I'm a Celebrity's Jill Scott reflects on 'beautiful' unaired moment

Charlene White and Jill Scott discussed a "beautiful" unaired moment from I'm a Celebrity that saw the camp become a football team.

Jill joined the Loose Women panel to discuss how it felt to walk away as this year's Queen of the Jungle. Fellow campmate Charlene hosted today's programme as they both shared anecdotes of what life was really like on the show.

Charlene revealed the pair grew incredibly close in camp but very little of it was ever shown on screen. Following her elimination, because she had so much time to herself before the final, Charlene became pals with Jill's partner and ventured on several shopping trips which she joked left her "broke."

The ITV presenter spoke candidly on how some of the celebrities' best moments never made it to screen before she recalled a "beautiful" moment with Jill and the camp.

Speaking to Jill, Charlene said: "There were so many bits that weren't shown but I think one of the most beautiful moments of us as campmates was when you and Owen [Warner] created the jungle 11.

"You gave us all our positions on the football field and what was amazing was that Jill made football shirts out of origami with the bags that our rice and beans came in.

"We all had our own little shirts with our names on them that you made using charcoal from the fire with our numbers on them and it was that attention to detail that gave us a great camp experience which was amazing."

Jills said: "When I realised there were 11 in camp straight away I was like, 'We've got a football team'. We gave all the campmates their own little shirt."

The Lioness remembered exactly which campmates played what position as she detailed a touching story about the decision to make Boy George captain. She said: "Boy George told us this story about how football never really accepted him when he was younger so we made him captain hoping he would fall in love with football again."
