John wasn’t the only celebrity to reveal his secret crush, with Fleur East admitting she fancied Buzz Lightyear, while Emily Atack shocked her campmates by revealing she has crushes on animated characters Aladdin and Lumiere, the candlestick from Beauty and the Beast.

But his husband Scott took to Twitter to confirm that John was up to the challenge, writing: “Newsflash from the Jungle! John has taken off his cast and thrown away his crutches and is ready to take whatever the I’m A Celebrity team can throw at him. Doctor Theatre has been hard at work…”
