The I’m A Celebrity 2022 Coming Out special has been revealed.
Sunday saw the I’m A Celebrity 2022 winner crowned in the final live show of the series.
However it wasn’t the last instalment of I’m A Celeb for the year.
As is tradition, a special one-off following the celebs outside of the jungle will be on TV later this week.
I’m A Celeb’s 2022 Coming Out special now has a confirmed air date, showing on ITV on Thursday, 1 December at 9:15PM.
Celebs who took part in the series are Corrie actress Sue Cleaver, presenter Scarlette Douglas, radio broadcaster Chris Moyles, stand up Babatúndé Aléshé, musician Boy George and comedian Seann Walsh.
Completing the line up is Love Island star Olivia Attwood, Loose Women star Charlene White, Hollyoaks actor Owen Warner, England footballer Jill Scott, former rugby player Mike Tindall MBE and former health secretary Matt Hancock.
This year’s cast said goodbye to their home comforts and instead moved into the jungle Down Under with a whole host of surprises created just for them.
In the coming out special, cameras follow the celebs in their first days back in the real world.
Sue, Scarlette and Charlene all met for a girls’ cocktail catch up by the pool, they all commented that they’d not eaten a proper sized meal since being out of camp. Sue shares that she’s yet to have a ‘number 2’ since leaving camp and joked she’d earlier had muesli and prunes so ‘watch this space’.
Meanwhile Zara meets Mike on the bridge and gives him a huge hug. Ant and Dec ask if the budgie smugglers are a regular occurrence, to which Zara reveals they most definitely are.
As they get back to the room they have a visitor, Chris Moyles pops in with a bucket load of beer and he tells Zara: “I looked after him for you in there.” And she replies: “Did you enjoy his spooning and his hugs.”
When Matt leaves in third place, girlfriend Gina is there to greet him. He says: “You look amazing, I love you so much. I’m so sorry it’s been this long. It’s going to be great from here on in.”
In the car on the way back to the production site Matt says: “Of course I’m curious to how it’s gone, was I authentically me?” Gina says: “It took a few days I felt for you to relax.” Matt added: “When I was being grilled in the early days, I felt like people were asking me on behalf of the British public. I knew going in it would be controversial but I also know millions of people have voted for me.”
On the drive back Matt breaks into song, singing an Ed Sheeran song, to Gina’s embarrassment.
Finishing in second place, Owen’s mum Polly is there to greet him. Back at site Owen gets a surprise when his dad and his brothers are there to meet him.
Back at the hotel, the first thing Owen does is jump on the bed and he’s treated to a much-needed trim. He says: “This might be better than food.”
As the Queen of the Jungle is revealed, Jill’s partner Shelly says: “I just can’t wait to get hold of her and give her a big kiss.”
Jill’s first words to Shelly are: “Oh my god, I’m so in shock.”
In the car on the way back Jill reveals she is dying for a flat white coffee, she asks the driver to stop off enroute to the hotel. She says: “To go from three weeks in the jungle to be in a gold Hummer with Prosecco, a flat white and an egg bacon and cheese muffin. It’s like two contrasting worlds, I don’t think life could get any better.”
Jill concludes: “The aim was never to be Queen of the jungle, just to complete the journey. I still can’t believe it, it’s going to take a while for it to sink in.”
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! The Coming Out Show tonight at 9.15PM (Thursday) on ITV1 and ITV Hub
