Shocking Secrets of I’m A Celeb: Love Affairs and Heartbreaks Exposed!

BBG News

Instead of being haunted by the “Strictly Come Dancing” curse, past contestants from “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” have experienced unfortunate love entanglements while in the jungle as well.

Additionally, financial struggles, scandalous relationships, and declining fortunes have affected numerous celebrities following their appearances on the ITV program, leading to a series of unfortunate events in their lives.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I find myself compelled to share some intriguing news: I’ve recently learned that I, much like Danny Jones, have found myself in the midst of a bit of a whirlwind. Last week, following an exhilarating BRITs afterparty, I found myself sharing a heartfelt moment, or so it seemed, with the captivating Maura Higgins. It appears this unexpected incident has sparked some buzz, much like the ‘curse’ that seems to have befallen Danny and others in our circle.

As a devoted follower, I find myself reminiscing about the journey of the 38-year-old McFly star, who’s been happily married to his beloved Georgia for more than a decade. Interestingly, during our shared camp experience, I found myself growing particularly close with my former campmate, Maura.

Video obtained by The Sun depicts the two individuals appearing affectionate at the establishment, where they were previously seen seated together with their fellow I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! castmate Oti Mabuse earlier in the evening.

Contrasting with Strictly Come Dancing, where numerous lasting relationships and marriages have blossomed, no unions originating from I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! have been successful so far.

In this article, TopMob examines the infamous “I’m a Celebrity” jinx, focusing on couples who found each other and later parted ways while appearing on the program, as well as other hardships they encountered.

Danny Jones and Maura Higgins

Following an appearance at the event held at 180 The Strand, it was disclosed by TopMob that Danny and Maura had shared an intimate corner for the entire evening.

Danny has been married to wife Georgia since 2014 and the pair share seven-year-old son Cooper.

During the evening event that took place at the O2 Arena, co-stars Maura and Danny found themselves seated at separate tables during the formal proceedings.

During the BRITs awards ceremony, Maura found herself seated at a shared table with Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo, with just one table separating her from her former partner, Pete. However, they managed to maintain a respectful distance without interacting.

While Danny was a few tables away with McFly star Tom.

Monday saw Georgia, my beloved’s wife, neglect to even breathe a word about dear Danny in her most recent podcast episode – a heart-stopping revelation that dropped mere hours after the world witnessed their passionate kiss with Maura. I, your humble servant and die-hard fan, could hardly believe it!

In November, while the McFly star flew to Australia for ‘I’m A Celebrity’, Georgia, aged 38, admirably took care of their home front. Later in the year, he emerged as the ‘King of the Jungle’ after winning the competition.

Last month, it was disclosed that Georgia took a secluded countryside cabin trip by herself, away from the singer, as a means of recuperating after experiencing burnout.

In an open statement, Georgia shared that the challenges of raising children alone while also relocating to a new home took a toll on her, leaving her exhausted.

For about a month, I managed single-handedly as a parent, moved houses alone, and put in extra effort at work while Danny was in the jungle surrounded by snakes – all of this was incredibly tough!” she expressed.

As the New Year approached, it was disclosed that Georgia felt compelled to arrange a special getaway for herself, and she chose a rejuvenating forest lodge from cabin provider Unyoked.

Georgia ventured off to the wintry landscape of Shropshire, settling into a cozy cabin. There, she gathered and split logs for a fire, warmed herself by its crackling flames, indulged in some quiet reading moments, and immersed herself in the beauty of nature’s tranquility.

Marc Bannerman and Cerys Matthews

In a turn of events that left Sarah Matravers heartbroken, Mark, famously portraying Gianni di Marco on EastEnders, embarked on a romantic adventure in the jungle with singer Cerys Matthews, while he was still in a relationship with her at the time.

The actor, 51, was kicked out when he returned home to Sarah following his jungle stint in 2007.

Initially, I journeyed down under with the intention of backing my partner during his show, but the moment I laid eyes on the evidence of his infidelity, I was left staggered and betrayed.

She said at the time: ‘I want to throttle him.

I’m excited to obtain his luggage from the Versace hotel and sort through his shirts to modify them, much like the ones I’ve altered at home.

Mark and Cerys split after three months. 

Mark Wright and Emily Scott

In 2011, while they were both on the program, Mark Wright and Emily Scott engaged in playful conversations with a romantic undertone.

During their shared experience in the jungle, the Australian glamour model and disc jockey, aged 41, formed a strong bond with the TOWIE star, who is also 37 years old.

Upon Emily’s departure, I confessed that I harbored a secret admiration for Mark. However, after our parting, the reality star clarified the air, putting an end to any speculation about a romantic entanglement between us.

At that point, he shared with The Sun: “Emily is an admirable individual and quite attractive, yet I have no romantic feelings towards her. I’m not pursuing a relationship with her.

In the jungle, there was a touch of playful banter between us, yet it didn’t progress beyond that. Currently, I prefer solitude and being single. Although she’s an attractive option, my feelings towards her are not reciprocal.

