I'm A Celebrity's Gillian McKeith and Shaun Ryder are now 'more than buds'

I'm A Celebrity foes turned friends Gillian McKeith and Shaun Ryder are now "more than buds" according to the Happy Mondays singer. The pair appeared on Monday morning's episode of Lorraine on ITV having been booted off the All Stars version of the show filmed in South Africa.

Stand-in host Ranvir Singh commented on the pair's closeness and said they looked like more than mates, reports the Daily Star.

Bringing up their former row, Shaun explained: "I never had a rift really." Ranvir replied: "Oh, c'mon."

Gillian laughed: "Now we're like buds." To which Shaun cheekily responded: "We're more than buds come on."

"Now I feel like a gooseberry," Ranvir responded. Host Ranvir then brought up Gillian's contraband controversy, after she snuck in spices and almonds.

Gillian explained: "I wanted to spice up the meals because we were eating burned rice every day, I just wanted to get near the cooking so I could spice it up again."

Shaun added: "I knew she'd be up to it, I didn't expect Gillian to come in with nothing, she is a grafter." Gillian continued: "The first day I had the double bra, with everything inside, took the chicken fillet out and stuffed it all in there.

"And the second time, with the knickers, I had the very smooth material in the secret pockets I designed but it was all undetectable because we were searched in there."

Fans at home joined in on the fun and took to Twitter to share their thoughts on their ITV appearance. One wrote: "Shaun Ryder and Gillian McKeith are about to announce their getting hitched, aren't they?"
