How can Kerry Katona do it. Didn't she do it before the year that Jordan and Peter Andre were in it.

ACTOR Antony Cotton is taking a break from Coronation Street to appear in I’m A Celeb.
Antony, 36, who plays gay barman Sean Tully, has recently signed a six-figure golden handcuffs contract with the ITV soap.
He has been promised top story lines and has agreed to stay until 2013. But he made it a condition that he could leave Weatherfield to try his luck in the jungle.
Show insider told the Daily Star Sunday: “Antony loves I’m A Celebrity and he has wanted to do it for a long time.
“It is the first time an actor has been given time off to appear in I’m a Celebrity. He is very excited.”
Antony – a trained singer and dancer – has had scores of offers to appear in West End shows but he said: “I love working on Coronation Street, it’s the best job in the world.”

Freddie Starr has reportedly agreed to appear in I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.
The 68-year-old comedian will be the highest-paid contestant, earning up to £250,000 to partake in this year's series of the jungle reality show, The Mirror reports.
"Freddie hasn't been in the spotlight for a little while, but ITV are convinced he's going to be absolutely brilliant," a source claimed.
"He has met so many different people and had so many amazing experiences. He'll have some great tales to tell."
Starr was infamously accused of eating a friend's hamster in 1986.
"That story is absolutely legendary. Producers just can't wait to test him out with some really gruesome meals," the insider said.
"If he can stomach some of the horrible creepy crawlies that they plan to serve up then he really will cement his reputation."
Dannii Minogue, her boyfriend Kris Smith, Kerry Katona, Alex Reid and Jedward are among those also linked to the 2011 lineup.
I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here will be "tougher" for contestants this year, according to the Daily Star
"Things are getting tougher this year. The bush buffet will turn even the strongest stomach, with the camel blood possibly the worst ever item dished up. It certainly won't be a picnic for them," a separate source alleged.
MOUTHY Benidorm star Crissy Rock is heading to the I'm A Celebrity jungle as this year's battleaxe.
The Scouse comic — who played hotel manager Janey York in the ITV Costa comedy — heads out to Oz next week after bagging a £60,000 deal.
Bosses plumped for the outspoken star in a bid to inject some fireworks into the reality show, which will again be fronted by Ant and Dec.
An insider said: "Crissy might not be the most famous woman in the world, but she's got a mouth on her. She's not afraid to shoot from the lip and has seen some things in her life."
Earlier this year the blonde actress, 53, revealed she had overcome depression, self-harm, an abusive marriage, alcoholism, cancer and bankruptcy.

X FACTOR stalwart Sinitta is heading into the jungle for the new series of I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!
Simon Cowell's ex-girlfriend has signed a £30,000 deal to appear on the ITV1 show starting next month.
Cowell helped get her the gig after she missed out on a role in his US X Factor.
The So Macho singer, 43, joins celebs including The Only Way Is Essex's Mark Wright and Benidorm actress Crissy Rock.
An insider said: "Simon helped get her the show. She loves being on TV and she should be good value and a bit of a mother figure. She knows all of Simon's secrets so producers will be hoping she lets some slip."
It will be Sinitta's second big reality show after becoming the first contestant to be voted off 2010's Dancing On Ice.
Sinitta, who once dated Brad Pitt, helped Louis Walsh at The X Factor judges' houses stage.
She attends all the live shows and appears on The Xtra Factor.
Her Australian jungle trip means she will miss most of The X Factor's final stages.
But the insider said: "I'm a Celebrity ends the week before The X Factor final so she should still make it back in time for it."

FORMER EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy is hoping to put her torrid year behind her — by joining I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
Natalie, 28 — Sonia Jackson in the BBC1 soap — was attacked by fiancé Adam Cottrell, 31, in front of baby daughter Eliza in May.
The couple split soon after, with Cottrell being slapped with a restraining order after pleading guilty to assault. The actress has since gone on to rebuild her life — and friends say a stint in the jungle could be just what she needs.
Natalie, who has shed three stone and dropped from a size 16 to a 10 since her split, is in talks about joining the Australia-based show. But pals say she is anxious about leaving year-old Eliza. One said: "Natalie is very keen, but does have some worries about childcare for Eliza, who dotes on her mum.
"The show lasts for a month on the other side of the world, so that is a big consideration. But she really hopes these obstacles can be overcome."
Natalie would join The Only Way Is Essex star Mark Wright and singer Sinitta for the series later this month.Others lined up include Corrie's Antony Cotton and comedian Freddie Starr.

