Denise Welch has taken aim at her Loose Women co-star Charlene White for her 'friendship' with Matt Hancock, sharing a tweet from a viewer about them 'besties' on I'm A Celebrity. And Denise has given a strong hint she's ready to voice her opinions to Charlene on the matter once she's back home.
Charlene was one of the most vocal campmates when it came to voicing her opinions of former Health Secretary Hancock entering the jungle as a late arrival. After remarking in the Bush Telegraph that she 'imagined this hasn't gone down very well at home,' Loose Women host and ITV news anchor Charlene put Hancock on the spot about why he decided to do the show, with him telling her: " "There are so few ways in which politicians can show that we are human beings." As Charlene looked distinctly unimpressed, he added: "I can use this to sort of, peel myself back a bit and just be me."
Reacting to his answers out of earshot, Charlene commented: "Matt has a tough hill to climb and me, as journalist, have to ask him."

As Hancock was then grilled over his handling of the Covid pandemic and his Downing Street 'rule break' Charlene explained that her auntie had died during the first wave, meaning it was still a very raw subject for her and his excuse of 'falling in love' for flouting Government guidance was hard for her to stomach.
The pair were forced to work together when Hancock chose Charlene to be his deputy as he took on Mike Tindall in a battle to be camp leader and, after emerging victorious, Charlene asked him: “Does this win feel sweet, especially after you lost to Boris? Do you feel like you have been vindicated?” And, after Matt replying: “This more than makes up for it," Charlene added: “I’m super, super proud of Matt for winning one leadership contest.”
One I'm A Celebrity viewer tweeted Denise after watching Sunday's episode with a clip of her on screen screaming in despair, captioned: ""Denise Welch seeing Charlene and Matt being besties" and the ex Coronation Street star then shared it on her own timeline and added: "Brilliant and true!!!"
In the comments section underneath, Denise then hinted she would confront Charlene over her niceties with Hancock, once she's out of the jungle. When asked by a follower 'but will you tell her exactly what you think when she's out & back on LW?' Denise replied: "What do you think??"
