Owen Warner's Net Worth Might Surprise I'm A Celeb Fans
The actor struggled financially before landing his first major gig.
During the 2022 series of ITV’s I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, actor Owen Warner managed to win the hearts of viewers with his endearing charm. Outside of the Autralian jungle, Warner is better known as Romeo Nightinglae, the character he has played on the Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks for the past four years.
Speaking to his fellow I’m a Celeb campmates while on the show, Warner shared the story of how he first joined the long-running soap, revealing that he thought he’d “ruined” his chances of being cast after a tricky first audition.
“I sat down and I saw my agent calling me, I answered it and she said, ‘I just want to say I'm really, really sorry… but you're going to have to free up some time because you've got it,’” Warner recalled. “In the space of a month I got signed by my agency and then I got Hollyoaks.”
Warner also disclosed that, prior to landing a regular spot on the popular daytime series, his bank account was “heavily overdrawn” and he lived on 40 pence “chicken-in-a-tin” meals. “When this [Hollyoaks] came through I was like, ‘s***, this is literally what could pull me out of this,’” he added.
Emerging from the ITV reality series as a fan favourite, curious viewers likely have more questions about the actor’s life away from the Aussie rainforest. For example, who is the Hollyoaks star currently dating, and what is Owen Warner’s net worth?
