I'm A Celebrity viewers have noticed some of the campmates having been attempting to send secret messages from the jungle home.

I'm A Celebrity campmates have come up with ways to communicate with their loved ones back home, and viewers have started to notice them.

There is no communication allowed between the celebrities and the outside world, meaning that they cannot speak to their partners, children or friends while taking part in the show.

However, there is a moment when all the celebrities know they are live on ITV1 and take advantage of this by sending secret signals to their loved ones back home.

Whether it's something written on their hat, a subtle gesture or a more obvious message, a lot of the stars that take part in the show work out their own way to tell their family and friends they love them.

And this year is no different, with Chris, Sue, Charlene and Owen all coming up with ways to communicate with their families.

Chris Moyles, for example, has been seen on several occasions wearing a hat with a 'T' drawn on it with charcoal from the fire.

This is for his girlfriend, Tiffany, who he has been with since 2015.

Christine Lampard, who hosts Loose Women alongside Charlene, revealed on a recent episode of the show: "Apparently this is to let us know, and her family know, that everything is going OK...she's going to be rubbing her ear whilst doing this so it looks like an L!"

Charlene's family are sure to be watching her back at home, including her husband Andy and their two children Alfie and Florence.
