He said: “It's going to be very hard being away from my girlfriend, it's the longest we've ever gone without speaking.

“I can't wait to get back to her, she's going to come out half way through. Depending on where I come I might see her in a couple of weeks.

“I'll wear my bracelet to show I'm thinking of her - she got me that."

James has been with the 22-year-old model for two-and-a-half years.

The two started dating in late 2014 before splitting and reuniting a year later.

Discussing his upcoming appearance in the jungle,  James admitted he was feeling pretty nervous and is scared of spiders.

He said: "I'm a bit nervous about entering the jungle, but I'm looking forward to it as it's a challenge, it's going to be good hopefully. I'm scared of spiders, but apart from that it should be fine.

“I don't know what I've signed myself up to!”
