Coleen’s parents and her two youngest sons made a surprise appearance on the ITV show last week, staying in Australia for a fortnight. 

The WAG revealed she didn’t struggle at all settling into jungle life which she credits to the job she worked as a teenager before finding fame. 

When asked how she coped with having no luxuries in camp, Coleen said it reminded her of when she used to clean apartments at Pontins in her younger days.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, she said: ‘I have got luxuries in life but I’m no princess. 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.’

‘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 said.

‘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.

Elsewhere, GK Barry and Jane Moore were also seen heading home after their jungle stint in Australia as they were spotted making their way to the airport. 

The podcaster-turned-reality star, 25, and journalist, 62, were seen arriving at Brisbane Airport on Tuesday with their bags in tow.

GK – whose full name is Grace Eleanor Keeling – kept it casual for her journey back, sporting a pair of white towelling Nike drawstring shorts, with a black racerneck vest. 

She paired the sporty ensemble with white trainers and wore an array of gold jewellery, including an elegant bangle with a collection of rings, and carried a black tote bag.

GK was seen at the flight check-in desk with her footballer girlfriend Ella Rutherford, who sported a baggy t-shirt and basketball shorts. 

Meanwhile Jane opted for a grey hooded long jacket as she prepared to return to the colder UK temperatures. 

She finished off her look with a white open-necked shirt, high-waisted black paperbag trousers and scuffed trainers.

Even the Crocs official account commented as the internet star included a pair of the cosy slippers: ‘Couldn’t be more ready to take on the jungle!’ 

During her time in the jungle, Grace revealed the incredibly expensive purchase she made after achieving overnight fame following her social media success. 

The star soared to fame during the first Covid-19 lockdown when she started making TikToks about her daily life while studying film at Nottingham Trent University.

A successful podcast and guest stints on Loose Women have followed, and she’s also kept fans on their toes while documenting her love life. 

Chatting with her pal Reverend Richard Coles she confessed she impulsively bought a Porsche after thinking: ‘I could buy a Porsche and it would not be an issue.’ 

Richard asked the star: ‘So Grace did you go from working in Costa to all of a sudden being able to buy a house?’

As she replied: ‘Yeah,’ he continued: ‘So you didn’t go from poor, poor, poor, a little less poor, a bit more money, you went from poor to rich?’

Grace then explained: ‘Yeah, pretty quick. And I remember being like, “I’m making enough money to buy a new car now”.

‘I remember a Porsche drove past me as I had that thought and I remember thinking, “I could buy a Porsche and it would not be an issue.”

‘I went to the centre, I was looking at an old one that was cheaper, but the one that I wanted was next to it and it was so nice. 

‘I rang my accountant and I was like, “Can I do it?” And he was like, “Yeah”, so I bought it. I picked it up two days later.’
