Speaking about leaving her family behind to take part in I'm A Celebrity, Charlene admitted: "My partner is also mostly shocked I am doing this. We made the decision together but he was like, ‘I have no idea how you are going to cope!’ I am not a ‘need to wear make-up, nails’ kind of girl but I am not very outdoorsy.

“In fact, I know the fact I am volunteering to choose to sleep outside will come as a massive shock to everyone at work, too!”
