A source told the publication: ‘She loves the idea of returning to telly and feels that now is her moment, especially as she’s more mature and her kids are older.

‘Coleen has always loved Loose Women and she’s said she would love to join as one of the panellists.

‘She loves fearless, opinionated women like Jane Moore and would love to get involved and have her say on things.’

The insider added that Coleen’s friends know her as someone ‘intelligent and not afraid to speak her mind’ – so she would be perfect for the show.

Jane – who stars on Loose Women is also in the Jungle so Coleen reportedly hopes to speak to her about the show when she’s there.

ITV and Coleen have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.

It comes as she’s revealed that only two out of her four sons will be flying over to Australia to greet her after her time on the show is over. 

Coleen is mum to Kai, 13, Klay, ten, Kit, seven, and Cass, six. 

But she has now told The Mirror: ‘My two youngest ones are coming over.

‘They all had the option but the two older ones decided that they would stay at home to continue with school and football. 

‘I think I said when you come you’ll have to bring your work with you, and they would be missing some football tournaments, so they quickly changed their minds! And also the fact that they don’t know when they get to see me. 

‘That was another big thing, is if I did last and stayed in close to the end, there’s not going to be any time spent with me so I explained that.’

It comes after Coleen revealed the secret code she will use to communicate with her children whilst she is on the show. 

The television personality will touch her personalised necklace that has her sons’ names on it.

Coleen is thought to be taking her Cloudbox Gifts necklace which costs £180 and everytime she touches it, she wants the boys to know that she is thinking of them.

Coleen, who is famous for her love of designer fashion and once fronted a £3 million campaign for George at Asda, has won plaudits for her down-to-earth attitude and dedication to good causes.

She began her presenting career in May 2006 when she appeared alongside Sir Trevor McDonald in a programme about genetic disorder Rett Syndrome, a condition which causes severe disability and which affected her adopted younger sister Rosie, who died aged 14 in 2013

After that, Coleen went on to present her own series, Coleen’s Real Women, which saw her labelled the nation’s favourite girl next door where she sought out ‘real women’, rather than models, to front high-profile advertising campaigns.

ITV bosses have long recognised her appeal, and are said to have been pursuing her for years to appear on I’m A Celebrity, but she has repeatedly turned down their offers to focus on her children.

But now her youngest son, Cass, is six, she finally feels ready to take on the ‘challenge’ – and to ‘do something for me’.

She told The Mail on Sunday: ‘It’s something that I will never ever do again in my lifetime, it’s a one-off adventure. 

Coleen is mum to Kai, 13, Klay, ten, Kit, seven, and Cass, six. But she has now told The Mirror: 'My two youngest ones are coming over'

‘We are so caught up in busy lives and with devices, and I just feel like now’s the time I could go and do something for myself because I feel like I’m always a mum, a wife.

‘It’s the perfect show. You are taking yourself away from a world where you’re constantly doing things, to a world where it’s back to basics and you’ve got to fend just for yourself and look after yourself.’

Although she realises she’ll be out of her ‘comfort zone’ she also sees it as an opportunity for ordinary television viewers to ‘see me for me’. 

She explained: ‘This show is going to be the most I’ve ever been exposed. Everyone has opinions of people in the public eye.’
