I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! fans have fumed as Charlene White finally opened up about her refusal to sleep in the camp RV.
The Loose Women star won the luxury of sleeping in a normal bed next to Matt Hancock after the politician was voted as camp leader and picked her to be his deputy.
But the 42-year-old became topic of conversation after she remained sleeping outside, causing a stir amongst the other campmates as they had to endure the hammock.

In a chat with Sue Cleaver, Charlene finally addressed the reason behind her decision and revealed it was because she is an “impartial journalist” which means she shouldn’t be sleeping in a room with the Tory MP.

She told the Corrie star: “Coming here doesn’t eradicate my impartiality. I’m an impartial journalist. I can’t be sharing a room with a sitting MP because that just doesn’t sit well with me.”
The star added: “If he were to ever become minister again, how can I sit and question him about anything if I’ve shared a room with him.”
But Charlene’s reasoning didn’t sit well with viewers of the show who flocked straight to social media calling her a hypocrite.
One user wrote: “Charlene saying she’s a respecting journalist and doesn’t want to tarnish her journalist intentions but then your on a itv show doing stupid things for a lot of money!”
“Shes having a laugh , if she thinks we will fall for that load of rubbish.. I’m impartial journalist so I can’t sleep in the RV .so what’s the difference between sleeping in camp with anyone next 2 u? ..your not sharing a bed! There’s cameras everywhere…,” penned another.
A third exclaimed: “Charlene’s the biggest hypocrite in the world! All the excuses.”

“Charlene won’t share the camp van with Matt because of her need to be an impartial journalist – I’ve never heard such nonsense,” added another.
Echoing these thoughts, a fifth added: “#Imaceleb since when has any journalists who are not on BBC been made to be impartial? Piers Morgan, nope, Susanna Reid? Richard Madeley? Andrew Neil? Eamonn Holmes?”
While a sixth seethed: “Oh Charlene please. Just say you don’t want to share the RV with Matt. Saying you can’t share it, as it would compromise your impartiality as a journalist is insulting to everyone’s intelligence.”
