Coleen and Shane Jr were talking about the EastEnders legend's performance in the castle on his post-show Instagram Live feed, where explosive comments have practically become the norm.

She told her son: "Can I say how proud I am of your dad? I think he's brilliant, I really do."

The lad then bluntly replied that Shane would never take her back - at which Coleen looked briefly shocked.

She then giggled before Shane added: "He's smashing it."

Coleen and Shane were married from 1990 until 1999 and share 31-year-old Shane and his brother Jake, 28.

The actor - whose real name is Shane Roche - went on to marry Christie Goddard in 2007 and the pair have three children together.

The Loose Women star, 55, paid a fulsome tribute to her ex last night, telling her son: "He's very funny - well, we know that. He's really kept his cool.

"I thought he'd have lost his cool by now because he's like you - he gets bored really easily."

Shane Jr, who was sharing a house with Coleen but appeared in different rooms, nodded in agreement.

The lad sparked controversy from the early days of his Instagram Live show, when he called his dad's co-stars "f***ing boring".

He launched a broadside against Russell Watson and Hollie Arnold, whose name he was unable to remember.

Shane told fans: "You haven't seen Russell since he's been in. You haven't seen MBE face. What's the name? The paralympian.

"There's a couple you don't see a lot of. Do you know why? It's because they're f**king boring. Sorry."

I'm A Celebrity returns to ITV tonight with Russell Watson being dunked into freezing slime while answering quiz questions.

The opera star, 54, had begged to do a trial - but it looks like he is regretting his decision in a sneak peek at Monday's show.
