I’m A Celeb fans praise campmate after emotional scenesITV
I’m A Celebrity: South Africa viewers have rallied behind one particular campmate after a poignant moment in the latest episode. The scenes came after late arrivals Craig Charles and Gemma Collins were added to the show last night.
With Gemma proving to be an instant fan favourite all over again with her series of one-liners, Craig also came in for a lot of admiration for the way he opened up about his health.
The former Coronation Street actor opened up about all the medication he is on as a result of a previous heart attack, and the stents he has in his heart.

The star previously pulled out of the main series of the ITV reality hit when his brother Dean passed away from the same condition.
“It’s the same thing that killed my brother when I was here last time,” he said. “They told me this is genetic, you need to go get that looked at.”
Scarlett Moffat later said: “I think Craig is really, really brave coming back somewhere where you found out the most devastating news, must be really hard.”
Taking to social media, fans expressed love and support for him, with one writing: “Really feel for Craig. Would love to see him win this.”

“I just want to wrap my arms around Craig. What a great guy he is,” said someone else; while a third posted: “Craig is such a nice funny man he always [seems] to be so positive.”
“Protect him at all costs,” someone else wrote simply.
Elsewhere tonight, in lighter scenes, Gemma explained why she feels she’ll need to hold four separate wedding ceremonies with her fiancé Rami Hawash. That’s because firstly she wants an “earthy event”, secondly she likes Taormina in Sicily, thirdly she likes the idea of tying the knot at Claridge’s in London, and fourthly she wants to get married with Rami’s family in their native Israel.
Adam Thomas laughed in the Bush Telegraph: “Only Gemma Collins could get married four times to the same guy, and I’m here for it.”
