Charlene White had revealed a 'beautiful' moment from the Australian jungle that didn't get aired featuring I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here winner Jill Scott. The Queen of the Jungle was reunited with Charlene on Loose Women on Tuesday (December 6) after they both appeared in the 2022 series.
While Charlene ended up being the first campmate to be voted out, Jill lasted the full three weeks in the jungle where she faced former health secretary Matt Hancock and Hollyoaks star Owen Warner in a race for the crown. But it was former Lioness Jill who captured viewers' hearts right from the off when she stormed across a plank thousands of feet in the air before jumping off the Gold Coast building alongside Charlene.
Following the final, which took place on November 27, it was revealed that Jill won the first round of voting in the last episode with 47.3 percent of the votes compared with 21.7% for MP Matt while soap star Owen claimed 31%. She then won the final vote with 57.7%, compared with Warner’s 42.3%, ITV said.

Appearing in her first in-person interview since being crowned the I'm A Celeb 2022 winner on Loose Women, Jill was given a heroes welcome as the studio was covered in confetti while the former England footballer was given her own throne to sit on. Charlene helped Jill reminise on her jungle journey, sharing how the pair had become close in the camp before Charlene left and also formed a friendship with Jill's partner, Shelly.
But addressing one moment viewers didn't get to see on the Ant and Dec-fronted reality show, Charlene said: "There were so many bits that weren't shown but I think one of the most beautiful moments of us as campmates was when you and Owen [Warner] created the jungle 11.
"You gave us all our positions on the football field and what was amazing was that Jill made football shirts out of origami with the bags that our rice and beans came in. We all had our own little shirts with our names on them that you made using charcoal from the fire with our numbers on them and it was that attention to detail that gave us a great camp experience which was amazing."
Jill replied: "When I realised there were 11 in camp straight away I was like, 'We've got a football team'. We gave all the campmates their own little shirt." She also shared the reason she made Boy George the captain of the team and how it appears to have inspired him since returning to the UK.
"Boy George told us this story about how football never really accepted him when he was younger so we made him captain hoping he would fall in love with football again," Jill said before recalling she got a message from the Culture Club singer when he decided to tune into the World Cup.
Jill was also quizzed by Janet Street-Porter on whether she's heard from Matt, and whether he's in or out of the campmates' WhatsApp group after she failed to get an answer from co-star Charlene. "I haven’t had a message of him yet," the 35-year-old said.
She then diplomatically added: "My knowledge of politics isn’t actually that good so once we got into the jungle and everyone puts the jungle outfits on, we were one team. He was going to get the stars, he was feeding us, so I was happy with that."
