I’m A Celebrity stars reunite for festive meal at posh restaurant

Doubtful that kangaroo testicles were on the menu

I’m A Celebrity favourites Harry Redknapp, Nick Knowles, Fleur East and James McVey swapped their corked hats for party hats as they had a bit of a get together yesterday.

The four jungle campmates enjoyed a festive catch up over lunch at a restaurant in Sandbanks, Harry’s super-expensive Dorset stomping ground.

And although it is not known what the ex reality series contestants tucked into during their knees up away from the cameras, it seems unlikely anyone was clamouring for a plate of crocodile anus or any of the other revolting provisions they endured down under.

In images uploaded to Instagram by pop rocker James and DIY SOS presenter Nick, Harry can be seen toasting his famous pals with a large glass of red wine as they pose for the camera.

Smiling widely and apparently on top of the world to be enjoying each other’s company in slightly more luxurious surroundings, all four donned gold party crowns from Christmas crackers.

Another pic from Nick’s social media account shows how the ITV show’s celebs were also joined by several of their nearest and dearest for the meal.

Harry’s beloved wife of over 50 years Sandra can be seen sitting next to her footy legend husband, with his right hand pulling her in tight.

Fleur’s sister Keshia and James’ girlfriend Kirstie Brittain were seated around the table too, with Nick’s adult sons standing behind them.

Nick’s 4-year-old son Edwin was also on hand – and it seems like the youngster could become a fan of The Vamps after hanging out with the band’s front man.

“My youngest at the centre having taken a shine to James,” Nick noted in the pic’s caption.

“Top laughs,” he added, going on to thank ‘Hazza’.

It seems the group continued their day out together after their feed by supporting fellow campmate Rita Simons, currently starring as as the Wicked Queen at the nearby Bournemouth Pavilion.

Revealing they were all off to watch her Sleeping Beauty show, James said: “Belated Christmas lunch with Team Roos + Nick! What a treat. Love these guys.

“Now to see Auntie Rita in Panto.”
