THEY’RE vying to be crowned king or queen of the jungle, but these I’m a Celeb stars have some added competition… from their siblings.
Fans were left swooning this week over Jill Scott’s hunky older brother after she posted about him on Instagram.
In one snap of the pair, the England Lioness, 35, wrote: “Can’t believe it’s been nearly 2 years since I seen my brother! Missed him loads and great to have him back at games!”
But she’s not the only star of the ITV show with a sibling that has caught the attention of viewers.
Emily Gilruth – Matt Hancock’s sister
The former Health Secretary is close with his older sister Emily, who nearly died in a horror horse show accident.
Emily, who used to compete on horseback for a living, fell from her mount at the Badminton Horse Trials in 2017.
It left her with a traumatic brain injury and she spent three weeks in the hospital before being allowed home.
Her time under medical care saw her looked after in ICU and in a coma.
Matt opened up about the horrific tragedy in a speech during his time as Health Secretary, saying: “I have never had a moment where somebody so close has been at a risk of dying.”
Emily went on to make a full recovery and now runs her own successful equestrian yard.
Emma and Kate Harbour – Sue Cleaver’s half-sisters
It seems acting runs in the family as both of Sue’s half-sisters also have credits on telly.
The Coronation Street star, 59, was adopted at birth and found her siblings thanks to a chance meeting with her birth mother’s husband.
Kate, the older of her two siblings, is an established voice actress and one of the stars of long-running children’s TV show Bob the Builder.
She has also appeared in Casualty, Doctors, Midsomer Murders, Heartbeat and Dixon of Dock Green.
While little sister Emma Bowe has also appeared in Coronation Street – originally in 2001 as Jayne Morgan and again in 2017 as a doctor.
She was most recently in the soap in 2020 and is married to former Corrie star John Bowe.
Jake and Louie Warner – Owen Warner’s brothers
Fans have been drooling over Owen‘s chiselled body – but he’s far from the only good-looking member of his family.
Both of his brothers are equally hunky and Louie has even made a modeling career out of his good looks.
Louie has done campaigns for Puma, Boohoo and Pepe Jeans after reportedly being scouted on Instagram.
He has also appeared on TV defending his brother over his “ditsy” comments.
Louie said: “He does have his ditsy moments but he’s not stupid at all. He’s actually really switched on.
“But his brain works in a different way so he might come across as, well you might think ‘that’s a bit stupid’. But sometimes you then think, in his own way, it makes a bit of sense.”
Owen’s other brother Jake has opted for a job on the other side of the camera. He refers to himself as a recording artist and video director.
His latest claim to fame, other than his brother, is producing the official BRIT after-party video.
Jake is understood to have flown out to Australia to be there for his brother, 23, when he leaves the jungle.
Stuart Douglas – Scarlette’s brother
Scarlette, 35, and her brother Stuart, 44, are used to working together as they flip properties and present shows as a duo.
The pair have worked together on Worst House on the Street, Love It or List It, and George Clarke’s Flipping Fast.
Stuart used to be a footballer and has played for Bath City, Poole Town, and Oxford United.
He is a father to four children, Marley, Tee-jay, Ocean and Ava-Rae, and is also a qualified physiotherapist.
When Scarlette went into the jungle, he joked that her campmates should be worried as she gets very angry when hungry.
He said: “While we’ve filmed Worst House, there have been times where she’s got hangry and told me off a few times.”
Siobhan O’Dowd – Boy George’s sister
Boy George, born George Alan O’Dowd, is one of six children – all boys except for his little sister Siobhan.
The singer, 61, is extremely close to his sister and has previously described her as “my rock”.
Siobhan has flown out to Australia to be there when he comes out of the jungle.
Talking about her brother, she said: “I’m so proud of George, he said how we all felt [when Matt Hancock joined] and it was hard to see him so upset.
“I will be there waiting for him when he comes out. Mum and I are cheering him on every night.”
Little is known about Siobhan and George’s other siblings as they keep their own lives very private – unlike the Culture Club singer.
According to IMDB Siobhan appeared in a music video for the band as a Boy George lookalike.
Carina White – Charlene’s sister
Charlene’s sister Carina was a huge support for her sister during her time in the jungle.
She shed light on Charlene’s reaction to Matt Hancock’s jungle entrance, explaining how close they were to a great aunt who died of covid.
Appearing on Loose Women, she said: “Yes the elders in our family were all very much like mother figures, and with my great-aunt she was very much a kind of grandmother.
“She was there for us when my mum passed so not having her around and having to go to her funeral and stuff was very, very tough.”
Carina, according to her website, is also a presenter like her sister and a podcast host.
Kieron Moyles – Chris’s brother
Like his famous sibling, Kieron also works in radio and even had a show on BBC Radio 6.
He keeps a much lower profile than Chris, but according to his social media Keiron is a father of two.
The DJ has also been posting in support of his little brother on I’m A Celebrity and encouraged people to vote to keep Chris in.
Kieron seemed pleased when his brother queried Matt Hancock’s apology, tweeting “well said r kid.”[sic]
He also retweeted a clip of Chris and Scarlette talking about the ex-health secretary.
