I’m A Celebrity viewers were a mixture of horrified and overjoyed on Tuesday as JLS member Martin Humes revealed how he got together with his now-wife Rochelle – before fans spotted his secret sign to her during an announcement by Ant & Dec.
During tonight’s episode, we saw the campmates discussing how they first met their partners, with Fred Siriex announcing he’s marrying his sweetheart in Jamaica next year.
One such celeb was Marvin, who told the others gathered round the campfire how he got together with Rochelle.

He told them how when she went to the toilet, he rooted around in her handbag, took her phone and called himself from it so he’d have her number.
He then pestered her for a date for three months.
Some ITV1 and ITVX viewers weren’t entirely convinced by the romance of the tale.

@hardcorecol said: “Marvin ‘pestered’ his mrs for a date. Lovely story and ending but someone will be offended by that”
@amedoftw said: “Listening to Marvin Humes “cute” story of how he met his partner”
@see75 said: “Can’t believe Marvin phoned himself using Rochelle’s phone!!”
It all worked out in the end though as the pair now have three kids together and he told the others “I’m very lucky.”
But later fans were backing Marvin as they spotted his sign to his family live on air.
He made three bumps on his heart while Ant & Dec were announcing who would take part in the next Bushtucker Trial.

In the end it was revealed that Jamie Lynn Spears would take on the next trial based on the public vote – though Nigel Farage and Nella Rose were exempt ‘for medical reasons’.
I’m A Celebrity returns at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX on Wednesday, November 22.
