Charlene White has revealed the real reason she doesn't want to share a sleeping space with Matt Hancock on I'm A Celebrity.
The journalist frustrated other campmates after she refused to sleep in the RV with MP Mr Hancock - originally claiming she didn't want to sleep inside the shelter because of the spiders.
But the Loose Women presenter, 42, has now revealed the real reason she has been avoiding sleeping in the RV with the former health secretary.
Speaking to Sue Cleaver on tonight's update from the jungle, Charlene admitted: “I’m an impartial journalist, I can’t be sharing a room with a sitting MP because that just doesn’t sit well with me impartiality wise.
"And I just think, if he were ever to become minister again how can I sit and question him about anything when I’ve shared a room with him?”
Sue said: “It’s very, very tricky.”
The actress told the Bush Telegraph: “I absolutely see her point. When Charlene was talking about having to have impartiality being a newsreader it made total sense to me why it wouldn’t be great for her to be in an RV with Matt. Awkward.”
Charlene continued: “I would say that every conversation we’ve had that Matt’s been here constantly involves me doing calculations in my head about impartiality and making sure it doesn’t go too much in one direction.
"Constantly thinking about those guidelines and the broadcasting rules. It’s a constant thing that’s in my head on a daily basis.”
After Charlene was elected as Hancock's deputy for the camp, she and the MP were made exempt from chores and had proper beds inside the RV.
But when Charlene went to inspect the vehicle she spotted several huge spiders lurking and said that she was unable to sleep there because of the creepy crawlies.
Seann Walsh complained about having back pain after sleeping in the hammock since arriving in camp - resulting in Mike Tindall putting the pressure on for Charlene to give up the bed around the camp fire.
There was also confusion around why the spiders bothered her so much, especially when sleeping outside in the jungle posed more of a risk when it came to critters.
Speaking about Hancock's reaction to her avoiding the RV, Charlene said: “He gets it. He understands it. He understands my job. It’s just a bizarre situation, but that’s how I live my life on a daily basis. On Loose (Women) I have to do it.
"That’s why I can only ever be host, I can’t be ‘panel’. If you are on the panel you are giving your personal opinion on stories.

"I am helping conduct and facilitating that debate while posing questions of the panel whilst providing impartiality.
"If they are going too far in one direction I can pull them back because I have the facts and figures in my head because of my day job.
" Then all you get is a load of tweets from viewers saying, ‘I knew she was a Boris lover. I knew it!’”
