Jungle Queen Charlie Brooks Was On The Verge Of Quitting After Producers Upset Her Little Girl

The newly crowned Queen of The Jungle has revealed that she nearly shouted ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ after ITV producers used her daughter Kiki in a mini-trial.

The Eastenders actress who beat Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts to the throne said she was devastated after finding out her little one had been used as emotional bait.

According to The Daily Star Charlie said: “I was cut up pretty bad about it. I really did feel guilty.”

Fellow campmate David Haye expected Charlie to pull out of the show after the challenge, which he called cruel.

“She was really upset about it. She wanted to be with her daughter. I thought she might leave,” he told The Sun.

“I really thought that was a harsh game to play.

“I understand putting someone through some kind of mental torment but the fact that her daughter has been brought into it left a bitter taste in her mouth – in all our mouths. They went too far,” he said.

It was reported that seven-year-old Kiki was very upset not to have seen her mum.

After the challenge, Charlie said: “It felt like someone had taken a boot and kicked me in the guts. I didn’t even think having a member of family behind the door would have been an option. This is heartbreaking.”

The actress was crowned Queen by jungle regulars Ant and Dec last night and said: “Everyone's been amazing. David was our king down there. Eric with the fire. Everyone down there played their role.”
