Coleen Rooney's youngest children Kit, 7, and Cass, 6, visit kangaroos as they enjoy a trip to the zoo in Australia ahead of the first I'm A Celebrity vote-off

REVEREND RICHARD COLES

Coleen Rooney’s youngest children were all smiles as they posed for adorable Instagram snaps while visiting a number of kangaroos after landing in Australia earlier this week.

Kit, seven, and Cᴀss, six, who Coleen shares with husband Wayne Rooney, were seen crouching down next to the animals as they relaxed in the sun at a zoo.

Cᴀss couldn’t contain his smile as he introduced his teddy kangaroo, which Coleen gifted each of her four boys before jetting off for the ITV show, to the real animal.

The caption read: ‘The boys have arrived and went straight on the hunt for a kangaroo. Cᴀss hasn’t let go of his Teddy. Don’t come out yet mum we’ve got more kangaroos to find!!’

The sweet snaps come ahead of Coleen and the rest of the I’m A Celebrity campmates facing the first vote-off during tonight’s episode.

Her two boys and her parents Colette and Anthony landed at Brisbane Airport two days ago while her older sons Kai, 15, and Klay, 12, chose to remain in the UK with their father Wayne, 39, who is also staying home thanks to his job as a manager at Plymouth Argyle.

Her mum told MailOnline: ‘She’s amazing. She’s doing really well. We’re so proud. The kids have been really good, to tell you the truth.

‘If they hadn’t been able to see her, it would’ve been different. One of them’s been really quiet and subdued but not much longer now.’

When Coleen arrived at the same airport just two weeks earlier, she told of how she had ‘shed a few tears’ after dropping her four sons at school before leaving for her stint in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.

Laughing, Colette revealed she was ‘glad to see the back of the whiteboard’, which her daughter left behind before her departure which had a strict schedule for the grandmother to follow when it came to caring for her boys.

When asked if Coleen would have been angry if Colette hadn’t adhered to the instructions, the mother-of-three raised her eyebrows and said: ‘Oh, I followed the whiteboard all right.’

In an Instagram video the night before she left, Coleen explained the extreme lengths she had gone to make sure her sons were ok while she was away in the Australian Jungle for three weeks.

Revealing two huge whiteboards in her dining room, Coleen said she had covered them with her children’s schedules ‘on both sides’.

The snaps come after Coleen took a playful swipe at her husband Wayne as she discussed his football managing career on Wednesday.

During a chat with her fellow campmates, Coleen admitted she feels ‘more pressure’ since Wayne switched from playing to managing.

Danny Jones took the chance to quiz Coleen on Wayne. Referencing his new role managing Plymouth Argyle football club, Danny asked: ‘Is he loving managing?’

Coleen responded: ‘Yeah, he does enjoy it, it’s hard though. I find it more nerve wracking him being a manager than I did… I feel more pressure.’

Barry Guigan said of Wayne: ‘Well, he was very mature very quickly wasn’t he, he grew up very quickly?’

To which Coleen replied: ‘Well, I don’t know about that!’ as the camp laughed in response.