Joey Essex and Amy Willerton

In 2013, Joey Essex and Amy Willerton fueled romantic speculation by engaging in activities like mutual massage and shared showers while they were both on the show.

The pair were simultaneously dismissed, and Joey boasted that he had danced exuberantly at a height of 35,000 feet alongside a Miss Universe model during their journey back home.

He shared with The Sun that the two of them became quite intimate during a business class restroom break, approximately 7 hours into their flight back from Australia, following their appearance on the TV program I’m A Celebrity.

During the seven-hour flight on Emirates, we sneaked out of our seats and moved along various aisles towards the restrooms. He shared this account with the newspaper.

Upon entering, we found ourselves deeply engaged in a prolonged, intense kiss. Leaving felt nerve-wracking as it appeared others might be observing us.

Instead, they ended their relationship shortly following their return to the UK after only a few brief weeks.

Their relationship took a turn for the worse upon returning home, as Amy’s comment in an interview referring to Joey as her ‘little brother’ didn’t sit well with him, and he expressed feeling exhausted by her playful antics.

Katie Price and Peter Andre 

Katie Price and Peter Andre’s romance is undeniably one of the most well-known relationships to have originated from the ITV jungle camp.

During their time on I’m A Celebrity in 2004, Katie and Peter found themselves falling in love. They got married the following year.

I was privileged to be part of an opulent fairy-tale themed nuptials, held at the magnificent Highclere Castle, a location that later became renowned as the backdrop for the captivating series Downton Abbey.

Despite their romance enduring for a while, they eventually split up. After having two kids, a 17-year-old named Princess and a 19-year-old known as Junior, the divorce became official in 2009, marking over four years since their wedding day.

Peter went on to marry doctor Emily MacDonagh, 35, with whom he now shares two children.

George Shelley and Ferne McCann

2015 saw Union J singer George Shelley and TOWIE star Ferne McCann capturing audience attention by developing a tight bond.

It was speculated that they were in a romantic relationship after their time together on the show, as they confessed to having shared a kiss and Ferne expressed her feelings by saying she “loved him.

But sadly, romance was not meant to be and they later explained that they were happy being friends.

Following their exit from the jungle, Ferne shared with Fabulous Magazine: “He’s an attractive young man and I admire his good looks. I’m eager to spend more time with him, so keep an eye out for updates.

‘I’m pretty certain it’s just going to be a fantastic friendship.’

Later on, she mentioned that we’ve spent a considerable amount of time together since our return. We shared a kiss, but it didn’t involve any tongue action – more like a friendly holiday greeting you might give at Christmas time.

It’s amusing how attached I became to the folks inside, that upon my return, I experienced a genuine sense of longing for him. All I desired was to reconnect with him and Vicky.

In July 2018, upon the release of his debut solo single Technicolour, the singer came out as gay. 

Jacqueline Jossa

In 2019, Jacqueline, who is often referred to as the “Queen of the Jungle,” decided to appear on a TV show with the aim of increasing her public visibility following her extended career in the popular soap opera EastEnders.

Due to leaving the BBC soap opera, the actress, aged 32, previously known for her role as Lauren Branning, found herself in financial difficulties and resorted to living in a camp setting.

‘Once off the show, you won’t receive any additional pay.’

‘I have no choice but to take on a demanding job that feels like a high-pressure situation. People often wonder why I’m making such a sacrifice, and the answer is simple: I need to provide for my children. It’s not something I’m ashamed of or embarrassed about.’

At present, Jacqueline is engaging in a struggle against In The Style, following her public criticism of the fashion brand last week.

After bringing in lawyers, she insisted on being fairly compensated for her work, given that the fashion retailer was heading towards administration.

Jacqueline had no choice but to speak to the brand openly on social platforms, as she hadn’t received any response from anyone within the company.

In the whirlwind of 2020, I had the incredible opportunity to partner up with an esteemed online fashion house, inking a deal that was estimated to be valued at a staggering £1 million. It’s been an exhilarating journey ever since!

It seems that the EastEnders actress is said to have sought advice from legal professionals regarding an allegedly outstanding, significant amount of money, estimated to be in the thousands, during her partnership with the fashion company.

I had the privilege of joining a dynamic fashion company established by Adam Frisby back in 2013. However, in an exciting turn of events, our company was acquired by the esteemed UK-based private equity firm Baaj Capital for a significant sum of £1.2million in March 2023.

In December 2023, Ben Armstrong took over as managing director following Frisby’s resignation; however, he later departed from the company.

On Thursday, Jacqueline shared on her Instagram stories: “Despite spending four wonderful years with In The Style, I didn’t expect our association to conclude like this. Unfortunately, due to the lack of response from any representative at the company, my decision has essentially been made for me.

Although my name and likeness continue to be displayed across the site, aiding in the promotion of merchandise, I have unfortunately not received payment for several months now.

She went on to say, “I notice they’re bringing in more people and releasing new lines, and I believe it’s my duty to inform the new hires that their contracts might not be fulfilled, and they may not receive payment.

