Coleen Rooney discussed her two heartbreaking miscarriages and the meaning behind her children’s names during I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! on Friday.
In camp, Oti Mabue and GK Barry sat down with Coleen, 38, to talk about the origins of her kids’ names: Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass.
Explaining the reason behind not having all of the names begin with a letter K, she revealed: ‘I looked up the meaning of the name Cassius and with a K it meant blackbird, and with a C it meant clever.’
Deciding on Cassius, they then chose Mac for his middle name given her maiden name was McLoughlin, and her friends used to nickname her Coleen Mac.
As Coleen’s middle name was Mary, this then meant Cass would have the same initials as her, CMR.
She also shared that Cass Mac Rooney meant ‘clever son of Rooney, that’s the meaning. CMR. That’s the only connection I’ve got to the kids!’

Speaking about having four boys, Coleen admitted: ‘I would’ve liked a girl for Wayne, I wasn’t desperate, he would’ve liked a girl, I wasn’t bothered either way.’
She went on to explain: ‘I’ve had two miscarriages and I don’t know whether that has been girls, you know sometimes they say you can’t carry a certain sex, but they don’t investigate until you have your third one.’
Coleen told Oti and GK how she had her first miscarriage before she had any children, with the second miscarriage coming before she had Kit and Cass.
She admitted: ‘When I had the first one I was really scared…but then once I had a child, it took that away, I went on to have another one.
‘It’s not a nice feeling for anyone, it’s horrible but knowing that I could conceive and have the child, that made me feel better.’
Speaking of Wayne, she said: ‘I feel for the men in this situation…Wayne really felt it the first time round and it wasn’t until later on that I thought, ”Do you know what, everyone’s fussing around me, but not him and he had to just get up and go to work as normal”, it’s quite hard.’
Oti agreed: ‘It’s such a precious time but a scary time as well.’
