Owen Warner filmed a 'Hollyoaks' scene when he was in Australia.

The 23-year-old star was recently Down Under to take part in the latest series of 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!', on which he finished second, and soon after he came out of the jungle he was asked to shoot a segment via video.

He said: "It was a little bit. I got taken downstairs and they gave me a script and were like, 'Learn this,' and I was like, 'What?'

"I was there doing a FaceTime and it took me a while to learn that."

Owen has since returned to the Hollyoaks set, which is based in Liverpool, and he has been a "bit rusty" on set since he got back from the jungle.

He said: "I was a bit rusty when I came back. Usually I'm quite good at learning lines.

"I'll read a page once or twice and it's lodged in my brain.

"But I came back, read it once or twice and it wasn't sticking. I was like, 'Mate, have I lost that?' "

Owen went without his mobile phone for three weeks on the ITV show, but he was in no rush to turn it back on when he had finished on the programme, admitting he didn't even turn his gadget on until after the mammoth 24-hour flight back to the UK.

Speaking on 'This Morning', he added: "After you leave your head is scrambled. It's all fuzzy, you don't know what's going on, you're carted here and there.

"I didn't turn my phone on until I got back to England. Real life was too much. I was not ready to deal with that phone straight away.

"I had a lot of catching up to do."
