Since entering the Australian jungle on Sunday, McFly star Danny Jones has emerged as the bookies’ frontrunner to win I’m A Celebrity 2024.

The singer, 38, jumped out of a helicopter and took part in the series’ first ever BushTucker Trial in the show’s opening episode.

And he couldn’t do it without the support of his loving wife Georgia Horsley, 37, and their six-year-old son Cooper.

Danny had been dating Georgia for four years when he proposed to her in 2013 on holiday in Cyprus.

The couple, who share regular updates of their family life on social media, tied the knot in August 2014 and welcomed their son in 2018.

Since entering the Australian jungle on Sunday, McFly star Danny Jones has emerged as the bookies’ frontrunner to win I’m A Celebrity 2024

And he couldn’t do it without the support of his loving wife Georgia Horsley and their six-year-old son Cooper

Georgia, who was was born in Malton, North Yorkshire, became deaf in her right ear following a bout of meningitis as a two-year-old.

Speaking on her condition, she previously said: ‘At school it was sometimes difficult. You don’t want anything that makes you different but when I struggled to hear I’d get put to the front of the class and I would ask a lot of questions because I hadn’t heard everything.

‘There was one girl who would call me “stupid” because I kept asking questions. But I did have a great group of friends and they’d stick up for me.’

She worked as a florist and a model during her youth but in 2007, at the age of 21, she won Miss England and spoke out about her deafness.

As well as talking about how the pageant committee had asked her to ‘fatten up’ to demonstrate that participants weren’t anorexic.

Later she entered Miss World and was one of the last 18 finalists during the China-held contest.

She now has a successful modelling career doing television adverts, magazine work and catwalks.

On Sunday, Danny’s son Cooper was completely mesmerised as he watched his father enter the jungle.

The McFly star, 38, jumped out of a helicopter and took part in the series’ first ever BushTucker Trial in the show’s opening episode.

And supporting from home, Danny’s wife Georgia, 37, shared an adorable video of Cooper, six, watching him on the television from their living room.

Former Miss England winner Georgia and their son Cooper are both due to fly out to Australia in support of the star.

Georgia captioned her post: ‘Little boy was so excited to see his dad.’

Danny has taken his guitar into I’m A Celebrity as his luxury item which his son drew a family portrait on with the words, ‘We love you Daddy’ scrawled across.

Danny has started the ITV show being the bookies’ favourite to be crowned this year’s King of the Jungle with the odds 2-1.

When asked why he thought that was, Danny beamed and shouted: ‘Because McFly fans are awesome.’

It is the power of the noughties pop band which ITV insiders are sure will see win this year’s I’m A Celeb having also seen his popularity as a coach on their talent show, The Voice.

The star power that comes with being a member of McFly should not be underestimated with tried and tested magic to help Danny beat the likes of super WAG Coleen Rooney and N-Dubz’s Tulisa.

Beloved among thousands of McFly fans as a heartthrob, Danny is to be a sure hit in the Jungle as he joined the likes of Coleen Rooney and former X-Factor judge Tulisa 

Danny, along with Harry Judd, Dougie Poynter and Tom Fletcher, launched their group in 2003 off of the back of Busted who were in the process of splitting.

And now, thanks to the loyalty of their huge fanbase who are now women in their late 20s and early 30s are exactly the right demographic to vote for their jungle favourite.

An ITV source told MailOnline: ‘Danny is a golden ticket of a signing for I’m A Celebrity.

‘He’s done spectacular work as a judge on the Voice. Everyone is so pleased with him – he’s a brilliant mentor and has a winner’s energy and, of course, the fans go wild for him.’

Indeed, there is already evidence. Dougie was crowned jungle king in 2011, while Tom’s wife, the influencer Giovanna Fletcher won in 2020.

Meanwhile, Harry won Strictly Cone Dancing in 2011 too. According to BBC insiders, it was ‘by a country mile’ and they praised McFly fans for their support.

And, in 2006, Busted singer Matt Willis won the show. Since then, McFly and Busted have teamed up to create a band named McBusted.

It comes after a snake went up into Danny’s shorts on the first episode of I’m A Celebrity on Sunday night 

The Voice judge was forced to unzip his shorts as the reptile surprised Danny while he took part in The Mausoleum of Misery trial along with former boxer Barry McGuigan

For Danny, winning the ITV flagship show would make it a hat trick this year after he won the Masked Singer and landed a spot as a judge on the Voice.

‘I’m going for the Pep Guardiola,’ the father-of-one joked.

With his odds at winning I’m A Celebrity currently standing at 2-1, Danny shouted, ‘Come on Jonsey!’ on learning the nation was already behind him.

He jokingly added: ‘I would definitely put all of your mortgage on me.’

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues on Tuesday at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX
