Joe Swash tipped to win I'm a Celebrity following emotional scenes over wife Stacey and their kids but stuns with 'disgusting' moment

We're heading towards the final of the I'm A Celebrity ...Get Me Out Of Here! all-stars spin-off, in a bid to be crowned the first I’m A Celebrity Legend, on Friday. And fans were declaring their winner following emotional scenes.

The I'm a Celebrity South Africa camp became emotional as former EastEnders star Joe Swash talked about his wife Stacey Solomon and their children. Joe, who played Mickey Miller in the BBC soap from 2003 to 2008, was in tears as he spoke of missing his family back home in the pre-recorded show, which was filmed last September.

Revealing he keeps thinking about home, Joe tells his fellow campmates: “I’m really missing my kids… I don’t know how to get rid of the feeling.” Joe, who was crowned King of the Jungle in the 2008 series, said: “I was a different person the first time I did I’m A Celebrity.
