He might have been the least known of all the campmates on this year’s I’m A Celeb, but Jordan North managed to quickly win over viewers with his dopey charm, terrified meltdowns and quirky personality.
“Never in a million years did I think I’d be in the final two,” he admitted. “I feel fantastic, I couldn’t have lost to anyone better than Gi. She totally deserved it, and she’s the most genuine, kindest person I’ve ever met.
“We all needed her at some point, and that’s a great thing.”
Radio DJ Jordan, 30, arguably had the biggest journey of all the campmates, but from the moment he was sick off the side of a cliff edge, he’d won viewers’ hearts.
“I can’t believe it, from where I started to making it to the end, just watching it all back – I’d forgotten a lot of it!” he said.
“I had a bit of a wobble before I came in, but I’ve 100 per cent changed as a person. Stupidly I thought I could get away with avoiding doing any trials.”
And by the end he was more than comfortable with the snakes and cockroaches he was initially so terrified of.

Keke Palmer
FROM ACTING TO SINGING TO REALITY TV, KEKE PALMER DOES IT ALL. "I just always was attracted to people that did multiple things," Palmer tells Newsweek, saying artists like Jamie Foxx and Queen Latifah were early inspirations. Now she's out with the hotly anticipated Jordan Peele film Nope (July 22). "When people think about Get Out or Jordan's work, they can sometimes zero in on, 'Oh, this is a think piece on Blackness." She says there's always an element of that, but "They're not always on Blackness," and Nope is a perfect example of that. It's part horror, part sci-fi, part thriller and part comedy. "His choice to put Black people in the lead is just based off his perspetive of who he sees in his story." Since starting out as a child actor, Palmer says the quality of work she's receiving has only gotten better. "To have evolved to the place where the variety of who I get to work with is this level, I think it's only going to bring the best out of me." Case in point, starring alongside Daniel Kaluuya in a Jordan Peele film. "There's only one Jordan Peele."
