Peter, who shares daughter Princess, 15, and son Junior, 17, with Katie, appeared on This Morning today to share memories of his time in the jungle camp.

Asked by host Dermot O'Leary who he had bonded with during his stint in the hit series, Pete's thoughts immediately turned to Katie.

He told Dermot and Alison Hammond: "Well, I fell in love."

He added: "It was a really interesting show."

Katie, 44, and Peter, 49, fell head over heels for each other during their time in the TV jungle.

The pair tied the knot a year after leaving I'm A Celeb and their romance lasted five years, until they split in 2009.

They have been co-parenting Princess and Junior ever since, but it hasn't always been plain sailing.

Yesterday, Katie hit out at Peter for seemingly leaving her out of a parenting decision over Princess.

She claimed her ex hadn't consulted her over a decision to allow Princess to team up with a fashion brand and advertise its clothes on Instagram.

And last month, Peter took a cheeky swipe at Katie for cutting him out of a photo of him with their kids.

However, Katie recently admitted in an interview that she was also "fixated" on Mysterious Girl singer Pete when they first met.

She said: "I was just fixated on Pete. People saw our relationship develop.

"Having Pete there in the jungle did make it easier because you'd fall asleep thinking of him and wake up seeing him there.

"If you haven't clicked with someone in there I think it's quite hard and lonely.

"It was a proper love story and I think me and Pete are the only ones who had kids come out of it."
