Coleen Rooney reveals son's heartbreaking comment to Wayne as she shares downside to fame
I'm A Celebrity favourite Coleen Rooney opened up about how her children have dealt with the fame from their famous dad, Wayne Rooney
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! favourite Coleen Rooney shared the negative impact fame has had on her and Wayne's children.
The campmates, including Maura Higgins, Reverend Richard Coles and Alan Halsall, all discussed how fame impacted them. Danny Jones said it had a satisfying impact as he "got to make a difference in people's lives". Alan also said he's had to sustain his fame for nearly 27 years due to his role on Coronation Street.
"That’s constant. I think the only time I’ve found it difficult really recently is when I’ve become a father, it’s hard then," he said. Coleen agreed and the 38-year-old WAG revealed her son Kai has asked footballer Wayne to stop attending his football games as people 'swarmed' the Manchester United star.

She said: "That’s the thing with kids I think, it’s hard to go on days out. Kai told Wayne to stop coming to football games, when he played grassroots tournaments and stuff because he used to get swarmed and he couldn’t even watch the game. How do you say to all of these kids, ‘Go away, I'm watching my son?’
"Adults, it's different you could speak to them, so he [Kai] just said, ‘Oh, Dad there’s no point you coming because you don’t even watch me play anyway,’ which is sad but it can’t be helped anyway. At the same time, the fans help you along the way and get you where you are."