Arg is quoted by 3am as saying: "Guess what? I've just been told that Dougie is definitely going to be on I'm a Celebrity."

Anthony Cotton has insisted that his decision to take part in I'm A Celebrity does not mean he is leaving Coronation Street.
The soap star was confirmed as one of the ten celebrities taking part in the ITV1 reality show this afternoon (Wednesday), sparking speculation that he may be leaving his role as Sean Tully in the soap.
However, Cotton denied that he has any plans to exit the show, saying: "Coronation Street is very special and I love being in the soap.
"I would never have done this without the blessing of Corrie. They have allowed this to happen. I have a lovely house and job and I am really happy. If anything else happens, then that is a bonus."
Cotton added that one of the toughest parts of heading to the jungle would be missing out on his co-star Katherine Kelly's (Becky McDonald) final scenes and possibly the show's send-off for late actress Betty Driver.
"Katherine is filming her last scene and then having her leaving do. I am sad I won't be there for that," he said.
"They are also going to plan a send-off for Betty. I am keeping everything crossed I will be there for that."
Cotton has had therapy to help him with fears of flying, heights and claustrophobia ahead of his stint in the jungle.

Shame :(
Freddie Starr may have to withdraw from appearing on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here, it has been reported.
The 68-year-old comic has failed to organise his insurance cover in time for the start of the series, according to The Sun.
"Without insurance, contestants are not allowed to compete," a source claimed.
"Because of his well-documented health problems, getting insurance has taken far longer than anyone thought.
"Bosses hope to get it sorted but if it doesn't happen soon it will be the end of his jungle dream."
Starr underwent a quadruple heart bypass operation last year.
Former Fun House star Pat Sharp is on standby for the jungle reality show.

Oh god how long is this rubbish on for this year. They're really scrapping the bottom of the barrel with trying to find celebs. It's time to axe the show.
Freddie Starr has finally entered the Australian jungle for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.
The comedian's entrance had been delayed due to issues with securing insurance for him, but he has now joined his fellow celebrities including The Only Way Is Essex star Mark Wright, Hart To Hart legend Stefanie Powers and McFly's Dougie Poynter.
The stars, also including Coronation Street's Antony Cotton, ex-Emmerdale actress Lorraine Chase and The Real Hustle's Jessica-Jane Clement, had earlier met each other at a £4m mansion on Australia's Gold Coast.
Olympic star Fatima Whitbread, Benidorm actress Crissy Rock and racing hero Willie Carson completed the lineup at the house before Ant and Dec arrived and informed the celebrities that they would shortly be travelling to their next destination by helicopter.
They spent their first night in a cave in a jungle clearing, where they had to light a fire, prepare a meal of rice and beans and sleep on groundsheets in the cave. However, some of the contestants refused to sleep in the cave, with Fatima leading the group to spend the night outside instead.
The following morning, the group split as they made their way to camp, with half (Antony, Mark, Crissy, Lorraine and Fatima) skydiving into the Australian bush and the other half (Stefanie, Dougie, Willie and Jess) canoeing in.
Crissy, who told Mark she "felt physically sick" at the thought of skydiving, decided against taking the plunge, becoming the first celebrity in 11 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here to refuse.
Willie paired with Jess to canoe down the river to camp, while Stefanie paired with Dougie. The latter duo capsized their canoe immediately and were drenched after falling into the river. Stefanie later realised she had a tick behind her right ear, which had to be removed by medics.
Once the celebrities arrived in camp, they had to complete a Scales of Justice trial and were joined by Freddie Starr. All ten camp mates went head to head in their teams to win food for the evening, dangling in seats over the top of two tanks filled with slime, offal and fish guts.
The challenge was to get two stars from boxes in front of them, which contained mealworms, yabbies, crickets, cockroaches and eels, and pass a key attached to the stars to the team mate next to them. The first team to open all boxes would be pronounced winners and the losing team would be dunked in the tank.
Watch I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here tonight at 9pm on ITV1.

