I’m A Celebrity: Owen and Seann chat mental health

On tonight’s I’m A Celebrity, Owen and Seann were chatting down by the pool while doing their washing.

Seann asked Owen if he was struggling doing the show.

Owen said that he was but he isn’t now, which prompted Seann to admit he was having weekly therapy sessions.

Owen then declared: “It’s good though, doing therapy.

“I’d say to any of my mates, I fully recommend it. Even if you think you’re sound, sitting with someone to vent and just sort your head out and figure out what’s going on and why it’s going on.”

Owen added: “I usually keep my feelings close to my chest, but if you talk about them most of the time someone can relate to you.”

Seann’s ‘horrific’ experience

Seann then opened up about the last time he did a reality show, explaining to Owen it was a “horrific” experience.

Of course, he was talking about Strictly Come Dancing, when he was pictured snogging dance partner Katya Jones.

His career crumbled as a result.

But Owen had some words of wisdom.

“What’s good, now you’ve got a second chance at it,” he said, before giving Seann an analogy.

“It’s like when you die on a game and get a chance to go back and it’s like, I know how to do those levels,” he explained.

He then added to Seann: “Anyone who looks at someone’s path and judges them, that’s on them.”

Fans hail Owen their King of the Jungle

Viewers at home loved that someone as young as Owen was speaking about mental health on such a public stage.

And, if they weren’t Owen fans before, then they mot certainly are after his behaviour tonight.

“Owen and Seann talking about how good therapy is. Feels so good to see someone so young like Wwen talking about male mental health,” said one.

“Owen is a darling. Completely misjudged him when he came in!” another admitted.

“Owen is such a sweetheart,” another agreed.
