Outraged I’m A Celeb viewers hit out after hearing question about Coleen Rooney
The mum-of-four was announced as the runner-up in Sunday's final
Outraged I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! viewers have shared their outrage after hearing a particular question about Coleen Rooney.
Now, as ITV viewers will know, Danny Jones was crowned King of the Jungle, while Coleen was named the runner-up of the season before reuniting with her family.
While footballer Wayne and their two eldest sons, Kai, 15, and Klay, 11, remained in the UK, two of their youngest sons, Kit, eight, and Cass, six, ran in to meet their mum in an extremely touching reunion.

However, while many found the joyous nothing but heartwarming, it's clear not everyone shared the same sentiments.
Taking to X yesterday (9 December), the official Jeremy Vine & Storm Huntley on 5 account put out a question to its 159.2k followers, questioning the mum-of-four meeting her two young children in a heartfelt reunion after spending weeks apart.
The account asked: "Was Coleen Rooney right to pull her children from school to visit her on I'm a Celeb?
"She faced criticism from MPs ahead of last night's final after her six and eight-year-old sons reportedly spent two weeks in Australia.
"Is this an adventure worth missing class for?"
The tweet, which has since racked up nearly half a million views since posted, sparked backlash from fans with many pointing out the fact that the same question wasn't posed to the season winner, Danny, who also reunited with his son, Cooper, on the show.
One X user hit out: "Danny did the same?"
"Did the same MPs criticise Danny Jones and his wife for taking their son out of school too? Or is it just female contestants who are in the firing line?" penned a second.
A third echoed: "And Danny Jones's son, or is it just Coleen Rooney you’re discussing?!!!"
"Would you ask the same question of a man?" another asked, while a fifth quipped: "The winner also had his son there, but the focus is on Coleen only."
"Obviously not, as Danny Jones' son was also taken out of school! Double standards," a sixth replied.
"Someone would have called her selfish or slated her in another way if she didn’t. Can’t win. Always someone wanting to drag others down. It’s an unreal experience for the kids so yes, I’d have done the same," defended a seventh.
Another explained: "Travelling and experiencing other cultures can be of great benefit to children so yes I do agree that it's ok."
"It’s a one off ffs let her kids enjoy this moment with their mum," added a final X user.
