I’m A Celeb Coming Out viewers in bits seeing Andy Whyment cry as he reunites with his kids

They missed their dad

Fans of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! got to see the campmates’s emotional reunions with their loved ones in the Coming Out show.

Aired last night (13.12.19), the programme showed DJ Adele Roberts treated to a video message from her hero, Jane McDonald, and American reality star Caitlyn Jenner in tears during a FaceTime call with daughter Kendall.

But it was Andy Whyment’s reunion with his wife and kids that had viewers at home bawling their eyes out.

In I’m A Celebrity Coming Out, the Coronation Street veteran met his wife Nicola shortly after crossing the bridge, and as he hugged her he said: “I missed you so much! Babe I love you.”

The pair were then shown in a car and Andy admitted: “I’m just glad everyone’s proud of me. It just feels mad, can’t believe I came second. I’m never doing anything like this again.”

I’m just glad everyone’s proud of me.

Nicola told him: “I’m not letting you!”

The programme then cut to the moment Andy was reunited with his children, Thomas and Hollie.

Upon seeing them, he burst out crying and they ran into his open arms.

Another wrote, with a crying face emoji: “Why is Andy so cute?”

Andy got to the final of this year’s series alongside DJ Roman Kemp and ex EastEnders actress Jacqueline Jossa.

Roman was the first of the three eliminated and later, viewers chose Jacqueline as their Jungle Queen.

Voting figures released by ITV showed it to be a narrow victory though, with the former soap star winning by a margin of just 1.22 per cent.
