Hollyoaks' Owen Warner 'looking for love' on ITV's I'm a Celebrity

Hollyoaks star Owen Warner has said he will be on the lookout for love during his stint on I'm a Celeb.

The ITV show will return to the Australian jungle this weekend, as a number of new celebs take on bush tucker trials. Geordie hosts Ant and Dec will be back once more as they stifle their laughter as the star contestants squeal and squirm and the bugs and critters around them.

While some campmates will set a goal of looking to collect as many stars as possible, Hollyoaks actor Owen has other plans. Ahead of entering the jungle, he told ITV that he was "looking for love".

He said: “I don’t have a partner, I am always looking for love!” He added that he would like people to get the real him, as he said: “I am excited for people to get to know me as a person and not a character."

The soap star added: “People are so used to seeing me recite lines that have been written for me, and most of them are not what I would say myself. My character has been written out whilst I take part in the programme. He has gone to Spain for a little bit."
