Danny Jones, the renowned McFly star, has bravely shared a harrowing experience from his time in camp. The weather turned extremely bad on several occasions, leading to their evacuation not once but twice. They were forced to take shelter in the Bush Telegraph, enduring cramped and boiling-hot conditions with 12 of them close together. The relentless rain also brought an unwelcome guest - leeches. Danny was constantly on leech check, a daily battle against these pesky creatures.

Real Camaraderie Amidst Atrocious Weather

During this challenging time, there was a remarkable sense of camaraderie among the contestants. The record rainfall that hit the camp brought them closer together. In an exclusive interview with the Mirror, Danny opened up about the storm and also talked about being reunited with his wife Georgia and son Cooper in camp.The moment he saw Cooper's little smile and excited face was truly a beautiful one. It was pure love and emotion. Going into I'm a Celebrity, Danny's focus was to make Cooper proud, and it was evident from their conversation that he had achieved just that. Cooper had even been trying to imitate his dad on TV by creating his own Bushtucker trials at home.

Lockdown and Long Separation

In addition to the three weeks in camp, Danny was on lockdown without his phone for a further week. This was a long time away from Georgia and Cooper. Even during their tours, they usually came home on weekends. But this time, there was no contact for a whole month. Georgia was overjoyed to see her husband again. She expressed her pride in him, and Danny couldn't hold back his tears. It was a moment that kept him going through the testing times.

Dealing with Anxiety and Emotional Outbursts

Danny has also been open about his struggles with anxiety. He started therapy at 19 years old after his dad left home. During his time in I'm a Celebrity, it all became too much at one point, but he was comforted by Tulisa Contostavlos and Oti Mabuse. His McFly bandmates also showed their emotions. When he Face-Timed Dougie Poynter shortly after leaving camp, Dougie was left in tears by his victory. Dougie's words, "Mate, I'm so proud of my best mate, and every time I watched you, I just had tears in my eyes," were an extra special moment. Coming from Dougie, who won the same show 13 years ago, meant a lot.They don't usually talk like that in their everyday lives, but in that moment, it was incredible. On the way back in the stretch hummer from camp to his hotel, Danny watched video messages from his other bandmates. Dougie was awake as he was in the Bahamas, while the other boys had done little videos online for him. Tom said, "We love you to bits…we're so proud of you."Follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Threads.
