I’m A Celebrity viewers couldn’t contain their emotions after Danny Jones' heartbreaking moment when he reunited with his family.

During Friday’s (December 6) episode of the ITV reality show, the remaining six campmates were treated with a huge surprise as their friends and family visited camp.

Things took an emotional turn for Danny as his wife Georgia and son Cooper surprised the McFly singer and admitted that he ‘didn’t want to let them go’.

While waiting to reunite with his dad, Cooper said: “I’m really excited to see my dad!” As Georgia added: “He’s been doing amazing, he said he wanted to make you proud didn’t he, and show you how to be brave. We think he’s achieved that.”

As Danny came around the corner to see his wife and son, he couldn’t believe his eyes. Fighting back tears, he dropped down to give Cooper and Georgia a big joint hug. It appeared Cooper had gotten emotional too, as Danny asked him whilst they hugged: “Are you crying happy tears as well?”

Taking a seat, he told them: “That was such a shock! Look at me!” An emotional Danny said: “That was the best surprise I think I’ve ever had in my life, just an amazing feeling.”

Cooper told his dad: “Luckily you haven’t been voted out yet!” As Danny asked “Have you been telling everyone at school to vote for me?” As Cooper nodded.

Georgia said to Danny whilst looking at Cooper: “He’s doing a smashing job isn’t he, sweetheart? We’re very proud. We’ve been watching non-stop haven’t we?”

Speaking about standout moments, Georgia told him: “You as a pencil!” With Cooper in his arms, he told her and Georgia: “Honestly this place is an amazing place, even though it’s been challenging. It just makes you realise how much you love people and you put stuff into perspective.”

Saying their goodbyes, Cooper hugged his dad tight for one last time as he said: “I don’t wanna let go!” Viewers watching at home were left feeling emotional at the reunion and wasted no time sharing their reaction on social media.
