ITV I'm A Celebrity's Charlene White vows to keep promise to Jill Scott as they head home from jungle

ITV I'm A Celebrity's Charlene White has vowed to keep a promise she made to Queen of the Jungle Jill Scott as she returns home from Australia.

The newsreader shared a photo of the pair in Queensland as Charlene expressed the 'pride and love' she had for the former Lioness. Jill won the reality show on Sunday (November 27), with Hollyoaks actor Owen Warner coming second at MP Matt Hancock finishing in third.

The women are smiling in a selfie with an arm around each other. Charlene is wearing a pair of sunglasses on the top of the head and what appears to be the interior of a hotel is in the background.

Captioning the sweet photo, Charlene said: "Our @imacelebrity Queen is heading home… and my heart is full of so much pride and love for this woman. She’s got the kindest and biggest heart, is ridiculously funny, came up with the best games to play in camp, has the best one-liners, is superbly talented, and was quite simply a joy to be around.

"She deserves all the love."

Charlene added that she would keep her promise, reiterating: "(And yes Jill, as promised I will take you to @burgerandlobster next time you’re in London - after you’ve given Alfie & Florence their football training session!)".

The Loose Women host became the first contestant to leave I’m A Celebrity after a vote by the public. The 42-year-old was announced as the celebrity with the fewest votes on Friday November 18's episode by hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

Meanwhile Jill received more than double the amount of votes that former Health Secretary Matt Hancock did in the first round of the show's finale, according to ITV. Matt was eliminated after he earned only 21.7% of the public vote, while actor Owen claimed 31% and former Lioness Jill received 47.3%.

But Jill won the final vote with 57.7% of the public vote, compared with Owen's 42.3%. A total of 10.1 million viewers tuned in to Sunday’s final, ITV said, making it the highest-rated since football manager Harry Redknapp won the Australian jungle reality show in 2018.
