He added: “I think it's the longest, you know, I've been without speaking to her since we were kids.

“And for the children, obviously it's difficult not being able to speak to the mum.

"But Coleen’s parents are helping out obviously, while I’m over in Plymouth living there at the minute with my work.

"There's a good team looking after the kids and making sure everything is done. And so, we're missing her, but we're enjoying watching as well.”

Wayne cheekily admitted that he has been gunning for his wife to take part in a Bush Tucker Trial, and has been voting for her to do so.

He admitted: “Yes I would love for her to do a trial. It’s all part of the experience, and I think she'd be great as well.”

After Coleen revealed Wayne enjoys writing poems, he told the TV host: “I've always liked doing and writing poems and expressing my feelings in a different way as well. And yeah, so there'll be one waiting for her for sure,.

"It’s strange to be honest seeing her out there in the jungle, but I think she's doing a great job. I think she's showing everyone her personality, character, and I'm really enjoying the show. So yes, it's strange, but she's doing us all proud."
