Coleen Rooney reveals the workout routine that kept her in shape on I'm A Celebrity - and you can do it at home

Coleen Rooney has revealed the workout routine that kept her in top shape while in the I'm A Celebrity jungle. 

The WAG, 38, made it to the final of the ITV series and finished as runner-up to McFly's Danny Jones. 

Despite not having access to any workout equipment, the mother-of-four made sure to keep up with her fitness routine while she was in camp. 

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Coleen told how instead of her usual Reformer Pilates workouts, she settled for bodyweight squats in the jungle.

She said: 'At home every morning when I'm in the shower I do squats. I get up before the kids get up and I'll do a routine of squats and I know if I've got them done I can carry on.

'I would also do a few gym sessions and Reformer Pilates but in the Jungle, obviously, it was my squats.'  

During her time in camp, Coleen gave viewers a glimpse into her routine as she slipped away from her campmates to do some squats.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Coleen admitted: 'I wake up really early so I pretty much try and keep the routine that I do back home.'

She added: 'I try and sneak off to do them on my own. I usually do squats in the shower!'   

Given her luxury lifestyle, some wondered how she would cope with the seamier sides of jungle life but Coleen soon proved she had the right stuff.

'I have got luxuries in life but I'm no princess,' she said. 'I feel my campmates were surprised that I wasn't fazed by living outside. 

'I might not have camped that much but I used to clean the apartments at a Pontins holiday park when I was younger.'

She added: 'Going to the dunny [camp lavatory] doesn't bother me, I've gone behind a tree before. I don't mind getting my hands dirty, I've got four boys, we've been in situations where we've got dirty.

'We go to ponds and mud trails. None of that fazed me and if I had all of my lot there, I could have stayed there for weeks and weeks.'

Indeed, Coleen took on many of the chores to make up for not looking after her sons. 'It's just my daily life to pick up after people, to just get on with it,' she says.

'If I don't do it myself it mightn't get done. It was hard to step back from not doing other people's. There were times when people took longer to do their chores. I was desperate to go and do that but we got punished for it.'

The first thing she did after coming out of the jungle was to FaceTime her husband. 'Wayne just said how proud he was,' she said. 'Obviously, in the letter he sent to me in camp, he said he's never missed me as much as he does now.

'I can understand that because we've not spoken. We've been apart for weeks and weeks on end. [Normally] we speak a number of times a day, and we FaceTime. To not have that communication, it's been tough.'

Wayne remained in the UK to manage his football team, Plymouth Argyle, in Devon, while their two eldest sons Kai, 15, and Klay, 11, also stayed home.

'It was harder for them to come out [out of] school. They're older, it's more serious. We took the decision to keep them in school.

'But, they did say they weren't going to school tomorrow because their mum was in the final. I don't know what school's going to say about that. Obviously, they haven't come all the way to Australia so maybe they do deserve a day off.

'The little ones, it's easier. They've brought work away with them.'

Wayne also told his wife that he had held a viewing party for the final in her honour for their closest family and friends at their £20million Cheshire mansion.

Now Coleen is back with her mother, father and two younger sons as they prepare to return to the UK to reunite with the rest of the family ahead of Christmas.

The mother-of-four planned Christmas and did all her shopping before she left so she could return safe in the knowledge that everything was ready.

In terms of the future, she says she wants to 'enjoy Christmas, which I'm really looking forward to, and then we start again in the new year when, in January, I will sit down with my team and see what I am going to do going forward'.

Given her spectacular success on I'm A Celebrity, ITV will be desperately hoping that it is part of her future plans.
