I’m A Celebrity fans shocked as Danny Jones reveals how McFly got its name and admits he originally hated it

I'm A Celebrity fans shocked as Danny Jones reveals how McFly got its name and admits he originally hated it

I find myself deeply moved by the story of Danny, a man who has bravely stepped into the jungle not just for entertainment, but as a platform to shed light on his personal journey with anxiety. As someone who has also grappled with mental health issues, I can relate to Danny’s struggle and admire his courage in sharing his experiences so openly.

As an ardent admirer, let me share with you a fascinating tidbit about McFly’s moniker that was recently unveiled by their charismatic frontman, Danny Jones from I’m A Celebrity. It turns out that the band name McFly was not initially loved by Danny himself; in fact, he originally loathed it! Isn’t it intriguing to learn about these behind-the-scenes stories?

His bandmates – Tom Fletcher, Harry Judd, and Dougie Poynter – suggested the name McFly to him, but since he wasn’t immediately on board, Danny required some persuasion.

Danny shared that his fellow musicians requested him to watch the movie “Back to the Future,” a film he had not previously viewed.

He mentioned that they had been brainstorming a name for something, and McFly was one of the suggestions they had prepared earlier.

Initially, I disliked it. However, James and Tom made me sit down to watch Back to the Future with them, and I confessed that I hadn’t seen it before. As I was watching, Biff collided with a manure truck, and on the side of the truck, it read D. Jones Manure Manufacturing.

‘And I was like “McFly it is”.’

Fans were surprised to discover the origin of the name, as one wrote: “It was Danny who named them McFly because the truck had D. Jones; oh, I adore him even more now.

I didn’t realize that McFly’s name originated from Back to the Future; it hadn’t occurred to me before.

Even though I’m not a fan of McFly, I appreciate their clever choice of naming their band after Marty McFly’s last name from Back to the Future. It shows they have great taste in movies!

It seems that Danny is no longer considered the most likely winner for this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! by the betting companies.

38-year-old actor from McFly fame, who started off as the clear favorite, has held the lead position throughout the competition due to his dedicated fan base.

On this very Tuesday, I found myself utterly stunned when news broke that yet another contender might just snatch the throne! It appears that Coleen Rooney has surged ahead in the odds, leaving me trembling with anticipation to see who’ll ultimately claim the title!

BetMGM has updated the odds for the Queen of the Jungle title, with the WAG currently at 5/4. Interestingly, Danny, who previously held a strong lead, has moved to 7/4.

According to Oddschecker, Colleen’s odds of winning have significantly decreased from 3 to 1 (or 3:1) to 6 to 4 (or 6:4), following Monday night’s episode. Similarly, Danny’s odds have shifted dramatically from 1 to 1 (or 1:1) to 7 to 4 in only a day’s time.

Currently, William Hill is offering odds of 5/4 that she will win the show, while Danny is currently priced at 6/4 as we approach Sunday’s finale.

“For the last two weeks, Danny Jones from McFly was considered the likely winner. However, bets on Coleen Rooney have increased significantly, making her the new front-runner with odds of 5/4.

At the summit of the market, Jones leads with odds of 7/4, closely followed by Richard Coles at 9/2. The leading trio are significantly ahead of Maura Higgins, whose current odds stand at 20/1.

For the remaining campmates, their chances of winning seem slim. Following Higgins, the next contestants with significant odds are goalkeeper Barry (at 25:1), Alan Halsall (at 33:1), and dancer Oti Mabuse (at approximately 66:1).

According to Leon Blackman from Oddscheker, after several weeks of leading in the betting market, Danny Jones is no longer the front-runner to win ‘I’m A Celebrity’.

starting from the market’s opening, Jones has been leading the pack, but this morning, Coleen Rooney unexpectedly surged ahead. In just the past day, her odds have significantly dropped from 3 to 1, now at 6 to 4. This shift is mainly due to a high volume of bets on Oddschecker in her favor over the last 24 hours.

A representative from William Hill, named Lee Phelps, stated: “There’s been a significant shift in the betting for ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ With Danny Jones no longer leading the pack, Coleen Rooney has taken the front position just before the final on Sunday.

The outcome isn’t set in stone yet; Rooney, priced at 5/4, is slightly more favored than Danny at 6/4. However, she appears to be gaining significant ground as we approach the final six episodes of the series.

Subsequent events unfolded following the heated dispute on the main ITV program, with them asserting that Danny was previously chosen as the victor.

Viewers of the series believe that the network might have already chosen this season’s winner, as one contestant seems to be receiving undue favoritism over the others.

During this part of the show, campers faced an adventure inside the Freight Bus, where celebrities encountered various creatures and collected coins that could be exchanged for high-end goods.

However, amidst an assortment of diverse items that included both apples and dresses (golden or otherwise), it was Danny’s personal guitar, adorned with sketches made by his kids, that he received.

Fans couldn’t help but notice the apparent imbalance in the presented gifts, prompting them to express their opinions on X (previously known as Twitter).

It appears a bit unjust, doesn’t it, that while other campmates found scraps of various junk, Danny received a guitar with his sons’ writings on it instead?

It seems quite clear that Danny will take the victory; he was provided with a guitar, while the others were given peculiar outfits.

‘So Maura got an apple and Danny got a guitar? Favouritism right there.’

Additionally, people watching beyond ITV are equally convinced that the participant will emerge victorious in the competition, a prediction made by Danny’s mom, Kathy, who believes he will be named the “King of the Jungle.

The families of the celebrities arrived in Brisbane on Tuesday ahead of the evictions coming up.

Upon landing at the airport, Kathy pondered over Danny’s emotional journey through the jungle up until now.

She shared with The Mirror, “I found myself chuckling at the sight of him with a snake in his pants one day, only to be tears the following day.

‘It got me a bit. I am so proud of him… I think he could win, and do it for the North.’

Additionally, she shared with TopMob: “Danny is fantastic, he’s absolutely brilliant. The snake in his pants was a delightful surprise and it’s quite uncharacteristic of him to let his laundry pile up for three days; he’s typically quite meticulous about hygiene.

‘He’s the nicest man I know apart from Harry, Danny and Tom [McFly] they’re also really nice.’

The mother of two shared that she hasn’t received any direct communication from the band members, but she has come across their videos on social platforms, and she finds them delightful.

In Australia, she arrived following an emotional display by Danny on the previous night’s show, where he shared details of his lifelong struggle with anxiety.

Danny felt deep emotions while talking about his mental health with his fellow campers, revealing that he’s been undergoing therapy since he turned 19 years old.

Audience members highly commended the celebrity for his candidness regarding his mental wellbeing, following the reminder from Strictly’s Oti Mabuse, aged 34, on the significance of males expressing their emotions openly.
