Rochelle Humes reveals I'm A Celeb producers would text her about Marvin's behaviour in jungle

Marvin Humes headed to the Australian jungle last year, and was the sixth celebrity to be voted off the ITV show, with Sam Thompson eventually crowned King of the Jungle

Rochelle Humes admitted she got special treatment when husband Marvin Humes was on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

The 39-year-old JLS singer and presenter was one of the famous faces in the Australian jungle last year, and was the sixth celebrity voted off the ITV show after being involved in a string of gruesome challenges. He lasted long enough in the camp to have an emotional reunion with Rochelle, and he told Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly that the experience was “life-changing”.

During his stint on the show, he confessed it was the longest he and Rochelle, 35, had been apart since they started dating in 2010, and in a new interview with The Sun, the former Saturdays singer revealed she was given special treatment by one of the producers on the show thanks to their young children. The couple are parents to Alaia-Mai, 11, Valentina Raine, seven, and son Blake, four, and Rochelle said she was contacted by a producer who would advise whether the children would be able to watch their dad on ITV show that evening.

“I did get a text from the producer every day in the morning, as a courtesy, giving a little synopsis of what's going to be on that night’s show so I could then decide whether the kids would watch it,” Rochelle explained. “She’d also be like, ‘Everything's fine,’ which was so weird, another woman telling me my husband's okay!”

The former This Morning presenter said the time they spent apart while Marvin was in the jungle did wonders for their relationship, but she would never do it again. “It’s a good way to add a bit of, ‘Oh, my God, I actually did really miss you. I do really love you’ back into your relationship!” she laughed. However, Rochelle ruled out taking part in I’m A Celebrity, as she said “zero contact” from her family was the deal breaker. “I can't be there. It's just too real for me,” she admitted.

Rochelle also revealed that she would message the producer on the ITV show with a sweet reminder after seeing Marvin with sunburn. “I messaged her one day, like, ‘His head's peeling. He needs to put sun cream on,’ and she was like, ‘I assure you that he's got it on.’ I'm like, ‘No, because his head's never peeled before!’” she joked.

When Marvin exited the jungle just days before the final, he gushed about his family, and Rochelle admitted she still uses a clip of their emotional reunion to win arguments at home. “I literally went down his Instagram Reels, pressed it, and was like, ‘Remember when you loved me this much?’ It’s set the barometer of ‘Don't be silly. You love me really.’ It was so lovely,” she confessed.
