That’s Rebekah Vardy’s concern, and it has almost stopped the 35 year old mum of four from taking up her spot on the celebrity show.

“She’s going in – but she nearly pulled out yesterday,” said the source.
“She’s really worried about leaving her kids behind and is really panicking about it.”
Rebekah has decided to continue with her plan to enter the jungle, but she’s put some measures in place to make sure she’s away from her children for as short a time as possible.
“She was about to pull out because she can’t bear the thought of being away from them for so long, however she has now arranged to fly them out too so that they are with her the minute she leaves the camp,” said The Sun’s source.
“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.”
