JORDAN Banjo has described his I’m A Celeb co-star Myleene Klass as “beautiful, inside and out”.
The Diversity dancer, 30, was teased about rumours of an “affair” with the 45-year-old by his trouble-making radio co-host, Perri Kiely.

Jordan is in fact happily married to his wife Naomi Courts, who recently gave birth to their third child.
But that didn’t stop Perri stirring the pot on their KissFM breakfast show who pointed out Jordan, 30, was no longer wearing his wedding ring.
Speaking about his campmate Myleene after he finished in second place on the show, Jordan admitted he had been “surprised” most by her.
“She is one tough cookie,” he said.
“Honestly, I couldn’t be prouder of her. I’d only known her a couple of weeks really but she smashed everything that came her way.
“She was beautiful inside and out.
“She helped me through loads of stuff, helped me through the trials. Hats off to her man.”
Fans were in hysterics at Perri‘s wind-up after he said he had his suspicions after Jordan saved Myleene from elimination before sharing a long hug and holding hands.
“He’s just pointed at me with his left hand,” said Perri on his radio show this week.
“I’ve noticed something a bit weird this morning.. he’s not wearing his wedding ring.”
He also went on to play clips of Myleene and Jordan together in the South African jungle.
Jordan blasted: “You and producer Jake are snakes. You’ve edited that.”
He explained: “I went boxing yesterday and had to take my wedding ring off and forgot to put it back on.”
Perri jokingly replied: “Taking all that anger out? A lot going on at home is there?”
“Oh shut up,” laughed Jordan, who didn’t appear to be offended by the grilling.
“There is no rumour. It’s you being stupid,” he insisted.
Myleene was crowned I’m A Celebrity South Africa’s first ever legend after her iconic white bikini moment.
