Jack Osbourne made an emotional FaceTime call to his mum Sharon as she finally broke her silence on his I’m A Celebrity journey.
The TV star, 40, had spent three weeks in the jungle before becoming the seventh campmate to leave in a double eviction, with Lisa Riley following as the eighth.
His time on the ITV series comes just months after the passing of his father, Ozzy Osbourne.
During the I’m A Celebrity: Coming Out show, which airs Saturday and follows the stars as they exit camp and reunite with loved ones, Jack was seen FaceTiming his mum.
Answering the call, a delighted Sharon said: ‘Oh my lord, how are you? I miss you so ‘effing’ much!’
Jack joked he was finally eating something ‘with flavour,’ before he laughed: ‘I don’t know why I’m eating beans!’

Sharon added: ‘When you said you liked that alligator tail, I’m like oh my god.’
‘It was really good,’ Jack insisted, with Sharon beaming: ‘Oh, Jack!’
Speaking about his campmates, he told Sharon: ‘Everyone was so awesome, I made some good friends. I’m so glad I did it.’
Sharon replied: ‘I’m so glad you did it too darling.’
In the car on the way to the hotel, Jack was also seen opening up to his wife Aree about his time in the jungle.
He said: ‘It’s been a hard year. I didn’t go in there to learn. For me it was more about just being with myself.
‘And it was difficult at times, there were times… Just to be away from everything to continue digesting it… it’s been really, I think, good for me.’
It comes after Jack shared a kiss with his pregnant wife Aree on Tuesday as they enjoyed a post-I’m A Celebrity holiday in Australia with their daughter Maple.

The couple confirmed they were expecting their second child together last week and that they had told his late father Ozzy he would be a grandfather again before his death.
Enjoying some downtime, following Jack’s stint in the jungle, they relaxed in the sun and gave an insight into their trip on Instagram.
The pair smiled for a selfie by the pool before sharing a kiss, with Jack later posing beside two-year-old Maple.
He captioned the update: ‘Still in the jungle ~ ish.’
Jack, who is already a dad to four children, was eliminated from I’m A Celebrity on Friday night, with AngryGinge being crowned as the winner on Sunday.
After being reunited with his wife Aree, 34, Jack announced the couple were expecting their second child together.
In heartwarming news, Jack said he told his late father, rocker Ozzy, he would be a grandad again before his death in July.
Jack said: ‘It’s awesome. It’s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing — probably in that kind of “full cycle” category, in a weird way.

‘It’s very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness.’
Jack continued to The Sun: ‘It’s been easy for me. It’s been a lot harder for my wife! We’re super-excited. It was sort of planned, I should say. It was maybe a little earlier than expected.
He added they had wanted more children together and they fell pregnant ‘miraculously’.
Viewers watched Jack reunite with Aree and their young daughter Maple in sweet scenes on Friday night before he was voted off.
Jack said how Ozzy would have been ‘very supportive about my journey in the jungle’ and that his entire family is proud of his achievement.
Expectant mother Aree first met Jack on a dating app in 2019 before secretly marrying him in 2023.
As well as his daughter Maple with Aree, Jack has Pearl, 13, Andy, ten, and Minnie, seven, with his ex-wife Lisa Stelly, who he split from in 2018, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’.
Earlier this week, the Daily Mail’s exclusive pictures showed beaming Aree and her growing baby bump before the couple confirmed the news.
A source who knows Sharon, 73, said that she was ‘in need of a smile’ following Ozzy’s death from a heart attack in July aged 79.
Sharon is heartbroken at his death, which came much earlier than she expected.
The source said: ‘Sharon is devastated, she is so sad about Ozzy’s death so any news like this would bring a much needed smile to her face.
‘She adores her grandchildren and should another be coming along that would be wonderful for her.’
In the Jungle, Jack opened up to his campmates about his father’s death, telling them: ‘It was definitely a shock. We knew he was sick for a while but we didn’t know it would be that quick.’
He became tearful when speaking to his close friend and campmate, comedian Eddie Kadi, as he admitted he missed Ozzy: ‘Just his energy. He had this force, so hard to describe, like he swallowed the galaxy and didn’t know what to do with it.’
I’m A Celebrity…Coming Out airs this Saturday at 9.05pm on ITV1 & STV. The episode is also available on ITVX from 7pm on November 10.
