EXCLUSIVEI’m A Celeb star Danny Jones’ mother Kathy lands in Australia to support her son as she shares her first thoughts on his jungle stint

Danny Jones’s mother, Kathy, has arrived in Brisbane Airport to support him on in the I’m A Celebrity jungle and will greet him off the bridge when he leaves.

With backing from McFly’s die-hard fans, the frontman has been the favourite to win the show and Kathy gushed over her son’s successful jungle stint.

She told 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.’

The mother-of-two revealed that she hadn’t heard from his bandmates personally but she had seen their videos on social media and loved them.

Kathy touched down sporting a Bruce Springsteen band T-shirt with a pair of black flared trousers, with a statement belt and orange bag.

She added a white cap and a pair of big black shades to the look, while also adding a pair of silver hoop earrings to finish it off. 

Her arrival in Australia comes after Danny, 38, broke down in tears as he opened up about his life-long anxiety during Wednesday night’s episode.

Danny was overcome with emotion as he discussed his mental health with his campmates, admitting he has had therapy since he was 19-years-old.

Fans praised the star for being so honest and open about his mental health, after Strictly’s Oti Mabuse, 34, stressed the importance of men talking about their feelings.

During the very emotional chat, Oti was brought to tears as she revealed her half-brother Neo committed suicide and admitted he probably would still be alive if ‘he had spoken to someone about what he was feeling’.

She told 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'

Explaining that one of his tattoos says ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy’, Danny said: ‘It’s because I’m always constantly worrying, but that’s what I’m working on.

‘I’ve been in therapy since I was 19 for anxiety.’

Danny recalled a moment where he had a panic attack on live TV while being interviewed.

He said: I was freaking out and I couldn’t answer the question that got asked to me. [My] Heartrate goes crazy.’

As Jane asked whether he thought he had anxiety from a child or from being in a band, he said: ‘I think I escaped a lot.’

It comes after Danny’s wife has revealed the star ‘double bluffed’ viewers by telling I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here bosses a cheeky fib.

He secured eight stars for his campmates on Friday when he took on the High Street Of Horrors Bushtucker Trial, with his wife Georgia, 37, now saying his supposed ‘fears are bull****.’ 

Speaking with Hannah Cooper on the Never Have I Ever podcast, she revealed how Danny told the show’s boss he was was afraid of snakes before entering the jungle. 

However Georgia admitted: ‘He’s lied, and he said he’s scared of snakes. Bulls***. World exclusive: bulls***. So, everyone vote for the tasks that don’t involve snakes, please!

‘He’s not scared of snakes, but he said he is – that’s a double bluff.’ 

She added: ‘So, he’s now going to get tasks with snakes… I think they think Danny’s a really genuine guy!

‘The only problem with Danny is he’s not great when he’s hungry or tired, and he’s going to be hungry and tired.’

Elsewhere, Georgia also revealed she had hard time picking out Danny’s luxury items for the show and hasn’t chosen what he would himself. 

She explained: ‘Because if I tell you this, this man has never fussed so much over the fact that he can’t tape his mouth in the jungle.

‘He tapes his mouth at night. He tapes his mouth. It’s meant to have many, many health benefits… It’s literally like a piece of gaffer tape. It’s like a mᴀssive plaster of your lips.’ 

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