I’m A Celebrity viewers are set to discover another unsurprising JLS fan in the camp as they battle it out in another gruelling Bushtucker trial.
After one week in the Australian jungle, ITV viewers are still getting to know the 12 campmates who are fighting to be crowned the next king or queen of the jungle. Arguably, one of the most surprising facts they learnt this week was that former Made In Chelsea hunk Sam Thompson is a huge fan of the beloved boyband.
But it appears as though he’s not alone as Tony Bellew opens up about his musical guilty pleasure in the Bush Telegraph. Over in Snake Rock, the 40-yeaar-old boxer told viewers: “To call me a JLS fan is probably a bit strong.

“I’m a huge fan of Love You More, the song. Since I've seen Marvin, for the life of me I can’t get this bloody song out of my head.” As if he could read are minds, the sportsman warned viewers: “Before you ask – no I'm not going to sing it. I would absolutely brutalise that record.”
But later on in the show, the dad-of-three bit the bullet and confessed to the singer that he was quite a shy fan of the X Factor group. When he asked about the track, Marvin explained: “The one you love, I wrote it with JB in LA.”
It was at this point that Tony stopped hiding his admiration for the hitmaker, as he gushed: “Brilliant,” as the TV star added: “That was our fourth number 1 song that was.” Tony added: “That’s an unbelievable song” as the chart-topper went on: “I always said I wanted to write a number 1 record. I’ve only done it once.”
“Doesn’t matter, you’ve done it,” the boxer insisted as they chuckled about the 2010 single. After their surprising interaction, Marvin took to the Bush Telegraph to share his surprise with fans.
He admitted: “That really took me by surprise that Tony ‘The Bomber’ Bellew is a big fan on JLS. Love that.” It comes after Sam asked Marvin how to do the JLS dance to their hit track Everybody In Love while some of the campmates were off on a Bushtucker trial.
Fans were thrilled to see the 38-year-old bring back his famous dance moves as they performed for the remaining campers who chuckled and laughed. But his dance lesson didn’t end there, with Marvin going on to share the routine to She Makes Me Wanna.
It’s fair to say Sam was more than happy to keep going, as he enthusiastically tried to master the steps before they performed a second routine for the camp. The doting dad later reflected on his friendship with the TV presenter in the Bush Telegraph.

He gushed: “Sam is a top bloke, his energy is incredible! I think he’s a bit of a fan of JLS, which is amazing.” After watching the heartwarming interaction, viewers flooded to the social media site X – formerly known as Twitter to petition for the blond hunk to join the group.
One user penned: “Seeing Marvin Humes teach Sam Thompson JLS dance routines isn’t what I thought I needed in my life on a Monday night.” Another gushed: “Petition to get Sam Thompson on stage for the JLS reunion tour.”
A third echoed: “Sam Thompson, the newest member of JLS.” Fans will have to stay tuned to see if the radio host will be ditching his day job to join the hit boyband in the new year.
