SMB College Group’s alumnus, Owen Warner, is officially one of the nine famous faces in the 2022 'I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!' Jungle!
After a three-year break, the show has returned to Australia for this year’s series, with SMB College Group alumnus, Owen Warner, appearing alongside fellow celebrities Boy George, Sue Cleaver, Chris Moyles, Jill Scott MBE, Mike Tindall, Scarlette Douglas, Charlene White, and Babatunde Aléshé – with more exciting names yet to be announced.
Just days into the show, Owen is already getting stuck into challenges, trying mud crabs and kangaroo rump, and of course, making everyone laugh doing so.
Whilst studying at SMB College Group’s Melton Campus, Owen achieved a Distinction in his Level 3 Acting qualification, quickly going on to land his role as Romeo in Hollyoaks in 2018. Owen also starred in many roles at the College’s Melton Theatre during his time studying at the college, including Cinderella, 1984, Hamlet, and Rock of Ages, to name a few.
Section Manager of Performing Arts and Melton Theatre Manager, Arnie Breen, said “Owen was a great lad and a very hard worker in both his written and practical work.
“We always hoped he would achieve some success in the industry and we're all delighted when he got the part on Hollyoaks. On that programme, he has truly shown the ability and star quality we always knew he had - and now we get to see him on TV again on I’m a Celebrity, which will hopefully raise his profile and enable him to achieve even bigger and better things in his career within the entertainment industry!
He added, “It just goes to show to our current and future students what you can achieve with the right training, hard work, and a little luck. Don’t worry Owen - we won’t be voting for you to complete the bush tucker trials, but we will be voting for you to be the next King of the Jungle!”
