She did not mention her husband Wayne, who lives away from the family home as the manager of Championship side Plymouth Argyle.

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

Speaking to the camera, Coleen said: ‘I am really anxious about leaving the kids, that’s my biggest thing, for weeks and months that’s been on my mind.

‘But I’ve come to terms with it and I’ve planned and prepped, I’ve got an army of people – family and friends – school friends all helping out with the kids. They are going to be fine, they’ll probaby have a great time.

‘I’ve prepped as you can see, behind me, that is literally front and back four weeks of timetables, football runs, parties and everything.’

Revealing the sweet token she left at home for them, she said: ‘Before I wrote them all a little card each when they get home from school tomorrow and a little teddy each so they know I am constantly thinking of them.’

Elsewhere in the clip, Coleen said: ‘Hi everyone, this seems so weird because I never come on here and do videos like this. But I just wanted to come on and say something, I am in my pyjamas – the kids are in bed and their bags and uniforms are ready, I am taking them to school tomorrow and then I am heading to the airport.

‘A lot of you might have heard and there has been a lot of speculation, but I can confirm I am going into the jungle.

‘They’ve asked me for so many years but I’ve always said no because the kids are so young, but this year I thought you know what, I quite fancy it.

‘I want to experience something different, do something for myself and meet new people. I’m really looking forward to doing the trials and there’s been a lot of news saying I am exempt because of various illnesses.

‘But I can confirm I can do every trial, so I am not excluded from any, and I am looking forward to it.

‘While I’m away, friends are taking over my social media so hopefully they keep you updated. I am looking forward to it, it’s going to be a mᴀssive change, sleeping outside and not having items with me.

‘But I’m looking forward to having some time to think about things and reflect, which I never have time to do that much because I’m always in mum mode. Constantly thinking and planning.

‘We’ve done letters to Father Christmas today so they’ll get posted on the way to school tomorrow which was another thing I wanted to do before I go.

‘I’m constantly thinking, so in there it’s going to be hard having no contact but it’ll give me time to reflect and think about what I’m grateful for, especially these.

‘So I hope you enjoy the show, I hope I bring something to the table and I will see you when I get out!’

She did not mention her husband Wayne, who lives away from the family home as the manager of Championship side Plymouth Argyle

‘I’ve just thought, i haven’t even said what a fan I am of the show, and we are as a family – we love it every year. When it comes on, we laugh, cringe, shiver. So yeah I think the family when I’m on they are going to be hooked.

‘I know a few past friends who have been on they’ve said what a great time they’ve had so I hope I come out saying the same! See ya later.’

In the comments section, Coleen received the full support of her celebrity pals.

Paris Fury, said: ‘Can only imagine how anxious you’re feeling but the kids will be fine and good on you! Good luck babe xxx’.

However, there are two names noticeably absent from the confirmed lineup, hinting that they are going to be late additions to the camp.

Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles are also set to take part in the show, and are expected to be heading into the camp later in the series.

Leading the confirmed pack was Coleen, who has ditched her WAG glamour for the famous jungle get-up as this year’s highest-paid signing.

Coleen has revealed how she has been asked multiple times to be on the show and has finally said yes this year because her children are old enough.

Ahead of her appearance, she said: ‘Over the years there have been different things going on in my life and also my children have been really young.’

Coleen also spoke about her ‘supportive’ husband Wayne’s feelings about her entering the show, insisting he is ‘fine’ with her spending time away.

She said: ‘Wayne is supportive, he’s fine with it all. If he had the time, he’d have a go.’

Revealing he might be glad of a break from her bad habit, she joked: ‘Wayne says I snore, not continuously though.’

Confirmation of Coleen’s jungle appearance comes just as she opened up about her marriage struggles on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast on Monday: ‘Wayne and I are a team. We’ve helped each other through life.

We are good at seeing the best outcome, rather than the worst. Hopefully it’s going to like that for the rest and it’s going to be a nice, smooth-sailing marriage. I don’t know if you can get one of them.’
