With just a week to go until the launch of the new season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! it seems some of this year’s rumoured contestants are having second thoughts.

The 35-year-old is married to Leicester City star Jamie Vardy and is one of the celebrities that is believed to be heading down under over the coming days to get ready for the show’s premiere next week.

However, according to reports in The Sun, the mum-of-four has revealed that she is hesitant.

“She’s going in – but she nearly pulled out yesterday,” a source revealed.

“She’s really worried about leaving her kids behind and is really panicking about it.”

It is now being said that the mum has decided to follow through on her commitment to the show but will be flying her children out to Australia so that she can be with them the minute she leaves camp.

“Rebekah is going to be the last celeb to land in Australia because this has been such a last minute decision and she doesn’t want to be separated from her family any longer than necessary.”

Rebekah is mum to 10-month-old Finlay and Sofia, three, with Jamie, but is also mum to Megan, 11, and Taylor, six, from a previous relationship.

The new season of I’m A Celeb is due to begin November 19.
