ITV I'm A Celebrity's Owen Warner gets surprise from look-alike brothers in emotional family reunion

Hollyoaks actor Owen Warner came runner up to Lioness Jill Scott in the final of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here on Sunday night (November 27). The 23-year-old won the hearts of viewers during his three week stint in the Australian jungle where he took on various trials and became well known for his struggles over the lack of food.

The actor, who plays Romeo Nightingale in the Channel 4 soap, was voted in second place by the public followed by MP Matt Hancock in third place. During his last day in camp Owen took on Bushtucker Bonanza where he ate gruesome dishes from a fermented duck egg to a camel's testicle to earn stars in return for main courses for himself and his campmates.

After Jill, Matt and Owen each won five stars, their final meal in the jungle consisted of a lavish three-course meal with any starter, main, dessert, snack and drink of their choice, with Owen choosing a huge quadruple stacked burger for his main dish.

Before announcing the winner of the 22nd series, hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly asked the actor what it would mean for him to win the show.

Having formed a close friendship with his fellow finalist Jill, Owen said: "This girl is a superstar honestly, she is a sweet sweet soul. Seeing her wear the crown would be winning it for me."

After Ant and Dec revealed they had received a whopping 12 million votes in this year's final, they announced it was former professional footballer Jill who would be taking the title of this year's Queen of the Jungle.

Owen was congratulated by the hosts before running off to reunite with his mum.

But it was a special moment Owen shared with his brothers after the live show that viewers can't get enough off.

As the actor left the camp his two older brothers Jake and Louie took to Owen's Instagram story to share that they would be surprising him in Australia whilst they dressed in disguise as rangers.

A video later shared on the star's TikTok and Instagram page showed the pair sneaking up on Owen and joining a family picture with their mum and dad before taking down their scarfs to unveil themselves.

A shocked Owen was left open mouthed before jumping into his brothers arms as the trio hugged together and jumped up and down.

Following the surprise reunion Owen shared the special moment with his fans on social media.

He wrote: "My brothers dressed as rangers and surprised me when I came out the jungle this morning… I had NO IDEA.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your votes and support, I’ve had the most incredible time with the most amazing people. Still processing everything, I can’t quite believe it.

"I’m keeping my phone turned off until I get back to England so I’ll respond to all your messages when I’m back. Until then, big big love this is all mad."
