I'm A Celeb fans were left "blown away" after Friday night's show as Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver opened up about being adopted.
The 59-year-old told of how she met her birth mother for the very first time after a chance meeting with her husband at an audition when she was in her early 20s.
Speaking to her fellow campmates, Sue said: "It was when I was at drama school, I was about 22/24, and Royal Exchange were looking for little tiny parts for Oedipus."

Sue explained that when she walked into her audition, an actor said: "Oh my god, she's the absolute double of my wife when I met her."
The actor then asked Sue her date of birth.
Sue said he said: 'Oh, so where were you born?'
Sue continued: "And I went, 'Barnet.' He rung his wife, and he said, 'I've found her.'"
Scarlette Douglas reacted: "What!" while Jill Scott added: "Nah, that has just given me goosebumps!" and Babatúndé Aléshé said: "That's spooky! That's mad."
Sue continued: "It's uncanny, and I've got two half-sisters who are all in the business."
Jill said: "That is the most incredible story I think I've ever heard."
Sue added: "It's lovely because my mum and my birth mother, we've all met, been out for dinner, we've all kept in touch, so we've all had a lovely relationship ever since, so it's a nice ending. I'm very lucky."
Viewers were left gobsmacked by the story as they took to Twitter to praise the star.
They said: "hearing sue's story was genuinely so touching. her adoptive youth was so similar to mine. it's good to hear that other adoptees suffer/ed from similar attachment disorders. her birthday is the same as my adoption date, what kind of glitch in the matrix is this".
Another said: "Listening to Sue talk about her adoption and attachment issues is really relatable; not many other adopted folk out there are open with the darkness that can follow us even though we're so grateful for the life we were given."
A third wrote: "Sue Cleaver's adoption story. Wow."
While a fourth added: "@Sue_Cleaver's story is so touching..it might explain why she is so wise."
