Myleene Klass opens up on ‘bond’ with I’m A Celeb’s Jordan Banjo after being brought into ‘affair’ rumours
I’M A Celebrity All Stars winner Myleene Klass has opened up about her “bond” with Jordan Banjo after “affair” rumours.
Diversity dancer Jordan, 30, was teased about rumours of an “affair” with pianist Myleene by his trouble-making radio co-host, Perri Kiely.
Jordan is in fact happily married to his wife Naomi Courts, who recently gave birth to their third child, and Myleene is engaged to Simon Motson.
But that didn’t stop Perri stirring the pot on their KissFM breakfast show who pointed out Jordan, 30, was no longer wearing his wedding ring.
Speaking about her campmate after being crowned the first ever legend, Myleene said: “Jordan and I went through a lot together. I bonded really well with Jordan.”
She then went onto praise her other co-stars, who held a special place in her heart.
“Spending time with Carol. I met Carol when I was 10 years old when I won a competition to be an engineer and now, we were in the bush together working out mazes together,” Myleene said.
“My 10-year-old self was high-fiving me. I was like hang on a minute, I wanted to be an engineer because of you and now I’m here doing a puzzle with you – this is epic!
“I have a real soft spot for Janice. She became like an Auntie in there for me. She’s 68 years old. I felt a real affiliation with her, I felt very protective over her.
“Dean, we went into the jungle together in Australia when we were both 27, now we’re both 44.
“Both of us have now got a bad back! Dean was lovely to just be with. And Joe, we’d talk about our families and cry a lot.
“I loved Toff’s energy. I felt her and I were kindred spirits. Helen, we just had such a laugh. I mean, how do you choose? They’re all legends.”
Fans were in hysterics at Perri‘s wind-up after he said he had his suspicions after Jordan saved Myleene from elimination before sharing a long hug and holding hands.
“He’s just pointed at me with his left hand,” said Perri on his radio show this week.
“I’ve noticed something a bit weird this morning.. he’s not wearing his wedding ring.”
He also went on to play clips of Myleene and Jordan together in the South African jungle.
Jordan blasted: “You and producer Jake are snakes. You’ve edited that.”
He explained: “I went boxing yesterday and had to take my wedding ring off and forgot to put it back on.”
Perri jokingly replied: “Taking all that anger out? A lot going on at home is there?”
“Oh shut up,” laughed Jordan, who didn’t appear to be offended by the grilling.
“There is no rumour. It’s you being stupid,” he insisted.
Myleene was crowned I’m A Celebrity South Africa’s first ever legend after her iconic white bikini moment.
