I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Beverley Callard has revealed that she didn’t know who her campmate Jordan North was originally and thought he was a ‘diva’.
The Radio 1 DJ, 31, made a memorable entrance on the ITV reality show last year when he threw up during the first official challenge of the series.
He teamed up with Beverley, 64, for the first episode of Beverley and Jordan: Destination Wedding on Wednesday night.
The new series follows the pair as they travel to Europe so that Beverley can renew her wedding vows with her husband of 11 years, Jon McEwan.
While now firm friends, Beverley revealed in the opening moments of the show that her first impressions of Jordan weren’t so friendly.
The former Coronation Street star said: “The first day when he was up on the cliff throwing up and doing all that, I didn’t know who Jordan was.
“And I was thinking, ‘he’s going to get on my nerves. Bit of a diva.'”
Thankfully, Beverley later changed her mind about the northern presenter.
Revealing she quickly learned to get on with Jordan, she added: “And then when I met him, instantly, I looked into his eyes and I just thought ‘he’s just fab’.”
Jordan also discussed the pair’s unlikely friendship on the show.
He said: “We just clicked straight away.
“It was literally like that.”
“I remember it was the [Gates to Hell] trial and I was trying to get these bugs out of her hair and she was panicking a bit and I just knew there and then that we were going to be friends.
“I thought, ‘we’re going to look after one another’.”
Beverley and Jordan: Destination Wedding airs on ITV.
