I’m a Celebrity romance hots up between Cerys and Marc

Cerys Matthews and Marc Bannerman are getting so close she has started feeding him and tucking him into bed.

The Welsh singer and ex EastEnders actor have been flirting for days in the Australian jungle on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

Matthews hinted to Anna Ryder Richardson that she was worried about how their relationship was being perceived. But the designer said: “He’s just a very good friend. You’ve not done anything. “He is just a very good friend forever.”

Meanwhile a close friend of the singer has appeared on GMTV to defend her actions. Sarah Gowland dismissed the romance as a close friendship.

She told GMTV: “I think they are great friends and it’s nice to see she’s got a good friend in there for support. “She is a very friendly person. I think she is doing a great job. I don’t think she knows he (Bannerman) has a girlfriend, as he hasn’t actually spoken to Cerys about it.”The family are really proud of her. She is coming across really well.”

She added that she would “maybe” like to see the pair get together, if he was single.

Bannerman’s girlfriend Sarah Matravers has flown to Australia to confront him over his behaviour. Matthews, Bannerman and Ryder Richardson had some time out from the campsite when they took part in the Bush Battle.

Tied to a post, they were forced to hold onto a pole for as long as possible - or risk being covered in vomit-scented gunk. Matthews was the first to let go, before Bannerman gave in leaving Ryder Richardson immune from eviction.

It was a day of drama for the campers as ex-footballer Rodney Marsh slipped while out collecting logs for the fire, injuring his knee.

He spent a night in hospital but was soon back in camp enjoying being looked after by his fellow contestants. Supermodel Janice Dickinson and Five star J had the ride of their life during the Uneasy Rider bushtucker trial.

The pair had to drive a motorbike 100ft over a ravine and bash down stars. “I’m not good at driving,” admitted Dickinson so J took to the wheel and they managed to secure ten out of eleven stars. “I just really loved it. I really enjoyed it,” J said afterwards.

The cheeky pair pretended they had come back empty-handed before admitting they had won ten meals for camp.
