ITV I’m A Celebrity star Danny Jones’ game plan rumbled as fans left fuming

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! viewers fumed as they believed they rumbled McFly’s Danny Jones’ game plan on the show as he made it to the final six campmates

Danny Jones has riled I’m A Celebrity viewers as they believed they cracked his game plan.

The McFly singer is in the final six of this year’s series as the camp said goodbye to Barry McGuigan and Maura Higgins on Thursday night. However, fans of the show have pointed out Danny has sailed through quite easy compared to his campmates. During Friday night’s episode, the camp had to pick two celebrities to take on an eating trial.

Reverend Richard Coles and Coleen Rooney ended up volunteering themselves for the task to try to secure stars for camp. Dancing On Ice judge Oti Mabuse offered to take part, yet Coleen insisted she would give it ago. Many viewers noticed Danny didn’t offer to take part in the trial, which isn’t the first time.

Fans thought he could be showing his game plan to get through the show without doing so many grueling challenges. One viewer said: “Has danny ever offered to do a trial #ImACeleb.” Another added: “I love Danny to bits but he never puts himself forward for the trials. Oti and Richard especially put themselves forward a lot, but Danny just isn’t doing enough for my liking.”

Someone else commented: “I’m surprised Danny has not volunteered more?” A fourth wrote: “Bit of a lack of volunteers there for the trial, people need to step up if they want to win. Where was Danny, GK and Alan?” One viewer pointed out: “How Danny hasn’t offered to do a trial in ages.”

Despite seemingly making things easier for himself by not taking on the trials, Danny has won over a legion of fans and is favourite to be crowned King of the Jungle. During last night’s episode, fans admitted they were in tears after Danny, 38, open up about his relationship with his dad.

Danny revealed to Oti that he wanted to change his middle name, which he got from his dad. However, the musician shared that his dad doesn’t speak to him, and admitted: “It’s just weird because I don’t feel I’ve really healed with it maybe.” He then shared that fellow campmate Barry McGuigan, 63, was serving as a father figure to him in the jungle – just moments before Barry was evicted.

“You can go to therapy, but you still crave your dad and that’s what’s hard. That’s why I get so much satisfaction out of Barry,” he said. Oti agreed: “I can see that and that’s why he’s so protective over you, like a scorpion.” Danny explained that his dad was his best friend, but things quickly changed: “When he left us, that’s when I had to grow up real fast, I bought my mum’s house. I was 18 years old, I bought myself a flat in London and I bought my mum’s house, and I put my sister through university.”
