What the I'm A Celebrity stars of 2022 are doing now after leaving the Australian jungle

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 2022 is over for another year after Jill Scott became the latest Queen of the Jungle after three weeks of Bushtucker trials, rice and beans and camp life just over a week ago. And after this quick stint in the Australian jungle, the eleven stars wasted no time in settling back into their regular lives.

As former England Lioness Jill, 35, was crowned the winner, Hollyoaks actor Owen Warner, 23, came second while former health secretary and serving MP, 44-year-old Matt Hancock found himself in third place. After leaving the jungle, the final three were greeted with open arms by their fellow campmates, with whom they shared this "unforgettable" experience, and danced the night away together at the I'm a Celeb wrap up party.

But soon, it was time to go home and away they flew. But what are they all doing now?

The winning celebrity, Jill, - who was gasping for a flat white upon leaving the jungle - headed straight to her Manchester-based coffee shop called BOXX 2 BOXX Coffee, which she shares with her fiancée Shelly Unitt, to get her caffeine fix, reports OK! Magazine. Speaking on Loose Women on Tuesday, December 6, she also revealed that she was papped coming out of the shop with some advent calendars and a bag of frozen chips, with the exposure of being on the show, really hitting home with the Lioness.

But Jill wasn't the only celeb to make a dash for normality as controversial contestant Matt Hancock flew back to the UK with his partner Gina Coladangelo and quickly made his return to the House of Parliament to resume his duties as an MP. The west Suffolk politician was seen attending the second reading of his Dyslexia Screening and Teacher Training Bill at the Commons on Friday, December 2, less than a week after the final of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 2022 took place.

Daytime television panellist and journalist Charlene White returned to her Loose Women ladies on Thursday, December 1, joining Linda Robson, Denise Welsh and Carol McGiffin for a good old chin wag about the latest developments in the news and showbiz world. Later in the week, she was reunited with her jungle 'son' and I'm a Celeb runner up Owen Warner on the programme.

As for Owen Warner, he has been spotted on red carpets with his friend and campmate Seann Walsh, but we're sure it won't be long before he's back on our screens in Hollyoaks, as his character Romeo was temporarily written out of the show for a few weeks on a trip to Spain, reports Digital Spy.

The pair attended Vodaphone's 'Faces of Disconnection' event in London recently, which aims to raise awareness of the digital divide. Seann wrote on his social media: "So nice to see my jungle mate @_owenwarner for such a good cause".

Seann Walsh it seems is back on his comedy game, selling out a show at Soho Theatre between Monday, December 5 and Saturday, December 10.

He wrote on his Instagram: "Been a good while since I’ve posted those two words! But just to let you know, we’re really trying to get some more shows on sale before Christmas. I’ve had an overwhelming number of messages from people asking when they can see me. I don’t understand how it all works but I’ll do it in your garden if I have to!* Watch this space."

Scarlette Douglas, 35, too, was seen dressed to the nines as she attended the MOBO Awards at Wembley Arena in London on Wednesday, November 30. She returned to our screens on Monday, November 5 with her brand new show My Dream Derelict Home in the Sun on Discovery Plus.

Chris Moyles made his way back to his Radio X breakfast show on Monday, December 5 after six weeks away - and was joined by campmate Seann Walsh, his social media revealed - and upon entering the studio once, he saw it had been decorated with jungle trees to transport him back to the Aussie outback.

While some celebs have flown back to the motherland, Mike Tindall with his wife Zara - who he met in Australia in 2003 - decided to stay Down Under and extend their trip in the sun with trips to Melbourne and Adelaide for events such as the The VALO Adelaide 500 - four days of Repco supercar racing and entertainment.

Sue Cleaver embraced the Christmas period at home and enjoyed a festive afternoon tea while Babatunde Aleshe is busy preparing for a busy 2023 tour - Babahood - which, after selling our 12,000 tickets, has had extra dates added.

Boy George has returned to music, releasing a song called 'How To Be A Chandelier', inspired by the great musician Liberace.
