that she would be taking trials head on.

"I have been looking forward to doing the trials. There has been a lot of news saying that I can't do trials because of certain illnesses but I can confirm I can do every trial, that was just a load of rubbish," laughed Coleen.

While she is clearly raring to go for the new adventure, Coleen is worried about leaving her four sons; Kai, 15, Klay, 13, Kit, eight, and six-year-old Cass.

"Don't get me wrong I am really anxious about leaving the kids, that is my biggest thing and for weeks and months that has been on my mind," said Coleen, as she added: "But I've come to terms with it, I've planned and prepped and have an army of friends, family, school friends...."

Coleen then flipped the camera to show four teddy bears with cards for each of her kids, sharing she left them each a bear so they know she is always thinking of them.

"Do you know what I'm looking forward to? Just having time to myself to think and reflect over things, which I never get to do that much because I am always in mum mode," said Coleen.

She concluded: "It's going to give me time to reflect and think of all the things that I am grateful for. So, I hope you enjoy the show. I hope I bring something to the table and I will see you when I get out."
