I'm a Celebrity star Sue Cleaver has shared the secret sign she used while in the jungle to communicate with her family.

The Coronation Street star took part in the recent series of the ITV reality show, where she was the third to be eliminated from the camp.

However, speaking on last night's (December 1) Coming Out special, Sue spoke with her husband Brian about a subtle move she made on camera that was a message to her family.

"It was good that you did the secret sign to the grandkids," Brian said, before Sue revealed that she patted her chest a few times throughout the show.

"Did they see it?" she asked, before viewers were shown a montage of the moments.

While the actress's time on the show was short-lived, a particular highlight of her time was the amazing story she told campmates about connecting with her birth mother.

This year's series was won by former Lioness Jill Scott, with the Coming Out show revealing her first words to her partner Shelly Unitt were: "Oh my god, I’m so in shock."

She later said after her stint in the jungle: "To go from three weeks in the jungle to be in a gold Hummer with Prosecco, a flat white and an egg bacon and cheese muffin. It’s like two contrasting worlds, I don’t think life could get any better."

Following Jill's win, some of her co-stars praised her, with runner-up Owen Warner saying: "I feel like I don’t need to say why Jill has won. Jill won because she is Jill, she’s got endless love to give and we just love her to pieces."

I'm a Celebrity will return next year on ITV1 and ITVX.
