Ant, 46, asked: "We noticed at the last supper you got quite emotional and you were crying.

"You said your life's had a massive turnaround. Would you say your time in the castle has helped you in any way?"

He replied: "A bit" before taking a long pause and adding: "I'd looked at it as..."

Soap veteran Adam, 53, then added: "Oh you got me you bugger."

As Ant looked surprised he went on: "I'd looked at it like it was going to be a start, a new start.

"There's a lot of stuff still going on."

Before going into the castle he raised the prospect that he may not return to the BBC soap, where he has worked since he was a child.

Asked if he would go back Adam said: "To be honest with you, I don’t know the answer. And it’s also not just my decision, it’s a BBC decision.

"There’s lots of factors that come into it. I’m just taking it as it comes along. There’s no plan.”

I'm a Celeb's final will air on ITV at 9pm on Sunday night with the castle crown being contested by the four remaining stars.

David Ginola, Danny Miller, Frankie Bridge and Simon Gregson will compete to be King or Queen of the Castle.

The race is too close to call, with Emmerdale star Danny, 30, the bookies' favourite by a wafer-thin margin.
