The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! friends and family let their hair down on Wednesday night as they partied at their lavish H๏τel ahead of the first vote off.
The huge group of the star’s nearest and dearest were all smiles as they gathered together in a H๏τel bar for a group pH๏τo along with ITV crew members.
Taking to Instagram, GK Barry’s manager Hannah Holland shared the fun snap as she was seen enjoying a glᴀss of wine while wrapping her arm around Danny Jones’ mum Kathy.
Coleen Rooney’s parents Colette and Anthony looked in high spirits as they were joined by Jane Moore’s daughters Ellie and Grace and Oti Mabuse’s husband Marius Lapure.
Tulisa’s two friends Michelle McKenna and Daniel Johnson were all smiles as they gathered together along with Alan Halsall’s pal Stephen and Dean McCullough’s mum Ann.

Noticeably Barry McGuigan, Melvin Odoom, Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles’ families were missing from the pH๏τo and it is believe they have not yet arrived Down Under.
It comes days before the first celebrity will exit the jungle and will be reunited on the famous ITV bridge with their loved-ones.
As the families landed Down Under, Oti’s husband Marius told MailOnline at the airport that he thinks it is a good thing she hasn’t had much airtime.
He said: ‘I think she has enough. I don’t think it’s a good thing to stick out. I think it’s about the whole group, there are different situations and challenges.’
Marius said he had been voting for his wife but he couldn’t wait to meet her off the bridge, ‘As you can imagine and the baby cannot wait.’
Speaking about how he felt about Oti going into the Jungle and leaving him to look after their daughter, the professional dancer said: ‘We were discussing this for the best part of a few years.
‘She always said she would love to do it. I teach kids because we have a dance studio so I’m used to looking after them and we have the best help with her family and my parents.’
The father-of-one said it had been ‘so nice looking after the little one’ and revealed: ‘She’s been sleeping so well, we actually couldn’t get out of the plane because she was still sleeping. [They took about an hour to come off the plane].’
Meanwhile Kathy gushed over her son’s successful jungle stint, telling MailOnline: ‘Danny’s amazing, he’s doing amazing. I loved the snake down his trousers and it’s really unusual of him not to wash his pants for three days, he’s usually very hygienic.’
Hannah also shared a snap of three of the women enjoying a glᴀss of prosecco at 10am by the lavish swimming pool

As the families arrived Down Under, Oti’s husband Marius told MailOnline that he thinks it is a good thing the star hasn’t had much airtime as carried their 13-month-old daughter through the airport
Meanwhile Kathy gushed over her son’s successful jungle stint, telling MailOnline: ‘Danny’s amazing, he’s doing amazing. I loved the snake down his trousers and it’s really unusual of him not to wash his pants for three days, he’s usually very hygienic.’
‘When he was crying in camp that got me a little bit. I was laughing when there was the snake down his trousers, wetting myself…
‘And then the after I was crying with him, I just wanted to hug him. I don’t like seeing him upset. You don’t like seeing your kids upset do you?
When asked if her son has what it takes to win, she said: ‘Of course, I think he could win. Tulisa and Danny are finalists.
‘He’s the nicest man I know apart from Harry, Danny and Tom [McFly] they’re also really nice.’
Coleen’s parents landed in Australia with her two youngest sons Kit, eight, and Cᴀss, six, while her eldest boys Kai, 15, and Klay, 12, chose to remain in the UK with their father Wayne Rooney, 39, who is also staying home thanks to his job as a manager at Plymouth Argyle.
Beaming, Colette said: ‘She’s amazing. She’s doing really well. We’re so proud. The kids have been really good, to tell you the truth.
‘If they hadn’t been able to see her, it would’ve been different. One of them’s been really quiet and subdued but not much longer now.’
When Coleen arrived at the same airport just two weeks earlier she told of how she had ‘shed a few tears’ after dropping her four sons at school before leaving for her stint in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.
Laughing, Colette revealed she was ‘glad to see the back of the whiteboard’, which her daughter left behind before her departure which had a strict schedule for the grandmother to follow when it came to caring for her boys.

It comes ahead of Thursday night’s episode where Alan, Danny and Dean plunge their heads into fish guts competing in a gag-inducing Bushtucker Trial
The trio were chosen by the pubic and the other campmates, who appear to have been split into three colour coded teams, watch on from the sidelines as hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly explain the rules
When asked if Coleen would have been angry if Colette hadn’t adhered to the instructions, the mother-of-three raised her eyebrows and said: ‘Oh, I followed the whiteboard all right.’
In an Instagram video the night before she left, Coleen explained the extreme lengths she had gone to make sure her sons were ok while she was away in the Australian Jungle for three weeks.
Revealing two huge whiteboards in her dining room, Coleen said she had covered them with her children’s schedules ‘on both sides’.

It comes ahead of Thursday night’s episode where Alan, Danny and Dean plunge their heads into fish guts competing in a gag-inducing Bushtucker Trial.
The trio were chosen by the pubic and the other campmates, who appear to have been split into three colour coded teams, watch on from the sidelines as hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly explain the rules.
In a first look, the trio are tasked with retrieving coins from trays full to the brim with fish guts but the catch is, they can only use their mouths.
Up against a three-minute time limit, they must also transfer the offal-drenched coins into their team’s deposit boxes for the win to be valid.
Perpetually terrified radio presenter Dean looks immediately alarmed at the premise of coming into contact with fish entrails again, telling Ant and Dec: ‘No, I’m not ready’.
But as the sound of the claxon rings, he has no choice but to dunk his head into the briny slop with the others.
Corrie star Alan swiftly and fearlessly secures the first coin, McFly’s Danny Jones grabs the second in quick succession with Dean inevitably trailing behind with the third.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
