Danny Jones' brutal I'm A Celeb confession - 'it showed me at my worst and I'm glad'

I’m A Celeb winner Danny Jones says he is delighted the show let people see the real him. McFly singer Danny was crowned King of the Jungle last month after surviving three weeks Down Under. And he was elated over viewers’ reactions. Danny, 38, said: “It was just me and my personality at my worst, when I was hungry and tired. So realising you’re loved for your personality was a massive thing. I’ve been protected by ‘Danny from McFly’ as a character, but that’s not the person who goes home and is vulnerable.”.
He added: “What you saw on I’m A Celebrity is the real me. I wasn’t protected by my vocals or my guitar. When I won, I thought, ‘Ah, people understand me’. It was liberating… very empowering.”. The ITV reality show has also brought Danny – who is heading off on a McBusted tour later this year where McFly will go head-to-head with Busted – new opportunities. He said: “I was meant to take some time off. I thought, ‘I’ll just chill out. I’ve got a sold-out tour, nothing to promote… that’s great’. But no, ITV had other ideas. I’m going to talk to them and see what I could do. I want to have fun on TV, maybe presenting. I like to be with people.”.
Dad-of-one Danny, who has also been a coach on The Voice Kids since it first aired in 2017, admits it has taken him a while to find his TV comfort zone. He said: “I used to be scared of live TV. I’d think, ‘Ooh, I’d better not say the wrong thing’, and was always reliant on my band to talk. But after The Voice Kids, I realised my personality is alright.”.
