I’m A Celebrity 2022: ‘There is quite a lot of anxiety’: Owen Warner and Seann Walsh open up about their mental health… and emotional viewers are all saying the same thing

Fans of I’m A Celebrity were left emotional after watching Owen Warner and Seann Walsh open up about their mental health and previous mistakes on Saturday night’s episode.

The pair headed to the pool area to wash off after getting critters and gunk on them during the Partners in Grime Bushtucker Trial.

But as the conversation turned to how the pair were coping in the jungle so far, Seann asked Owen if he had been finding the time difficult.

The Hollyoaks actor, 23, admitted that he had done but was feeling better – and flipped the question back to the comedian.

‘Owen, are you finding this difficult? The jungle adventure?’ Sean asked, and Owen said: ‘I was, but now not so much. Why, are you Sean?’ 

Sean said: ‘For me there is quite a lot of anxiety during the day. If I don’t know what’s coming, I do not like it. I get really panicked.’

Owen asked: ‘Is that always?’, and Seann replied: ‘Oh god. That’s why I pay a woman a weekly fee to help me with!’

The actor agreed that it was good to talk about his feelings to a professional, adding: ‘It’s good though, doing therapy.

‘Like I always say to my mates, I fully recommend it even if you think you’re sound. Like it’s so so good to sit with someone, vent. Really helps you sort your head out. And figure out what’s going on and why it’s going on.’

Later speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Owen said: ‘Something about being in here has really taught me is it’s like, wear your heart on your sleeve because someone is most likely feeling the same.

‘And that’s like something I will take with me forever, now I usually keep my feelings close to my chest, but if you just talk about them most of the time, someone can relate to you.’

Fans shared their emotion at the heartfelt conversation between the two men.

One user wrote: ‘That was such a lovely conversation. Seann opening up about his anxiety.

‘It’s SO important, especially for men to know they can open up & ask for help.’

Similarly, one other wrote: ‘Great conversation between these 2, Owen is an amazing camp mate.’

Sean also made reference to his ‘horrific’ experience following the Strictly Come Dancing cheating scandal.

Back in 2018 when the comedian took part in the series with professional partner Katya Jones, the pair were snapped kissing outside a pub – but Seann was in a long term relationship – and Katya was married to fellow pro dancer Neil Jones.

Both of their relationships subsequently ended.

‘Look, I just had such a horrific experience the last time I did something like this and then coming back… This is absolutely wonderful but it’s brought that back.’

Owen gave his support: ‘What’s good though, now you got a second chance to deal with anything. It’s like when you’re in a game, and like you die and you go back to the first level, it’s s**t. But I know how to do those levels. ‘

Speaking to the Bush Telegraph, Sean said: ‘He’s such a wise young man and he’s really articulate and I think he is really emotionally intelligent.’

‘Anyone who looks at someone’s past, that’s on them,’ Owen added.

‘Looking back on my life, there’s a whole path of mistakes and that. The future is going to be full of more mistakes.’
