John Barrowman has admitted he has a crush on Harry Redknapp’s son Jamie.
The comedian said I’m A Celebrity winner Harry, 71, was lost for words when he confessed to having the hots for his son.
It was revealed in the jungle that campmate Emily Atack had a little soft spot for Jamie and now, John – who is happily married to husband Scott – said Jamie is his celeb crush.

Speaking to The Sun, John said: “He’s hot. He’s totally hot. When people say ‘who’s your celeb crush?’, I’d say ‘Jamie Redknapp.’
John bagged third place on last year’s I’m A Celebrity and Emily became runner-up, leaving Harry taking the crown.
When asked if he would play matchmaker for Emily and Jamie, John added: “If she [Emily] wanted to pursue that, she could. It could be awkward though because I know Louise [Jamie’s ex-wife].”
Emily made no secret about fancying Jamie in the jungle.
However, after leaving the jungle, Harry said he thought Emily didn’t have a “chance” with Jamie because of the way she looked in the jungle – before adding that she “scrubbed up” well after leaving.
He then had a change of heart after seeing Emily all glammed up during the I’m A Celebrity – Coming Out show.
Last month, Jamie was asked about Emily during an interview on talkSPORT radio.
Jamie was asked if it was more likely that Liverpool would win the Champion’s League or if he would take Emily on a date.
Jamie, 45, coyly replied: “Leave it out! She’s a very nice girl, isn’t she? Let’s leave it at that.”
During an appearance on Capital FM Breakfast show at the time, Emily admitted she felt sorry for Jamie.
