‘She really looked after me’: I’m A Celebrity’s Owen Warner fights back tears while detailing his bond with Charlene White after the pair had an emotional reunion on Loose Women

I’m A Celebrity star Owen Warner choked back tears on Friday’s Loose Women as he reunited with his jungle co-star Charlene White.

The Hollyoaks star, 23, became emotional as he detailed his bond with the newsreader, 42, telling the panel how Charlene ‘looked after me’ in the jungle in his mother’s absence. 

Owen and Charlene spent two weeks hauled up together with their campmates in the Australian jungle for the ITV show – which was eventually won by Lioness Jill Scott.

Owen had initially believed Charlene wasn’t on the show as he was earlier interviewed by Kaye Adams, Stacey Solomon, Judi Love and Nadia Sawalha. 

However, she stood came out and surprised him, before they went on to discuss their time on the Ant and Dec fronted show together.

Owen said of Charlene: ‘This woman here is amazing, beautiful inside and out – what a chef as well.’

Fighting back tears, he continued: ‘Charlene taught me so much in there about myself… she really looked after me.

‘I’m so close to my mum and family and to not have that. to not have anyone to come to when you need it, when you need help… and to have someone like Charlene.’

Owen continued: ‘Whenever I’m feeling low, whenever I’m not feeling myself,  Charlene is just there. Not pushing me, not trying to get answers out of me, not drill out what’s wrong with me… just cheering me up and being there.

‘Having someone like that is just beautiful.’ 

It comes after Owen revealed the tough times he endured in the jungle, admitting he was wrong to believe he would ‘breeze’ the challenge.

He told MailOnline he was confident going into the show because he hoped his high level of fitness would help to support his time in camp.

But after growing homesick and facing low points as a result of not eating properly, which Owen struggled with the most out of his campmates, he quickly realised the jungle wasn’t an easy feat.

When asked about his toughest moment in camp, Owen replied: ‘Which one? It was amazing in there, but it was very, very, hard.

‘I went into it with the mentality that I was going to breeze it. I thought, I’m an athletic geezer, I can do the challenges, I didn’t think about the food that much, and I didn’t think about the missing the family aspect.’
