I had a little cry and thought, don't know if I can do this...

Star wept because of missing Wayne and kids | Feared she was 'just me' among performers

WITH her quiet confidence and stoic resilience, she appeared on the face of it to practically breeze through to the I'm a Celebrity final.

But Coleen Rooney has revealed for the first time that she questioned her place on the show after just one week - because she missed her family.

Speaking to the Mirror after narrowly losing out to Danny Jones, Coleen recalls sobbing when she was reminded of Wayne and her sons, whose faces were emblazoned on her pillow.

"I had a little cry and I thought I don't know whether I can go all this way," she says. "I went off and did the washing up and collected the wood and did whatever I had to do. I just got on with it."

The first few days were tough for Coleen, who worried she wasn't a big enough personality like some of the other campmates, and too quiet.

"In the first week, I just thought I can't see me going all the way because I was just me," she says.

"We had loads of personalities in there who were great and I got on with, but they were performers. I was just sat there thinking 'what do I bring? "It wasn't uncomfortable. They made it comfortable. It was just me sitting back and looking at that camp and thinking I was quieter than everyone.

"But obviously people enjoyed it and wanted me to stay in there longer and see a bit more of me.

"I don't know why but they did."
