The camp was left in floods of tears last night after they managed to win their letters from home
I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Coleen Rooney was left in tears after hearing a message from one of her sons and her husband Wayne Rooney.
Over the last two weeks, the celebrities have been out of contact with their family as they navigate their way through jungle life in a bid to be crowned the King or Queen of the Jungle.
As they waited for their food to be delivered, Oti Mabuse walked into the camp and revealed they would all be taking part in a challenge to win their letters from home.
She explained: “Celebrities, today you have the chance to win your letter from home. Each letter is locked inside the lock with your name on it.
“If you can guess the secret password your locker will pop open and you will win your letter from home. Your password has been chosen by your loved ones at home.
“They have chosen a word that they think is significant to you. In order to win, you will need help from one of your fellow campmates.

“The chosen campmates will appear on the screen in front of you and can only use their lips to mouth the password. If you can guess your memorable password, you will win your letter from home.”
Working together, all 11 campmates were able to win their letter from home which resulted in tears being shared around the campfire.
One person who was touched by the letters was Rooney, whose letter had been read out by the now-evicted Dean McCullough.
The letter read: “Hi mum, just wanted to say how proud I am of you. You are the strongest person I know.

“One thing I am not missing is you shouting at me to get up in the morning, we might need to work on that.
“I am not going to lie, I am missing you loads but I want you to stay and go all the way, so proud to call you my mum. Oh and guess what, I am in Australia and waiting for a massive hug.”
However, it was soon revealed it wasn't just her sons who'd penned a touching tribute to Rooney, as McCullough continued: “Coleen, I have never missed you so much in my life.
"But you are doing amazing and showing everyone your character and what a wonderful and humble woman you are. I am so proud of you and can’t wait to see you. I love you 10, Wayne.”
In tears, Rooney thanked McCullough for reading the letter and later told the Bush Telegraph: “Thank you. Thank you. Tonight was... Oh, it just warmed my heart.”
Rooney wasn’t the only one who was affected by the letter from her children, as Alan Halsall broke down in tears when hearing from his daughter, Sienna.

His letter read: “To Daddy, I love you and I miss you so much. I'm really excited to see you and give you the biggest cuddle in the world.
"I've been wearing my lovely necklace every day. When you come back, please can we do the Christmas tree together?
“Are you in the Christmas spirit yet? Because I am but I just need you to be with me.
"I am really missing you tickling me under the chin but most of all, I am missing you. Your daughter, Sienna, kiss, kiss, kiss and there's a heart sign."
Both Rooney and Halsall will take part in Monday night's trial, The Farmyard of Fear.
