I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Charlene White has a “secret signal” to let her family know that “everything is ok”, her Loose Women co-star Christine Lampard has said.
The TV presenter and journalist is currently taking part in the new series of the beloved ITV programme, along side celebrities and public figures including Boy George, Chris Moyles, MP Matt Hancock and Jill Scott.
Charlene has been a regular panelist on Loose Women since 2021, and during a recent episode of the daytime talk show, her co-stars revealed that the presenter would be using a “secret signal” to communicate with her family.

Charlene could be seen breaking down in tears during her first night in camp, as she revealed she became emotional after missing her partner Andy and their two children, Alfie and Florence.
The episode showed Charlene’s fellow camp mates asleep, with the presenter and journalist heard saying: “I’m going to say that my first night’s sleep in the jungle wasn’t great.”
She added: “I think I was over emotional, I was missing the kids. It just got released in tears really, and I just couldn’t stop crying.”

Her family have since broken their silence and taken to Instagram to share an emotional post about Charlene, with the family posting a sweet snap of the star with her children.
They captioned the post: “So who saw Charlene crying last night? We just wanted to jump through the TV and hug her.
“Before she left she made this countdown calendar for Alfie and Florence so they can mark off each day until Char comes home.
“Keep going Char, we are so proud of you!”
Since then, the star has taken on a number of roles in the camp, including cooking for her fellow celebs, before being made deputy leader alongside Matt Hancock.

It is reported that Charlene is not the only star who may be using secret signals to communicate to home while appearing on the programme either, with Chris Moyles having sent a message to his girlfriend Tiffany, by holding up his hands to create the letter T during a recent episode.
Meanwhile, Hollyoaks Romeo Nightingale actor Owen Warner also revealed to The Sun the sweet signal he would send to mum Polly, to let her know that he is missing her.
He said: “I will give her a little one of these [makes a half heart with his hand] it is a love heart, and she does the other half.”
