I’m A Celebrity’s Jordan Banjo has been a hit with his fellow campmates in this year’s All Stars spin-off, but according to his bandmate Perri Kiely, things haven’t always run so smoothly for the star.
Perri, who launched to fame with Jordan and co-stars in 2009 after their dance troupe Diversity won Britain’s Got Talent, revealed that the pair were constantly pulling “pranks” and “getting told off together”.
The mischievous friends had also been sharing a KISS Breakfast radio show together, but production staff apparently admonished them “every day”.
Perri made his comments about his reality show pal in an exclusive interview for the Express back in 2022.
However, he’s not currently available in the UK to watch Jordan gag and choke his way through gruelling Bush Banquets, featuring “crocodile bum” and “pig anus”.

Instead, Perri released footage on his Instagram account which revealed he was on a “road trip” in the USA.
Before sharing footage of himself at the wheel of a car, he posted a video on his Stories showing off a spectacular view of the city skyline from the floor-to-ceiling windows of his hotel bedroom.
He is accompanied on the trip by his actress and dancer girlfriend Jess Pickles, and after he shared a snap of them together yesterday, Jordan’s brother Ashley praised: “It’s giving main grid energy!”
It’s unknown whether Jordan and Ashley will send footage from the jungle this week as I’m A Celebrity continues to air.
However, he’s known to be extremely close to the pal he rose to fame with, having told Express.co.uk: “Whether we’re dancing or we have a day off, I’ll be at his or he’ll come to mine.
“Literally every single second of every single day is spent together so to find another job [on KISS Radio] that allows us to do that is so cool!”
Meanwhile, yesterday evening, fans were glued to their screens in horror as they watched Jordan reluctantly tucking into a 10-dish “bush banquet” with a predictably nauseating menu.
He had gagged and tried to resist vomiting as he gamely tasted the likes of spaghetti “b*****ksnaise”, consisting of chicken intestines and ostrich testicles.
When Ant and Dec cheerfully urged him to pretend it was a chicken wing, he shot back indignantly: “But it’s not, it’s an a****hole!”
The star, who warned beforehand that he struggled even to eat “lobster at a posh restaurant”, let alone participate in the horror trials, almost vomited while eating pig anus too.
Fortunately, the Diversity prankster has had a strong network supporting him, and brother Ashley told the Express that he is proud of his brother’s efforts.
The action kicks off again tonight at 9pm on ITV, when Myleene Klass will surprise Jordan and campmates with a special appearance.
