Many famous faces in the I'm a Celebrity camp have well-known relatives, and Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver is no different.
The 59-year-old, who was eliminated from the jungle last night, previously opened up about being adopted and how she met her birth mother for the first time in her 20s. Sue told her I'm a Celeb co-stars of the heart-warming moment while they were sitting around the firepit.
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." She said when she walked in, an actor exclaimed: "Oh my god, she's the absolute double of my wife when I met her."