Following my statement about speaking out, last week, the Managing Director scheduled a call with me during one of the busiest periods in my professional career at EE live. Regrettably, he failed to attend, showing disrespect by leaving my team and myself on the call for approximately 20 minutes before we ended it.

‘He has since not responded to any emails.’

Jackie clarified she’s never openly endorsed any brand she collaborated with, but now feels compelled to speak up against one that disregards her, as well as other uncompensated females.

she implored: “All I sought was a peaceful departure and the payment I rightfully deserve. Don’t hesitate to message me if you too have experienced this injustice. For now, ladies, I strongly advise you to carefully consider your choices before making purchases from that place!

It seems you might have noticed that I haven’t shared anything new about them after Christmas. However, they continue to use my photos and market my collections. I’m puzzled as to where the earnings are being directed, and it all feels quite peculiar.

A company can be put into administration if it’s in debt and can’t pay the money it owes. 

A limited company may undergo liquidation when it’s unable to settle its financial obligations. Creditors, which are individuals or entities to whom the company owes money, have the option to petition the court for debt recovery.

According to Sky News reports, it appears that The Style may be facing financial difficulties, with FTS Recovery being appointed as their administrator.

According to the source, it’s plausible that Baaj Capital might face an insolvency situation that has already been prepared (pre-packaged).

The prominent figure in the soap industry expressed gratitude towards Adam Frisby, former CEO who resigned in December 2023, and Jamie Corbett, another key player in the company, for their contributions.

Sam Thompson 

Following his victory on I’m A Celebrity in 2023, Sam Thompson’s life appeared ideal, with both his professional and personal aspects flourishing.

Following his triumph in the jungle, the previous Made In Chelsea star is set to return to Australia and host the spin-off series I’m A Celebrity: Unraveled in the year 2024.

I found myself in a situation where my career commitments necessitated a month-long separation from my partner, Zara McDermott. We had to maintain our bond from afar during this period.

However, the strain became unbearable when TopMob decided to part ways unexpectedly in December 2024, marking the end of their five-year collaboration.

The former Strictly stunner revealed shortly after that she had moved out of their Chelsea home. 

Stuart Manning

Following my unexpected and less-than-impressive rodent performance alongside Gino D’Acampo on the show in 2009, I returned to a dearth of opportunities at home.

After my disappointing rat act with Gino D’Acampo on the show in 2009, there wasn’t much work waiting for me when I got back home.

The Hollyoaks star left viewers disgusted when he and Gino cooked a rat on TV after going hungry.

In a related development, Stuart and Gino were accused of animal cruelty offenses, while ITV was penalized with a fine totaling £2,000 due to broadcasting such content on air.

Following the unfortunate turn of events, I briefly reappeared on the scene at Hollyoaks, taking on the role of Russell Owens. However, my time there was cut short when my character met an untimely end just three months into my return.

Since his soap stint, Stuart has rarely been seen on TV.

Danny Miller

In simple terms, the soap opera actor Danny Miller triumphed in the 2021 season of “I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” and was crowned the inaugural champion, as this year’s competition took place at Gwrych Castle in North Wales.

However, the actor, 34 – who plays Aaron Dingle on the ITV soap, has since faced monetary troubles.

Prior to appearing on the show, Danny decided to leave Emmerdale after a 13-year run, anticipating that this stint on the reality program might lead to additional chances and possibilities.

However, by July 2022, the theater company he owned, Cannon Professional Acting Company, was declared bankrupt and owed approximately £117,528.

In July 2022, the theater company he ran, Cannon Professional Acting Company, went into liquidation with a debt of around £117,528.

Or:
By July 2022, the acting company that he managed, Cannon Professional Acting Company, ended up in bankruptcy proceedings, leaving a debt of approximately £117,528 behind.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but share this fascinating financial detail about my beloved subject. Back in the day, there was a staggering figure of £117,528 owed, a sum that broke down into £36,991 for unpaid Value Added Tax (VAT) and an additional £1,866 for unpaid Pay As You Earn (PAYE) and National Insurance contributions, as per the records from Companies House.

Established back in 2013, the company’s balance reported a total of £66,812 by the year 2021. At that time, Danny held an 80% stake in the business.

Laila Morse

79-year-old soap actress Laila Morse, who appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2013, found herself facing financial difficulties after her time on the show.

In 2014, she openly shared with The Mirror that she was struggling with a debt of around £150,000 to £200,000. During this time, she faced visits from debt collectors while she remained in hiding at home.

Everything she earned, including what she got paid for being on I’m A Celebrity, needed to be paid back to the friends she owed money to.

The famous TV personality confided in a magazine: “I was forced to borrow money from my friends, around £13,000, to avoid becoming homeless. I’d ignore the bailiffs when they came knocking. It’s an unpleasant experience – hard to put into words.

Before Christmas, I had earned approximately £40,000, yet not a single penny of that money reached my hands. I had hoped to use some of it to repay those I owed, but instead, the funds were taken directly by the receivers.

She remarked: ‘Upon hearing about their bankruptcy, I experienced a sense of embarrassment and humiliation. It makes one want to avoid social interactions or encounters with others. One feels as though everyone is scrutinizing you.’
