The Loose Women star and journalist left the Australian camp at the end of Friday's episode.

Charlene White has been the first star to be voted off the latest series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The ITV journalist, broadcaster and anchor of Loose Women said: "It's been a journey, to use that ridiculous American phrase."

White began the series by taking on a gruelling height challenge at the top of an Australian skyscraper with new campmates Babatúndé Aléshé and Jill Scott.

However, the presenter came into conflict with singer Boy George over cooking in the camp, and frequently grilled MP Matt Hancock over his reasons for appearing on the programme, saying: "I may be in the jungle, but journalism's my first job."

She refused to sleep in a comfortable RV as deputy to Hancock's Camp Leader, explaining that she needed to remain impartial as a journalist and didn't want that compromised by "sharing a room" with the controversial politician, who was Health Secretary during the COVID pandemic.

In her final episode, White - alongside Boy George - took on a challenge called Watery Grave, which involved collecting stars in an underground box that rapidly filled with water. However, the ordeal was too much for Charlene, who used her get out phrase to abort the task: "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!"

The reality TV show made a triumphant return to ITV at the beginning of November, with the show returning to Australia for the first time in three years and Radio X DJ Chris Moyles joining the campmates.
