Owen Warner, currently appearing on I’m A Celebrity, has been mocked by a co-star for having “no common sense”.
The Hollyoaks actor, 23, appears as Romeo Nightingale in the Channel 4 show, having played him since 2018.
But in his new role as an ITV reality show contestant, Owen seemingly tickled some viewers unwittingly.
Several of those watching at home took to social media to hail him for being “unintentionally funny”.
And among those praising his sense of humour was a Hollyoaks cast mate who fondly teased their pal, too.
Owen Warner ‘mocked’ on I’m A Celebrity
Former Corrie regular Lucy-Jo Hudson gave Owen her support on Instagram in the moments following the 2022 series’ opening episode.
She plays Romeo’s mum Donna-Marie in Hollyoaks.
Poking fun, she took a cheeky swipe at on her onscreen’s son lack of “common sense”.
She told her followers: “Well I expected nothing less… Absolutely smashed it tonight in @imacelebrity.”
‘No common sense whatsoever’
Lucy-Jo continued: “He’s already coming across exactly how I thought, his lovely, genuine self! Who is an absolute sweetheart, and an old school gent… he’s also got no common sense whatsoever… which you will have seen tonight and I know he won’t mind me saying that, because he laughs at himself!”
The actress also promised viewers will be very entertained by the soap hunk.
“His one liners will have you in stitches! You will all love him,” she wrote.
Continue to be yourself and everyone will just fall in love with you.
Lucy continued: “I’m so excited to watch your journey on this mega show! I know you’re gonna smash it. Let’s all get behind him.
“Good luck Owen, continue to be yourself and everyone will just fall in love with you. Proud of you, your mama xxx.”
