As the finale of I'm A Celebrity aired, fans were on the edge of their seats, eagerly waiting to find out who would be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle. In the end, it was McFly singer Danny Jones who took home the title, while Coleen Rooney, wife of footballer Wayne Rooney, came in second place.
Before the final result was announced, Coleen took a moment to reflect on her journey in the jungle. She expressed how proud she was of herself, stating that it's rare for her to feel that way. She also mentioned her roles as a mother, wife, and daughter, and how those titles mean the world to her.
Just a few days before the finale, Coleen had one of the most emotional moments of the series when she was reunited with her two youngest sons, Kit and Cass. While her husband and two eldest sons had to stay back in England, her two younger boys surprised her in the jungle for a heartwarming reunion. Danny's son Cooper, who is also six, also made an appearance to surprise his dad.
However, a debate on the Jeremy Vine show has sparked outrage among fans. The discussion seemed to focus only on Coleen's children missing school for their time in Australia, rather than acknowledging Danny's son also being out of school. This sparked backlash from viewers, who questioned why Coleen was being singled out.
The show's social media page asked viewers to share their thoughts on whether it was right for Coleen to take her children out of school for the show. This prompted fans to call out the double standards and question if a male contestant would receive the same criticism.
One caller even rang into the show to point out the apparent double standards, stating that Danny's son was also out of school and there was no criticism towards him. They believed that the criticism towards Coleen was unfair and simply because she is a high-profile figure.
Many viewers rushed to defend Coleen, with some even praising her for being a great mom. One fan pointed out that it's a one-off occasion and the kids should be able to enjoy this moment with their mom. Another caller suggested that the focus should be on children who genuinely need watching over, rather than criticizing a mother who is making memories with her children.
Channel 5 has been approached for comment on the situation. In the meantime, fans can catch the Jeremy Vine show on weekdays at 9.15am.