Freddie Starr has been admittted to hospital, found this on the Daily Mail website:-
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star Freddie Starr has been taken to hospital with what's thought to be a severe allergic reaction.
Doctors were called to check on the comedian, 68, after he started feeling sick following the Greasy Spoon Bushtucker Trial.
An ITV spokesman said: 'Freddie Starr was taken unwell in the jungle. He was immediately attended to by on-site medics and taken to hospital where he was assessed by doctors.
Can you blame him for being allergic? Freddie Starr was hospitalised following a Bushtucker Trial on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
'He will remain in hospital overnight as a precaution, and further tests continue. However, Freddie is in great spirits and keeping nursing staff entertained.’

Freedie Starr has withdrawn from I'm A Celebrity following his jungle health scare.
The 68-year-old comedian was taken to a hospital on the Gold Coast yesterday after a suspected allergic reaction to something he had eaten in the jungle.
As part of a Bushtucker Trial eating challenge with TOWIE's Mark Wright, Starr ate dishes including turkey testes, pig's anus and a fermented egg.
In a statement, ITV said: "Producers of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here have decided that Freddie Starr won't return to live in the jungle.
"Freddie has been a terrific contestant. His Bushtucker Trial is one of the stand-out moments in the history of the show and we wish him all the very best."
Earlier this year, Starr successfully underwent a quadruple heart bypass. Despite his health problems, the comic said before he entered the jungle that he felt confident he would be able to last the course.
Sinitta and Fun House star Pat Sharp were revealed as new jungle camp additions at the end of Monday night's (November 14) show.
I'm A Celebrity returns on Wednesday (November 15) at 8.30pm on ITV1.
I don't think Freddie Starr should have been allowed in the jungle in the first place, he just didn't seem at all well from the start.

Freddie Starr has been forced to drop out of I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! after being advised by medics, in case his illness flares up again.
The comic, 68, had to be rushed to hospital after suffering what was thought to be an allergic reaction shortly after eating a foul meal of fermented egg and a camel toe.
Disappointed Starr said he felt "sick" not to complete his stint in the Australian jungle but had to respect the opinions of doctors.
"I wanted to be there until the very end but there's no use crying over spilt milk," he said.
Starr, who has had bypass surgery, had been undergoing tests after he was taken ill two hours after a stomach-churning challenge.
He had won the "greasy spoon" bushtucker trial after chomping through mice tails, a pig's anus and turkey testicles among the grim items, while fellow contestant Mark Wright looked on aghast.
Doctors have not been able to pinpoint the exact cause of the apparent allergic reaction.
After being told he could not continue with the ITV1 show, Starr said: "I was sorry to hear the news about what the doctors said - that I was allergic to something, to play it safe and best for me not to go back in.
"ITV's got a duty of care and it's only right that the doctors advise them to keep me away from the jungle. It may not happen again but we'll never know.
"They couldn't find anything wrong with me physically. They checked me over and couldn't find anything wrong with me, but told the TV people it's a risk and that I could be allergic to something in there - and that duty of care ITV has, has to be respected."
Neighbours star Ian Smith has reportedly agreed to make a cameo in I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.
The 73-year-old, best known for playing Harold Bishop in the Australian soap, will join the reality show next week.
According to The Sun, the actor will set the jungle stars a set of challenges, without performing any himself.
"Ian is a lot of fun and will bring some real Aussie charm to the show," an insider said. "He can't wait to get started with filming."
David Walliams's ex Emily Scott arrived in camp on Friday possibly providing a love interest for TOWIE's Mark Wright.
I'm a Celebrity continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1.
Stefanie Powers has become the first contestant to be voted out of this year's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.
The Hart to Hart actress received the fewest number of votes to save from the viewers ahead of Lorraine Chase.

