I'm A Celebrity's Owen Warner reunites with brothers at hotel in emotional scenes

Owen Warner had an emotional reunion with his two brothers after he was runner up on I'm A Celebrity.

The Hollyoaks actor arrived back at the Gold Coast's Marriott hotel with his parents and as he walked into the foyer his two brothers Jake and Louie jumped out and hugged him.

Owen was then reunited with his pals from camp including Babatunde Aleshe, Seann Walsh and Sue Cleaver.

The heartwarming scenes were also captured by fellow campmate Mike Tindall, who took to Instagram as he recorded Owen's arrival. The former rugby star, 44, captioned the video: "What a family @_owenwarner."

The post followed his earlier upload which showed Owen enjoying a well deserved meal alongside his parents. Mike cheekily captioned the snap, which showed the star in his element: "At his happiest."

The 23-year-old came close to winning the final after over 12 million votes were cast. Throughout the series he overcame his fears, and seemingly near-constant hunger to triumph in the jungle.

Following his exit, he told Ant and Dec: "It feels mad to be honest. I feel like I've grown up a lot in here. I've definitely started sort of in awe of a lot of them and comparing myself like 'what am I doing here with these incredible people'.

"And instead I had to switch my mindset and think actually, I'm with these incredible people, let me learn as much as I can.

"I am also taking some incredible friendships, what we have been through in there. Literally it was the hardest thing I've ever done.

He continued: "I know for a fact I've made friends for life and I've been guided by them and I'm going to be a new man when I come out of here."

Owen was beaten to the win by Lioness Jill Scott, but the pair were close and hugged back at the hotel. All contestants seemed to enjoy their reuniting, with a number of embraces in the lobby.

There was even time for one last rendition of "don't come back without the stars" as they all put their hands into the circle and chanted their Bushtucker Trial anthem, much to the delight of their on-watching family and friends.
