WITH confessions about ‘s**t dropping’ in front of royalty and famous affairs, this year’s campmate gossip is almost as juicy as the Bushtucker Trials.
Fans are especially enjoying the insights into the I’m A Celebrity cast’s loves lives.
This week Chris Moyles revealed he met his long-term girlfriend Tiffany Austin during a holiday in Los Angeles after his controversial exit from BBC Radio 1.
Meanwhile, Matt Hancock has opened up about his secret affair with his aide Gina Coladangelo – who is flying out to see him in Australia.
Here we reveal the devoted partners cheering on the campmates from the side lines.
Seann Walsh
Seann Walsh famously fell foul of ‘the Strictly curse’ in 2018 when he was photographed snogging married dance partner Katya Jones.
The scandal, exposed by HOAR, happened on his long-term girlfriend Rebecca Humphries’ birthday and led to the pair splitting up.
In the jungle, Seann has expressed remorse for his actions – which also spelled the end of Katya’s marriage to fellow dancer Neil Jones.
After the snog the comedian, 36, was briefly linked to Emily Atack but since 2019 he’s been dating dance teacher Grace Adderley, who is now pregnant.
The couple also share a dog, who Grace refers to as their “firstborn”.
Grace often shares sweet snaps of the couple together, and recently called Seann her “best boy” in a post.
She wrote on Instagram: “So happy he’s enjoying himself and having fun! I miss him so much, nearly two full weeks of no contact… Proud girlfriend, almost four years of laughs and weight gain.”
Sue Cleaver
Coronation Street favourite Sue Cleaver has always remained tightlipped about her life away from the cameras.
Previously the 59-year-old said: “I do keep my life private and I am very happy with my home life.”
The actress, who has played Eileen Grimshaw since 2000, was married to fellow thespian James Quinn for 10 years until 2003, and the amicable pair share a son, Elliott.
She’s now married to Corrie lighting engineer Brian Owen, and they still work together on set.
The couple share a pup named George Paws, who often features on Sue’s Instagram.
Babatunde Aleshe
Comedian Babatunde Aleshe tied the knot with childhood sweetheart Leonie in 2015 and the couple have a child.
In the jungle he told campmates they were friends at school until one day he realised, “Wow, you’re pretty” and their romance blossomed from there.
But it wasn’t all plain sailing, as Leonie recalled: “Our first date was Nandos and I was late and he told me, ‘If you’re late again you’ll get here and I won’t be here.’ And I kid you not he wasn’t joking.”
Despite his blunt warning Leonie, who runs a travel consultancy business, said they “fell in love within like seven days”. Aww!
Jill Scott
Former footballer Jill Scott, 35, has been dating Shelly Unitt, sister of her England Lionnesses’ teammate Rachel, for six years.
They shared the happy news of their engagement in 2020 with an Instagram photo showing Shelly with a hot drink wearing a diamond ring, captioned: “The best coffee so far.”
Last year the couple became business partners when they opened up coffee shop Boxx2Boxx in Manchester.
Mike Tindall
Since appearing on I’m A Celebrity, Mike Tindall has shared a few surprising anecdotes about his 11-year marriage to Zara Phillips, the King’s niece.
He recalled their “boozy” first date after being introduced when Mike was dropped from the 2003 England rugby team and went out for drinks to blow off steam.
Mike, 44, also told campmates about Zara’s unplanned homebirth when she “almost choked me to death” while in labour with son Lucas on their bathroom floor.
The couple married in 2011 and have two other children, Mia and Lena.
Chris Moyles
During his Radio 1 days, Chris Moyles dated TV producer Sophie Waite and after they split he was linked to Spice Girl Mel C, who he appeared with in Jesus Christ Superstar.
He was also close to Irish actress Aoibhinn McGinnity before he met Tiffany, an American talent manager from Los Angeles in 2015.
They met in Beverly Hills, where Chris spent a lot of time between leaving the BBC in 2012 and joining Radio X three years later.
Back in 2015, HOAR was told that they “make a great couple and already getting serious” – highlighted by the “huge step” of her relocation to London to be with him.
Since appearing on the show it’s believed that Chris has been sending secret coded messages to Tiffany.
Eagle-eyed fans have spotted him making a T shape with his fingers and that he had also etched the same letter on his hat.
Tiffany, who is the manager of fellow campmate Boy George, was the first to arrive in Australia to support her partner and has given further insight into what it’s like to be with Chris.
She told HOAR: “I definitely think Chris is being himself.
“There is a Chris people know and the one I know that you are seeing now. The one at home is much quieter.”
Matt Hancock
HOAR famously exposed Matt Hancock’s affair with colleague Gina Coladangelo last year, and since then the pair have become an item.
In the jungle, the 44-year-old admitted the kiss “broke the social distancing guidelines” and cited that as the reason for his resignation as Health Secretary.
The scandal also ended Matt’s marriage to wife Martha, who he wed in 2006, and Gina’s marriage to Oliver Tress – the founder of the Oliver Bonas shop chain.
Defending their actions, the disgraced MP told campmates: “That happened because I fell in love with somebody… we fell in love and that’s something that was completely out of my control.”
Charlene White
ITN newsreader Charlene White is notoriously private about her personal life, but is in a long-term relationship with a TV producer called Andy.
Her Loose Women co-stars often refer to her mystery man as her husband, although it’s not known whether they are married.
The couple, whose relationship has remained out of the limelight, have two children – Alfie, five, and Florence, three.
Before going into the jungle, she said Andy was “shocked” that she’d decided to do it.
She added: “We made the decision together but he was like, ‘I have no idea how you are going to cope!’ I am not a ‘need to wear make-up, nails’ kind of girl but I am not very outdoorsy.”