Powers was up for eviction from the jungle alongside her fellow Orange Team campmates, who were defeated in the special immunity trial.
She was voted out of the show over Chase, Antony Cotton, Willie Carson, Sinitta and Fatima Whitbread.
"Thank you so much, that's fabulous," she said after hearing the results.
Speaking to Ant & Dec after leaving the jungle, Powers said that she was "happy" to be evicted, having helped to raise awareness for her lung cancer charity.
Asked about how she was able to remain so calm during tasks, she replied: "I'm not afraid of the bugs, they didn't bother me. I had looked at your show on YouTube, so I knew what was going to come."
Of her fellow campmate Sinitta's trial struggles, she added: "She's made tremendous strides, she actually sleeps without putting herself under her entire canopy."
All of the remaining campmates are now up for eviction from the jungle for tomorrow's (Friday's) public vote.
I'm a Celebrity continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1
Sinitta has been booted out of the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! jungle.
The 80s chart star was kicked out of the contest after receiving the fewest public votes.
She said she had "faced her fears" during her 14-day spell in the Australian jungle.
When presenters Ant and Dec told her the news she hugged fellow campers and told them: "I love you guys," adding that she was "so excited" to leave the ITV1 show.
"To leave when I'm actually starting to love it is such a great feeling," she said.
"I wanted what happened to happen, to face my fears and not be afraid of everything. I was starting to really love it."
She said that all three trials she participated in on the show were "equally as bad" adding that her fears were genuine - despite allegations from fellow camp members that she might be faking them.
Sinitta told Ant and Dec that DJ Pat Sharp doesn't understand the other contestants' jungle worries, adding: "He wants to win, he's not afraid of anything so when we all start fussing about stuff to him it's like, 'Oh come on, it's only a bug'. He doesn't really understand people's deep-rooted fears."
She said she wanted actress Crissy Rock or The Only Way Is Essex personality Mark Wright to win the competition.
Wright is the bookies favourite to be crowned king of the jungle at the end of the contest. Bookmaker William Hill has the Towie star as 5/4 to win the competition followed by McFly's Dougie Poynter at 4/1.
Fatima Whitbread and Pat Sharp have landed in the bottom two on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!.
The pair polled the fewest public votes and will now battle for survival in a special bushtucker trial to determine who will stay in the jungle.
The loser of the challenge will leave I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! immediately, becoming the third contestant to leave the show.
'So Macho' singer Sinitta became the second celebrity to be voted out of the jungle last night, following Stefanie Powers's exit on Thursday.
Sharp won eight stars for camp during his second bushtucker trial earlier this week.
"It could not have been more horrendous - it was very, very, very, very difficult, like you can't imagine, it nearly killed me," he said of the challenge.
The Fun House host left the jungle after finishing in the bottom two of the public vote and losing a bushtucker trial to his rival Fatima Whitbread.
The pair faced a challenge called 'Fill Your Face - Extreme', which required them to endure having various critters poured into a perspex box on their head.
Sharp successfully stared down meal worms, crickets, scorpions and snakes, while Whitbread managed to face soldier crabs, spiders and 7,500 cockroaches.
The challenge was halted while medics removed a cockroach that had become lodged in Whitbread's nose.
With neither celebrity giving up, hosts Ant & Dec announced that Sharp and Whitbread would compete in a tiebreaker round. The first person to remove three stars from a concoction of mealworms and slime would be declared the winner.
"Look, I am up against the toughest woman in the world and I don't just mean in sport," Sharp said of the former Olympian. "Living with her is just like living with Rambo. No offence. She is tough and I am going to try my best."
However, Sharp did indeed fail to outperform Whitbread in the final round and was eliminated from the show.
Speaking after her victory, Whitbread declared: "When it is head to head you just have to get in there and work until you get to the end. There is no point stopping."
Lorraine Chase was also eliminated from the show tonight, after receiving the least number of public votes.
Sinitta and Stefanie Powers were the first to be voted out of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! this week.
Jessica-Jane Clement has become the next contestant to be voted off I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.
The model received the fewest votes to save from the viewers, losing out to jockey Willie Carson.
She cheered for her fiancé as she heard the result, shouting: "Lee, I'm coming!"
Shortly afterwards, she told Ant & Dec: "I can't wait to see my fiancé, and eat lots of chocolate brownies."
Speaking about whether she thought she would last this long, she said: "Not at all, I thought I was going to walk after the first two days. It was so overwhelming, I was really upset."
On her trials in the jungle, she said: "The only thing I don't like is spiders - I love snakes and rats. I've had a great time, nothing scared me."
Asked about her favourite campmate, she said: I love Willie. You can say anything to him, I love listening to his stories, he made me feel so comfortable in camp."
Lorraine Chase and Pat Sharp were both eliminated from the series in yesterday's episode.
I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here continues tomorrow (November 28) at 8.30pm on ITV1.
Peter Andre will revisit the I'm a Celebrity jungle for one day, ITV has announced.
The 'Unconditional' singer will return to the show, on which he was a contestant in 2004, on Wednesday night - confirming previous reports.
Producers have given campmates a 'Day of Treats', beginning with a 'danceathon' to Abba's 'Dancing Queen', folk song 'Cotton-Eyed Joe' and Andre's own 'Mysterious Girl'.
The 38-year-old will then surprise the stars by popping out of a box.
Celebrities will be provided with instruments including bongos, tambourines and a guitar, and given one hour to compose an original song to play to Andre.
After dinner, a quiz will decide which contestant wins a romantic hot tub party with the Here 2 Help reality TV star.
I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here continues tomorrow night from 8.30pm on ITV1
I believe Katie Price is desperate to get back into the jungle too, maybe her books and fashion ranges are not selling enough :rolleyes:
Emily Scott has become the latest contestant to leave the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here jungle.
The Australian glamour model received the least amount of votes to save from the viewers, losing out to athlete Fatima Whitbread.
The news was greeted by a sombre atmosphere, with Scott quietly hugging her fellow campmates, before being interviewed by Ant & Dec.
She said: "I feel amazing, I've had the most incredible time in there. I wanted to stay as long as possible, I'm proud of myself."
On her late arrival in the jungle, she said: "It was pretty scary, I was nervous but excited. But everyone was so welcoming, they made me feel comfortable."
Speaking about her closeness with Mark Wright, she explained: "He's really sweet, I enjoyed getting to know him more. We were quite flirty, it was nice to get away from everyone [at the trials]. He's a really nice guy."
When asked whether she fancied Wright, she simply responded: "Yeah." She added: "I do want to go to Essex, I'm sure we'll catch up."
Scott tipped either Willie Carson or Fatima Whitbread to win the series.
Crissy Rock has become the latest campmate to leave the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here jungle.
The Benidorm actress received the least amount of votes to save from the viewers, losing out to Mark Wright.
She jumped for joy upon hearing the result, before telling Ant & Dec: "I'm sad, but I've had a lovely time. The pinnacle was seeing Peter Andre yesterday."
Talking about how she had lasted so long in the jungle, she said: "I'm shocked. I was in a coma for the first week. I've had the best laugh of my life, but it wasn't meant to be."
On Andre's arrival at camp yesterday, she said: "I'm out today, but if I was out yesterday [and missed him] I would have been devastated."
She also picked Willie Carson as her winner, adding: "He's been an absolute sport. From day one he's wanted to go home, but he's still in the running."
Carson, Wright, Antony Cotton, Fatima Whitbread and Dougie Poynter remain in contention to be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle.
I'm a Celebrity continues tomorrow night at 8.30pm on ITV1.

