I’m A Celebrity: Ferne McCann wants to hook up with George Shelley… only one reason is stopping her

Ferne McCann wants to get together with fellow I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! campmate George Shelley despite her worries she looks double his age.

The Only Way Is Essex star has made no secret of her attraction to the Union J singer but she does have one reservation - his youthful appearance.

However, it doesn’t seem it’s going to stop her fancying the former X Factor contestant any time soon.

Speaking in camp, Ferne said: “I don’t care about money, status, I just want my prince. Maybe I could marry George in here.

“If I was ever to go out with someone like George, I think I’d look double his age. When I get glammed up and when he shaves his stubble...”

Former pop star Tony Hadley mocked the reality favourite, saying: “I love you, ‘when I get glammed up’... George is only 22.”

Ferne hit back: “Yeah, but I’m 25!”

When it was suggested by Tony that George may not be ready to be tamed, Ferne seemed delighted, exclaiming: “I’m not ready to settle down!”

Perhaps Ferne can cheer George up a bit – the musician burst into tears during Saturday night’s episode while chatting to Susannah Constantine.

The star admitted he was finding life in the camp tough and that he didn’t expect to have so much time to think.

He said: “It’s not the challenges, it’s the living... When other people feel like it, it takes my mind off it because I pick them up. But when it’s me, it’s like... I’m not here to be a celebrity, I’m just here to have fun.

“So I’m having fun doing the challenges and stuff but that’s 10 minutes of the day. The rest of it is all this and it’s just bringing me down.”
