Wayne's a no-show! Plymouth Argyle manager misses out on festive trip to Lapland with wife Coleen Rooney and two youngest sons Kit, eight, and Cass, six, after their fleeting reunion

Wayne Rooney missed out on a festive trip to Lapland with his wife Coleen and their two youngest sons.  

The WAG, 36, treated Kit, eight, and Cass, six, to a day out in Berkshire, after they flew out to Australia to support her during her I'm A Celebrity stint. 

But husband Wayne, 39, missed out on the trip after their reunion in Manchester, as he fights to keep his job as Plymouth Argyle's manager.   

Overjoyed to be reunited with her boys once again, Coleen shared a photo of the moment they met Father Christmas alongside her cousin Claire, her friend and their children on Instagram on Friday. 

Coleen captioned the post: 'The most magical day at @laplanduk. Thank you for having us, we loved it. So excited for Lapland UK Manchester next year'. 

Lapland UK, in Ascot, Berkshire, is the biggest festive attraction of its kind in Europe and has drawn famous faces including the Beckhams and the Prince and Princess of Wales. 

Britain's most exclusive festive grotto has the price tag to match, with more than 100,000 people queuing virtually in March to grab tickets costing up to £190 each. 

 As Coleen spent the week settling into life back home, Wayne was hundreds of miles away 'fighting to keep his job' as head coach of Plymouth Argyle where he is thought to earn £500,000-per-year.

While rumours swirl that Wayne's job is hanging in the balance, he gave no thought to a potential sacking by Plymouth and insists he is focusing on improving the squad in January.

The team have fallen to second-bottom in the table after a run of only one win in 10 matches. 

The woeful return has heaped pressure on the former Manchester United and England star, who took over the reins at Home Park in the summer.

The couple enjoyed a festive date night on Monday after finally being reunited following her stint on I'm A Celeb.

The couple enjoyed some time without their four sons shopping for festive gifts as Coleen tagged the selfie, taken by Wayne, at Manchester Christmas Markets.

Wayne finally returned home to Cheshire on Monday, five days after his wife landed in the UK after a month away in Australia appearing on I'm A Celebrity.

The football manager was not at Manchester airport to meet his wife as she landed with their two youngest sons Kit and Cass on December 11.

The I'm A Celebrity star broke her silence after jetting back home following her incredible success story on the gruelling ITV reality show.

Coleen, who finished in second place, addressed her fans in the clip and thanked viewers for all of their votes and support which led her to the final.

The TV sensation admitted she needs to 'get used' to posting videos on her page, as she hinted she will be online more in the future.

She said: 'The kids are in school and I just wanted to come on and say wow wow wow, I am so overwhelmed with the love, support, generosity and positivity that you've all shown while I was in the jungle and since I've come out.

'I can't thank you enough for your messages, your comments and I am just so glad that you all enjoyed the show this year. Thank you to every single one of you that voted for me and kept me in until the end, because I got the full jungle experience. I can't thank you enough for that. I absolutely loved it.

'Don't get me wrong, it was hard. It was really hard. But with your love and support and the love and support of my 11 campmates love and support and friendship, you all got me through it and I am so grateful for that.'
