Here's everything you need to know...
When did Nick Knowles reach number one on the Itunes chart?
Nick Knowles reached number one on the Itunes chart in December 2018.
The success came after Chris Moyles played the track on his Radio X show and encouraged listeners to download it.
In November the track managed to reach number 32 in the Vodaphone Big Top 40 chart.
The Adele cover is from the album Every Kind Of People which only reached number 92 in the album chart when it was released in 2017.
How did Nick Knowles react to his chart success?
Nick Knowles found out about his Itunes chart success in a letter from son TJ.
The letter was read out to him while he was in the I'm A Celebrity jungle.
Speaking afterwards in the Bush telegraph Nick Knowles said: "If it's true it's very lovely. Thank you everybody. It's very difficult to believe but very lovely."
As the news sunk in he said the next day “Number one in the iTunes, I can’t get over that! It’s ridiculous.”
He also serenaded his camp mates by singing and playing guitar.
Nick's sons defended the criticism their dad's singing received on Twitter but Charles admitted: "He's definitely better at the guitar than he is at singing."
On December 7 he revealed he will donate all the profits from his No.1 single to charity.

Could Nick Knowles get to Christmas number one?
Nick had been in the running for a Christmas number one.
Fellow I'm A Celeb camp mate The Vamps star James McVey said: “We found out last night that is apparently number one of the iTunes charts with one of his singles. Amazing! I’m over the moon for him.
“But, some may say he’s singing more now after hearing the news. Is he going for the Christmas number one? Who knows.”
Unfortunately, Christmas number 1 went to Ladbaby with his version of "We built this city."
