Oh no! Arlene Phillips became emotional when she spoke about her daughter on Tuesday night’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
It was at that point she started crying and Naughty Boy reassured her: ‘You’re the reason we’re all trying to be better as well. Let me give you a hug, you’ve got nothing to worry about. You’ve made me feel like I’ve got someone here.’
Arlene replied: ‘We are OK, that’s the thing.’
Naughty Boy insisted: ‘That’s because you’re the queen!’

Arlene and Naughty Boy have been living in the squalid separate camp which is new to this year’s series and is being named The Clink.
Richard Madeley, Danny Miller and David Ginola also join them in there.
Naughty Boy admitted in the episode that he may leave the camp as he spoke to the rest of The Clink: ‘I do think my time here is done. I had a feeling earlier and I was thinking about mum and obviously I love you guys.

‘I don’t think after knowing what the Main Camp probably knew what they were putting me through knowing I did the challenge earlier – I don’t know if I could ever join that camp.’
He went on: ‘This isn’t a random big decision… I’ve tried my best both times today. I just can’t go from here into that Main Camp… I can’t fake that.
‘I’m sorry. One thing I’ll tell you before you guys go into the Main Camp, as much as they say they love us, they love you… there is no love. When you guys go to the Main Camp, they’re the reason why I left.’

They found themselves in the smaller camp after Richard lost his first challenge.
Back on the main camp in Tuesday episode, Louise Minchin has been up very early, and explained: ‘Very difficult to judge how much sleep I’ve had, as I’ve been awake for ages. It feels like about three hours.’
Louise then told Frankie Bridge she’d washed her hair in cold water, to which the Loose Women panelist shared: I’ve still got yesterday’s knickers on. Maybe I’ll do a knicker change then… I’ve got five [pairs].
‘I’ve got a pair on, a dirty pair that I walked in… they smell great though guys, I sprayed them with loads of perfume. You can have a whiff whenever you want.’
