I'm A Celeb: JLS star Marvin Humes lands in Australia

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star Marvin Humes has seemingly left his wife Rochelle Humes feeling sick with nerves ahead of his jungle stint.

In his last Instagram post before arriving in Australia, the JLS singer announced hosts Ant and Dec had taken his phone off him, as part of the show's protocol, and therefore was no longer able to speak to loved ones.

With the post being his last for the next few weeks, many took the opportunity to wish him luck for a final time.

Amongst the comments, Rochelle, 34, shared multiple sick emojis, seemingly at the thought of not seeing him for almost a month.

But also issuing her support, she added: "Omg this is actually happening!!! Let’s go baby."

Many of Marvin's followers spotted her message and replied with uplifting comments.

One wrote: "KING MARVIN 100[per cent]! He will do you and your family so so proud! He has everyone behind him including millions of JLSters."

Another said: "He's going to be in right till the end xxx."

A third joked she was a good actress after successfully not giving anything away about his jungle stint when quizzed on This Morning last week.

At the time, presenter Rochelle seemed surprised after he was "rumoured" to be a part of the line-up.

She went on to insist that he may be too busy for the show due to his commitments with JLS, although their nationwide tour ended last weekend.

The couple, who married in 2012, share three children together; Alaia-Mai, 10, Valentina, six, and Blake, three.

Reflecting on his goodbyes to his family, he said on his page: "Today, [I] just literally spent the whole day with the family, making the most of the last few hours I’ve got with them because I’m not going to have contact with them for four weeks from tomorrow."

The singer said the distance will be "super, super tough,” but that he was "super excited" to take on the jungle.

"The first time they’ve asked me, and the timing has actually worked out very, very well,” Marvin added.

On telling his wife, he spilled: “When I first told Rochelle, she thought I was doing a prank on her.

“She thought I was nuts and she still can’t believe I’m doing it! This is the most daring thing I have ever done and I have never challenged myself this way before.

"It’s one million per cent harder than performing on stage and I woke up with knots in my stomach this morning thinking about it."

The singer will face his fears amongst nine other brave celebrities; Sam Thompson, Josie Gibson, Nigel Farage, Fred Sirieix, Grace Dent, Jamie Lynn Spears, Nella Rose and Danielle Harold.

I'm A Celebrity starts Sunday 19th November at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
