Loose Women chaos as I'm A Celebrity link goes down before Charlene White shares Ant and Dec 'mistake'

Loose Women was thrown into chaos on Monday, November 21 as the studio prepared to talk to panellist and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star Charlene White. The journalist, who was the first to leave the jungle, appeared on a video link live from Australia.

Introducing Charlene to the live audience and viewers at home, presenter Jane Moore said: "Charlene joins us now for her first interview since leaving I'm A Celebrity," before addressing her co-star directly and asking: "You're out, my word what an absolute journey you have had, how are you feeling?"

However, Jane was met with silence as Charlene explained she wasn't able to hear anything in the studio. "Well, we were going to be talking to Charlene but we're now going to be trying to sort out the comms on that and I think we'll move on to the World Cup, shall we?" Jane said to her fellow Loose Women panellists, before she was told in her ear the show would be moving to the competition.

As the show returned Jane explained the studio was still having sound issues as they moved on to the next item on the agenda. However, following an advert break, the problems were resolved and the panel was able to speak to their co-star.

Heading back to the beginning, Jane brought up Charlene's experience on The Ledge where she was forced to walk a plank on top of an Australian building before heading to camp. The broadcaster was tasked with standing on the edge for 60 seconds but revealed she was actually up there for around 20 minutes, which broke records.

"They said it was the longest that anybody has stood on top of the ledge in the history of the programme!" she told her co-stars, before revealing presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly made a "mistake" during the challenge that saw Babatúndé Aléshé shout "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!" and withdraw.

"Ant and Dec made a mistake that day," she claimed, before explaining: "They forgot to tell us that they would be removing the plank after we'd reached the end so I didn't know the plank was gone.

"So if I had panicked and stepped backwards, I would've dropped because I didn't know. But that's what panicked Babatunde because when he saw my plank move, it spooked him and that's what prevented him from walking out to the end." For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
