I’m A Celebrity’s Danny Jones has revealed the one thing that left his camp mates terrified during his stint in the Jungle. 

The McFly singer, 38, was crowned champion after pipping Coleen Rooney, 38, to the post on Sunday.

And after crossing the famous bridge and meeting his family, the star has now revealed that the show could have been very different.

Danny told The Mirror that there was a terrifying moment during filming where the celebrities were forced to flee the camp and shelter in the Bush Telegraph because of the terrible weather.

The torrential rain Down under put a dampener on the stars mood throughout their time on the show and was so bad the stars were forced to escape the camp.

The singer told the publication it was one of the hardest nights he had experienced.

And it wasn’t just the weather that made the experience uncomfortable.

The McFly star revealed everyone was forced to battle leeches and the critters became such a nuisance, Danny was forced to make sure no one was suffering with them.

He explained: ‘It was one of the hardest nights, we were all quite cramped and I think there were still 12 of us then as well, all boiling-hot in close proximity. The rain also meant the leeches were searching for you and I was literally on leech check every day.’

Danny’s confession comes after his former camp mate Melvin Odoom revealed he went through one of the hardest night’s of his life during his time in the camp before the show’s producers were forced to intervene.

Viewers saw the BBC Radio 1 presenter, 44, break down in tears last week after he was forced to sleep in the Bush Telegraph hut after his sleeping bag was drenched in torrential rain during the night.

He told MailOnline: ‘I thought about quitting because I found it difficult and I thought the finish line seemed quite far away at the time but no, because I didn’t want to let my family down.

‘I was the first out of Strictly, and I was aware of that in my head because I let people down when I did that.’

Much of Melvin’s ordeal was not shown on camera but now he has revealed what happened that night, which saw him rescued by camp security after calling for help in the middle of the night.

He said: ‘It was one of the hardest nights, we were all quite cramped and I think there were still 12 of us then as well, all boiling-hot in close proximity’

He told MailOnline: ‘I woke up one night and I was literally just covered like I was drenched. I had my mic on and I was like, ‘Guys, I’m wet, help’ and those guys were on it.

‘Suddenly out of the bushes came this security guard fully covered, like a commando, with a light on his head and he was like, ‘Mel, you ok? Come with me.’

‘He would have carried me if I asked him to. But he took me out of the hammock and told me to go to Bush Telegraph.

‘There was this amazing guy Chris who asked me if I was ok and I was like, ‘No I’m cold and I can’t sleep’.’

The ITV crew gave him some dry clothing and put Melvin in two sleeping bags before asking him if he wanted to stay and left him sleeping in the hut.

This was not shown during the show, but Melvin was seen emerging from the hut and breaking down, he said: ‘I cry at romcoms but I felt embarrassed because you’ve got people like Coleen, who didn’t shed a tear and she’s got little ones, and I found it hard being in that environment and feeling that way.’

Danny received a hero’s welcome at the JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort and Spa in Surfer’s Paradise after he was crowned King Of The Jungle.

Following Sunday night’s nail-biting final of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! winner Danny, runner-up Coleen and third place star Revered Richard Coles were greeted by friends and family as they returned to luxury after three weeks in the Jungle.

Danny proudly donned his flower crown over his hat as he whooped and hollered at the crowds who had turned out to greet him and the finalists.

During the emotional final, Danny broke down in tears as he met wife Georgia, whom he shares son Cooper, six, with, on the bridge with open arms in an emotional reunion after three weeks.

Although over the moon for campmate Danny, Coleen said she was ‘gutted’ after she shortly-missed out on becoming Queen Of The Jungle.
