Craig Charles was missing from the live section of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! last night after he was reportedly told of his brother’s sudden death.

The Coronation Street star’s future on the ITV show is uncertain after he was informed of the death of his older brother Dean, The Sun said.

It is believed producers broke the news to him as he woke up in the Australian jungle, according to the newspaper.

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

However, the duo had told viewers earlier that they could not vote for the star when deciding which celebrity should take part in the next bushtucker trial.

Meanwhile, Gemma Collins’ manager said she wouldn’t get the full fee after leaving the show early.

Gemma Wheatley told BBC Radio 5 live: “The way the contract is positioned, she gets a percentage for a certain number of days.

“But absolutely she won’t get the full fee and it would be very unfair if she did. She hasn’t done her time and she shouldn’t receive her full fee and she’s well aware of that. She will receive a small proportion of it.”
