The 56-year-old Alfie Moon actor did the move, where he splays his fingers over his face, during the live portion of the first episode.

Christie posted a picture of it on Instagram, writing: "Shane’s special signal to the children, telling them he loves them."

She added the hashtags: "#love #daddy #husband" as well as: "#soproud #hecanbequitefunnysometimes."

Shane has five children, including three - 14-year-old Mackenzie Blue, 12-year-old Lolita Bell and nine-year-old Romani-Skye Angel - with Christie.

Fans were delighted to learn about his secret signal, with one writing: "Adorable & typical of Shane keeping that connection with his kids while he’s in the castle."

Another wrote: "How lovely. He was great last night. Very funny. 👍."

Shane was chosen, alongside Jordan North, to do the first trial of the series, involving a coffin filled with snakes.