John Thomson has blasted his former Coronation Street co-star Antony Cotton, describing him as a troublemaker.
The comic had an outburst on Twitter on Monday night (November 28) about the soap actor, who he starred alongside until as recently as last year.
Watching Cotton's behaviour in I'm a Celebrity, Thompson wrote: "Antony Cotton - the truth will out.
"Antony you nasty piece of work you are doing yourself no favours."
When asked what Cotton had been like to work with on the ITV1 soap, he added: "Trouble with a capital T."
He went on to retweet another user, who commented: "Antony Cotton. What a Miserable old fadge. Time he left the jungle."
I'm a Celebrity continues tonight (November 30) at 8.30pm on ITV1.
Willie Carson has finished in fifth place in this year's series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.
The jockey received the least amount of votes to save from the viewing public, losing out to McFly's Dougie Poynter.
He smiled after hearing the result, and was hugged by his fellow campmates before being interviewed by Ant & Dec.
Talking about living in the jungle, he said: "Not having the outside world [was tough]. A lot of things were harder, they made it harder.
"I don't mind the conditions, it was not getting the food and having to do things and getting into trouble [I didn't like]".
Carson was still clearly angry at Antony Cotton and Poynter's secret task which involved stealing belongings, but landed himself and others in the camp jail.
"When you're dishonest you should be punished, not the other way round," he said.
Asked who he wanted to win the series, he simply said: "All of them."
Cotton, Poynter, Fatima Whitbread and Mark Wright remain in contention to be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle on Saturday.
I'm a Celebrity continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV1.

