I’m A Celeb runner-up Jordan Banjo breaks his silence after Myleene Klass ‘affair’ accusations and shares ‘confession’
I’M A Celebrity runner-up Jordan Banjo has broken his silence after his co-star Perri Kiely fuelled rumours of him having an “affair” with Myleene Klass.
Diversity star Jordan, 30, was teased about rumours of an “affair” with pianist Myleene by his trouble-making radio co-host, Perri.
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.
Jordan has since taken to social media and praised his wife as a “legend” and an incredible mum.
He told fans: “Slight confession to make…I’m going to tell you the confession in one second.
“I can’t actually believe I am going to tell you this. It’s not good, it’s not good.”
He continued: “I haven’t seen the final episode, I fell asleep at about half eight last night, blinked, opened by eyes and it was broad daylight.
“I haven’t seen the final of I’m A Celeb, that’s why I’m so shocked at all the lovely messages.
“I woke up and was like ‘what’s going on’.
“And again, big shout out to my wife for handling the newborn because I blinked and then I was awake.
“So my wife’s a legend, technically so is Myleene Klass, she’s the legend because I didn’t win.
“I’m going to catch up on the episode but that last trial was so gross, it was so bad.”
He added: “I’ve been getting hundreds of request, I literally can’t even get to the bottom, just everyone sending positive vibes.
“I hope you enjoyed the series and I was about to say I hope you see you again – but you’ll never see me back on I’m A Celeb as a campmate, I couldn’t do it again.”
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.
