I’m A Celeb’s Charlene White shares emotional reunion with her kids after a month away

I'm A Celebrity star Charlene White was ecstatic as she reunited with her kids after more than four weeks away.

The Loose Women panellist, 42, might have been the first campmate to leave this year's show, but she stayed Down Under as the show continued.

And she's eventually returned to Blighty, touching down on Wednesday, much to the delight of her two children.

She shared a snap on Instagram of her hugging daughter Florence, three and son Alfie, five, following their day at school.

The trio all smiled happily in the picture as they stood in the kitchen of her South London home.

Captioning the heartwarming snap, the news presenter gushed: "Charlene captioned the sweet snap: "Missed these hugs maaaaaaan. Missed these two so much. The school run was quite something this afternoon, they’ve both grown so much."

She went on to thank TV producer partner Andy Woodfield for keeping everything in order at home while she tackled the jungle.

"Huge thanks to Andy for holding down the fort back home," she added. "This adventure could never have happened without his love and support, and I know at times it was hard.

"Thanks to family, friends and neighbours who’ve lent a helping hand while I’ve been away.

"And thanks to my sis @_carinawh for running the socials, and whose hug at the end of that bridge (with a very smelly me apparently) meant the world."

A number of her campmates were on hand to show their support in the comments section with Sue Cleaver, Owen Warner and Babatunde Aleshe all sharing heart emojis.

Throughout the show, Charlene was open with how much she was missing her kids. On the first night, she cried herself to sleep as she missed the youngsters.

But back home, they had a genius idea to count down the days until she returned.

Taking to her Instagram Stories again on Wednesday, Charlene shared the youngsters' 'How long until mummy's home' chart, which allowed them to take off the days as they went by.

She wrote on the image: "Brilliant tip from a friend to do this for the kids, so they could cross out each day I was gone, and know when I was coming back."