Hope Mark wins
Dougie Poynter has been crowned the winner of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! 2011.
The McFly star beat his close friend Mark Wright to the title of King Of The Jungle.
The finalists came into a tight embrace as the result was announced, after which Poynter took his seat on the throne and was handed his crown by I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here Now! hosts Joe Swash and Laura Whitmore.
Speaking to Ant & Dec after his win, Poynter said: "I'm lost for words. It's been the best couple of weeks of my life, I wish everyone in the world could experience that."
Poynter was reunited with his McFly bandmate Tom Fletcher while posing for photographers in the I'm A Celebrity studio.
Fatima Whitbread and Antony Cotton finished third and fourth respectively in yesterday's episode.
Poynter is the eighth male winner since I'm A Celebrity began in 2002. He inherits his crown from last year's Queen Of The Jungle Stacey Solomon.
I didn't do anything," he argued to hosts Ant & Dec. "I felt like I just chilled in my hammock the whole time."
Poynter suggested that he may have initially kept a low profile due to the "terrifying" prospect of living with people he did not know.
"I was just so paranoid that I was going to lose my mind and not have anybody to talk to," he said, before gesturing to his fellow finalist Mark Wright and saying: "Thankfully [he] was there feeling exactly the same."
Poynter identified his challenge to sabotage the camp with Antony Cotton as one of the highlights of his I'm A Celebrity experience, though he confessed to being taken aback by the angry reactions of Willie Carson and Crissy Rock.
"Watching the carnage was brilliant and the morning after it was horrible, everyone was so annoyed at us," he recalled. "I though everyone was going to be [fine] with it, but they weren't. They were like, 'That's stealing, you should be hung'."
Poynter added that he had always been "super-nervous" about the bushtucker trials, but found most of them to be "awesome" fun.
"I've had the most amazing time," he concluded. "I'd do it all over again if I could."
'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! runner-up Mark Wright has said that he was happy that he "didn't have to act" on the show.
The Only Way Is Essex star, who lost the title of King Of The Jungle to Dougie Poynter tonight (December 3), expressed gratitude for being given the "amazing" opportunity to show his real character in the jungle.

"I'll never forget it," he told hosts Ant & Dec. "I've won being here... and I can't be a loser today. It's just an experience of a lifetime and I've loved every single minute of it."
He continued: "You have to exaggerate a certain personality on [The Only Way Is Essex]. When I used to watch it back I'd be like, 'That's not totally me'.
"The best thing about this place is I could come here and just be me. I didn't have to act as anyone, just [be] 'I am Mark'. To be able to show that was an honour."
Asked to name the most rewarding parts of his I'm A Celebrity stint, Wright replied: "Dealing with things I've never dealt with before, being out of my comfort zone and meeting such amazing people that I never would have met."
Wright was also quizzed on his blossoming romance with campmate Emily Scott, who he described as a "very good-looking girl".
He added: "She's a lovely girl to be around. We'll see [about a relationship] when we get out, she's a nice girl. She can come to Essex, we can hang out."
Wright was quick to congratulate Poynter after his victory, having become close to the McFly star in the jungle.
"Anytime I needed to chat when I was down or missing my family, he would notice it," he said. "We'd just pick each other up.
"There couldn't be a better winner than this man here, hes deserves it so much. He's the nicest, kindest person in the whole entire world."
