Im A Celebs Charlene Whites family proudly watch her jungle debut on big screen

Charlene White's family gathered to watch her I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here debut projected onto a big screen.

The Loose Women host, 42, bravely leapt from a skyscraper while attached to a bungee rope to earn a meal for camp during the first challenge on Sunday night’s opening episode.

The mum-of-two’s sister, Carina White, shared a video on Twitter the following day showing how friends and family had gathered in Peckham, London, to watch the show together.

In the video, Carina said: "I don't even know what I'm saying, but Rebecca and I organised for all the family and friends to come out and watch the first episode together.

"I definitely need to see you nam some kangaroo balls, just one and then I'll vote for you to win, love you!"

Carina captioned the video: "Anyone who knows us knows how important family is, so we all came together to watch the first episode together last night of I’m a celeb…just watch the reactions!!"

The video featured lots of warm wishes from family members, including Charlene's nieces and nephews.


Fans heaped praise on the video, with one writing: "Your sis done you guys proud yesterday, if she firms it the way she did yesterday she’s going to be a winner."

ITV newsreader Charlene completed The Ledge challenge along with retired professional footballer and Lionesses Euro’s winner Jill Scott. 

The task saw the two celebs bungee jump from a 32-storey building – although fellow contestant, comedian Babatúndé Aléshé, bowed out with fear.

Carina’s video showed Charlene’s family whooping and cheering as she sailed through the skies following the leap.

Charlene has started life in the jungle well – though on Monday night’s episode she was filmed weeping in bed because she missed her kids Alfie, five, and Florence, three.


She said: "I think I was over emotional, I was missing the kids, it just got released through tears really and I just couldn’t stop crying."

The broadcaster’s tears came after she predicted she would cry in the jungle.

Before entering camp, she told The Sun: "I will definitely get teary. It’s a foregone conclusion.

"I am going to miss our daily routine with the kids, I am going to miss waking up with them and having quiet time before the school run and that’s what is going to get me tearing up. It will be weird."
