Today's (December 10) episode of Loose Women saw Emily Atack hailed as a "great role model".

Emily finished in second place during this year's series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, garnering a big new fanbase in the process, and clearly, she managed to really impress the ITV show's panel, too.

With all four panellists in agreement, Emily was praised for her representation of "normal women" who discuss their insecurities instead of looking to make headlines and show off their looks.

Jane Moor noted: "What we're seeing is a normal woman... I think sometimes we become so divorced from reality."

"She was always bouncing around and totally carefree," Andrea McLean chipped in. "She was wonderful."

Coleen Nolan also found time to gush over Emily's attitude, admitting that her "heart broke" when the star was left in tears over accepting herself without being covered in make-up or fake tan.

Elsewhere, Emily appeared on video-chat all the way from Australia during Lorraine today.

She reflected on how new King of the Jungle Harry Redknapp said he didn't recognise her outside the show, saying: "Do you know, it's so funny, we're seeing each other for the first time in actual clothes and we don't smell like cockroaches and fire. I think my hair still smells a bit like fire.

"Everyone's beautiful and smells amazing. I'm looking at John Barrowman going, 'You look like John Barrowman!'".

Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV.
