ITV I'm A Celebrity's Sue Cleaver looks '20 years younger' as she enjoys freedom in Australia with Charlene White

Sue Cleaver has wowed fans following her exit from I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here as she makes the most of her free time in Australia. The Coronation Street star was the third contestant to be eliminated from the jungle after receiving the fewest votes from viewers of the ITV reality show.

But the actress, who is famed for playing Eileen Grimshaw in the ITV soap, didn't seem to mind being out earlier than her fellow reaming campmates. After leaving camp, Sue told the show's hosting duo Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly: "Camp life, I’ve absolutely adored it. I’ve absolutely adored waking up in the jungle, that has been wonderful.

"You can stuff your trials where the sun don’t shine quite frankly." When asked whether she felt as though her time in the jungle was done, she added: "Absolutely, I’d absolutely had enough, I’d hit a wall. It’s the anxiety, it’s the not knowing, it’s having absolutely no control over your life. That’s weird. That is so weird."

But Sue has been making the most of her free time Down Under and has been posting photos of herself and Charlene on Instgaram. "Day trip with my gal @charlenewhite and some Aussie residents… " she captioned a string of snaps as the pair got up close and personal with some cute koala bears and kangaroos.

They did, however, also get another taste of camp life with a sneaky snake slithering through the grass. Sue and Loose Women star Charlene also decided to say those all important words - 'Im A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here' - in true Ant and Dec style as they stood on a bridge.

But fans were soon distracted by Sue and were quick to compliment her. @s.dukes571 said: "Great photos Sue your looking well." @lynbohoho commented: "Sue you look amazing." @helensmith35702 replied: "Brilliant pictures Sue you are looking brilliant jungle life obviously suits you."

Charlene also shared a photo of the pair enjoying dinner together, writing: "Reunited… and it felt so good. My girl @officialsuecleaver," before adding a string of red hearts. And again her followers were quick with the compliments. @ drea70s said: " Sue looks about 20 years younger....WOW Suuuuuuuuuuueee."

@sister2sisterbu wrote: "Awww the 2 Mummy's of the Jungle. Looking great Queens." @anielagorzala commented: "Beautiful photo of the two of you, think you definitely have a Special Bond!!" @mikoalig shared: "Gorgeous pic ladies. Well done for being real in the jungle." @skipper_antonia18 added: "You look gorgeous ladies!"

Following her exit from the jungle, Sue shared a video confirming she was back on her socials after her family took over while she was in camp. And her Corrie co-stars were quick to welcome her back. Ryan Thomas, who played her on-screen son Jason Grimshaw in the soap, replied: " Love you."

Gareth Pierce, who now portrays her on-screen son Todd Grimshaw, said: "W elcome back, Mama Grimshaw! Lots of love." Billy Mayhew star Daniel Brocklebank commented: " Can’t wait to have you back!!!" Sally Carman, who plays Abi Webster, posted: " You look terrific." While on-screen partner Tony Maudsley, who plays George Shuttleworth, simply added: " THERE she is!"
