Craig Charles leaves I'm A Celeb jungle after brother's death

Craig Charles has become the second star to walk out of the jungle on this year’s I’m A Celebrity after his brother died suddenly.

The Coronation Street star cut short his stay in the jungle after he was informed of the death of his older brother Dean.

The Corrie actor was missing from the live section of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! last night, after he was reportedly told by producers of the death.

Craig, 50, was not seen with his fellow contestants when presenters Ant and Dec entered the campsite on last night’s episode.
