I'm A Celeb's Owen Warner reveals struggle to learn Hollyoaks lines

Owen Warner has admitted he found himself struggling to learn his Hollyoaks lines after getting back from the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! jungle.

The actor who stars as Romeo Nightingale in the Channel 4 soap was a camper on the latest series of the reality show and finished second behind winner Jill Scott.

He is now at home in the UK and is back at work on the show.

During an appearance on This Morning, Alison Hammond asked the 23-year-old if it was weird to be at work again after his jungle stint.

Owen was a bit rusty when he got back to work

"It is a little bit," he said.

"I was on set the other day and I was literally there doing lines and I was like, 'Mate did that even happen?'

"I was straight back into work."

Alison also asked if Owen had any trouble returning to the routine of learning his lines for the TV show, and he confessed that at first things weren't "sticking".

"I was a bit rusty when I came back because usually I'm fine with learning lines, I read a page once or twice and it's in my brain," Owen said.

"But I came back and I read it once or twice and it wasn't sticking!"

Talking about why he had signed up for I'm A Celebrity in the first place, the TV star told Alison and her co-host Dermot O'Leary that there had been one big reason meeting Ant and Dec.
