Loose Women's Charlene White nearly quit I'm A Celebrity after just one day

Charlene White came close to quitting I'm A Celebrity after just one day, as she struggled with the unnerving reality of jungle life.

When the Loose Women host and ITV news anchor was confirmed to be on the line-up of the hit show, it was reported that bosses were hoping she'd give her campmates a real grilling around the campfire; but, it became apparent early on that Charlene was struggling with the reality of being on I'm A Celebrity and the challenges it posed.

Viewers saw her wake up after her first night in the jungle and admit she'd 'had a little cry' after struggling to sleep and being scared of the creatures that could be in and around her sleeping bag. And, then after quitting the Watery Grave trial, Charlene then sobbed in co-star Sue Cleaver's arms as she cried over her disappointment at 'letting everyone down.'
