Kelly Osbourne has revealed both she and her brother Jack were left in tears when they were able to chat for the first time in weeks last night following his I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! departure.
Mr Osbourne was eliminated on Friday night alongside Emmerdale actress and fellow campmate, Lisa Riley.
Ms Osbourne, who regularly used her Instagram page to share her opinions on her brothers’ time in the jungle, returned to the platform on Saturday to shed light on how their reunion went.
“So I just got off the phone with my brother,” Ms Osbourne said in a video update. “I know I just said in my last post, we laughed, we cried.

“I am so unbelievably proud of him. He did so incredibly in the jungle.
“Thank you to everybody that voted for him and helped make this journey so special for him and for all of us, I think that it is the best thing he could have done for himself right now.
“He made so many good friends, just hearing all the stories and hearing about everything that they didn’t show on the show, and how lovely everybody was.”
Turning her attention to the final four, Ms Osbourne went on: ” I honestly don’t know who I would want to win now.

“Um, I think everybody that is left is incredible. Everybody that was in the jungle was incredible. But if I had to vote, my vote’s with Tom (Read-Wilson). I love him.”
Mr Osbourne and Ms Riley’s departures came just one day after Martin Kemp was voted out, with the Spandau Ballet star’s limited participation in trials having sparked controversy among viewers.
Their elimination leaves four contestants remaining in camp: Twitch streamer Angry Ginge, former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, Celebs Go Dating’s Mr Read Wilson, and rapper Aitch, who will compete in Saturday’s semi-final.
Speaking to hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly after crossing the famous jungle bridge, Mr Osbourne reflected on his 21 days in camp. “I’m tired of camp life, but it was amazing. What an experience,” he said.
The media personality admitted he had been anxious about meal preparation throughout his stay. “I was worried we were all going to die of some strange jungle-born rare meat disease,” he explained, noting that nobody had volunteered as cook on day one.
Mr Osbourne, who, along with his sister, lost his father Ozzy earlier this year, described the experience as a welcome escape.
“It was nice to have the support from camp, it was nice to unplug,” he said, adding that the basic jungle living had been beneficial during a difficult period.
Elsewhere, Ms Riley became emotional during her exit interview when discussing her maternal role within the camp.
“I’ve not been lucky enough to be a mother in life, if I was able to be a jungle mum… If I’m mumma bear, I feel like I’ve won already,” she told the hosts.
The Emmerdale actress spoke of her determination to embrace joy and silliness rather than living in a “bog of doom,” describing herself as the jester on her soap set.
She formed particularly close bonds with the younger contestants, referring to Aitch and Angry Ginge as her “naughty little brothers” who allowed her to be her authentic self.
The remaining quartet will face the iconic Celebrity Cyclone challenge during Saturday night’s episode, battling wind and water in the fan-favourite Bushtucker trial before one more campmate is sent home ahead of Sunday’s grand finale.
Both departing celebrities offered predictions for the winner, with Mr Osbourne backing Mr Read Wilson to take the crown while Ms Riley tipped Angry Ginge to emerge victorious.
Friday’s episode also featured emotional reunions as campmates met their loved ones in the jungle, alongside Angry Ginge securing a full house of stars in the Worst Birthday Cake trial despite confronting huntsman spiders.
