Andy Whyment has said conversations about Brexit were “banned” in the I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! camp.
The Coronation Street star came second to winner Jacqueline Jossa in the live final on Sunday night.
Appearing on ITV’s Good Morning Britain alongside fellow campmate Kate Garraway, they were reassured by Piers Morgan: “Nothing has changed in Brexit, the world has still gone nuts.
“You haven’t really missed much, but great to have you back.”
Whyment said: “That was banned in camp, that word was banned.”
Morgan then joked “I wish I’d been in that camp” to avoid the news cycle.
Whyment, who is best known for his portrayal of Kirk Sutherland on the ITV soap, added that it had been a “mad old day” since the winner was announced, and he had only been given half an hour to take a shower after leaving the jungle.
Garraway, who came fourth, said: “I’m so pleased I did it, it was unbelievable.
“You know when you watch the show and think ‘That looks really hard, I could never do it’, and it was really hard and I couldn’t really do it!”
Morgan said that he was “so glad” that his Good Morning Britain colleague had taken part in the show “as everyone got to see what you’re really like.”

EastEnders star Jossa was emotional as she was crowned the winner during Sunday night’s live final and thanked her family and the voting public for their support.
She was greeted by husband Dan Osborne, who later shared an Instagram tribute to Jossa, writing: “Words can not [sic] describe how proud I am of this woman!
“She absolutely smashed it from day 1 and deserves this sooo much!!”
