ITV I'm A Celebrity's Charlene White vows to keep special promise to Queen of the Jungle Jill Scott

I'm a Celebrity 2022 has come to an end after three weeks which saw former Lioness footballer Jill Scott crowned Queen of the Jungle on Sunday, November 27 on ITV. She triumphed over actor Owen Warner who came second and Matt Hancock, who came third.

And now, just days after the series final, Loose Women's Charlene White, who became the first celebrity to leave the jungle after receiving the fewest votes from the public, revealed on social media that she has vowed to keep a promise she made to the formerfFootball champion upon their return home.

Sharing a smiley picture of the pair - in regular clothing, a change from their red and beige camp wear - reunited, with their arms around each other, the Loose Women star, 42, gushed over the "pride and love" she had for Jill, 35.

She captioned the picture: "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."

The journalist added of the promise that she is determined to keep - in return for a few football tips: "(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!)"

This post was met with an outpouring of love for the show and the pair, with many calling for Jill to make an appearance on Loose Women.

The final of I'm a Celebrity 2022 took place on Sunday, November 27, and had a whopping 10.1 million viewers, according to the Manchester Evening News, which makes it the highest show rated since Harry Redknapp's win in 2018 on the jungle-based show, it reports.

Jill's coronation into jungle royalty is the first since coronavirus. The show, which over the last two decades has been held in Australia, took place in Wales at Gwrych Castle throughout the pandemic.
