ITV bosses are breathing a sigh of relief that the I’m A Celebrity camp mates will be returning to Gwrych Castle. Yet while the show’s been off air thanks to Storm Arwen, there’s been some drama off screen.
A source told OK! that soon to be former Emmerdale actor Danny Miller’s fiancée Steph was hurt by reality star Nicola McLean’s comments that Danny was possibly playing a game.
They said: “Steph is really unhappy with Nicola McLean, who is saying he’s got a game plan. Danny is the most genuine guy and Nicola doesn’t even know him.”
They added: “Steph has really taken it to heart and she finds what Nicola said hurtful because the only reason he’s doing the show is for his family.”
Now, speaking in a Facebook Live with Daily Star Showbiz reporter Carly Hacon earlier today, glamour model Nicola – who did I’m A Celebrity in 2008 – was perplexed.
“I was quite shocked to see it actually and maybe it’s not true, but I’ve got a very open Instagram so if she wants to tell me, I’m all ears,” said Nicola. “Apparently Danny Miller’s fiance was cross that I said he might be playing a game.
“I found it really shocking. Right, he is in a game, so if he’s playing a game there’s no problem.
“I said he was a nice guy and I said I’m all here for his game plan, if it is one. I’m not saying he’s continued to play a game, I’m not saying he’s pretending to be something he’s not,” she continued.
“Just saying – if you really do have that bad a gag reflex, you’d be hiding that so you didn’t get the eating trial.
Nicola also told Carly that the eating trials are the ones to aim for when you’re on the show.
“The eating trials are the best trials to get, I got it myself and I told my husband ‘Have me on speed dial, make sure I get that eating trial because it’s good. I will be out first if I don’t get the eating trial because I don’t have the fan base that everyone else has.
“So if he [Danny] did it, good for him. I was just a bit like ‘Oh my god, don’t go on a reality show if you don’t want people’s opinions. It’s wild to me that people would even care.”
