JACQUELINE Jossa was allowed to call her husband from the jungle after having a meltdown over his alleged infidelity.
The unprecedented move came after the I’m A Celebrity star threatened to quit.
She was upset after Rak-Su singer Myles Stephenson, 28, told her he believed her husband Dan Osborne cheated on her with his ex Gabby Allen.
In scenes not broadcast on I'm A Celebrity, Jacqueline, 27, said she did not want to continue without talking to the dad of her two kids.
Show bosses allowed her to temporarily exit the Australian jungle to leave Dan, 28, a voicemail about the claims.
Former The Only Way Is Essex star Dan was then allowed to send a voicemail back.
Producers decided that as long as they did not speak directly it would not give EastEnders actress Jacqueline any unfair advantage in the ITV show.
A jungle source revealed: “Jacqueline was beside herself after Myles told her what he believed.
“She was nothing short of hysterical. Jacqueline has been fantastic to watch so producers really wanted to avoid a situation where she walked out.
“But equally they were very conscious about a duty of care towards her and had to consider her mental state.
“After allowing her to leave the voicemail, and letting Dan leave one back, she was offered the chance to remain in the show and accepted.”
Dan and ex-Love Island star Gabby, 27, were pictured cosying up on a yacht in Spain last year.
Jacqueline was pregnant at the time and the couple had a temporary break with Dan moving out of the family home.
Gabby’s ex-boyfriend Marcel Sommerville accused her of bedding Dan during the trip.
Dan moved back in with Jacqueline to help her out after the birth of daughter Mia in June last year and to give their two-year marriage another go.

They split again in March amid claims that Dan had snogged another Love Island star, Alexandra Cane, 28, behind his wife’s back. Dan denied it but Jacqueline threw him out. They later reconciled.
Last weekend Dan begged viewers to stop voting for Jacqueline to do Bush Tucker trials after she broke down in tears at the prospect of facing another one.
Dan is now travelling to Australia with other family members.
