Campmate Alan Halsall - best known as Corrie's Tyrone Dobbs - remarked he'd been on a caravan holiday a few weeks ago. Coleen then shared about her caravan holidays in Wales with husband Wayne and the kids.

She said: "We go a couple of times a year. They used to have a band on called The Hut, you used to all take your own ale. You all used to get up and sing a song!"

Coleen also reflected on her childhood caravan holidays with her family. She shared: "We used to have [a caravan] when we were kids.

"My dad bought it for £200 and it didn't have a toilet, so we had a dunny and we used to call it the p*** pot." The star joked: "We got £50 when it got scrapped, so we got our money's worth."

Praising Coleen's grounded nature, campmate DJ Melvin Odoom said: “That girl is down to earth. I think I’m more bouji than Coleen!”.

Coleen is currently the only celeb campmate to be behind tipped winner Danny Jones, of pop group McFly. Her odds have just recently been cut to 5-2 (from 6-1), following the strong support she received over the weekend - according to Coral's bookmakers.
