I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Martin Kemp has opened up about his 37-year marriage to wife Shirlie.

In the latest episode, the former Spandau Ballet star, who also appeared in EastEnders, said: “Shirlie is everything for me. Everything I do in my life, I do it for her.”

He also opened up about their pregnancy struggles due to endometriosis, but said they conceived on the night of their wedding. The couple have two children: presenter son Roman and daughter, Harley Moon.

Elsewhere, Jack Osbourne spoke about the “fresh” grief he’s experiencing four months after the death of his dad, Ozzy, and said he was feeling “delicate”. However, he told his fellow contestants he was “really happy” to be on the show.

YouTuber Angryginge took on the latest Bushtucker trial and also became assistant camp leader working alongside rapper Aitch, who will take on tonight’s trial.

I’m a Celebrity continues nightly on ITV and ITVX.

Is love in the air?

Over the weekend, Aitch confessed to having a ‘soft spot” for Shona McGarty.

It’s now been reported by The Sun that the rapper split from his girlfriend before heading to Australia for the show...

The rapper will be taking on tomorrow night’s trial. So far, all we know is it involves a bed and a lot of spiders.

There appeared to have been some contraband revealed in camp tonight as it looked like Alex Scott was adding salt into the rice at dinner.

Punishment could be coming.

Martin is opening up about his wife’s experience of endometriosis.

The pair struggled to conceive due to the condition but it finally happened for them on their wedding night.

Here’s some more information on the chronically painful condition, which effects 1.5million women in the UK.

Aw, Martin is talking about his wife Shirlie. They’ve been together for 40 years. Or, at least, he thinks so.

They married in St Lucia and the ceremony lasted five minutes. “If I looked into it, I’d probably find we’re not married,” he said.

His secret to a happy marriage? Friendship, says Martin. “Everything I do in my life, I do it for her.” Adorable man.

Jack is opening up about being on the show after the death of his dad Ozzy after last night’s emotional episode.

“Yesterday was a bit of a delicate day for me…I was doing ok, and then I realised it was the four months since my dad died. Had a good cry with Eddie…but ultimately I’m happy, I’m really happy I’m here,” he said. Bless.
