I'm A Celebrity's Nadine Coyle talks romance with 'passionate' ex Jesse Metcalfe

I'm A Celebrity 2019 campmate Nadine Coyle has opened up about her past romances, including when she dated Desperate Housewives actor Jesse Metcalfe.

The Girls Aloud singer spoke to her campmates Adele Roberts and Jacqueline Jossa about her love life.

She surprised Adele, who had no idea she'd dated Jesse, who played hunky gardener John Rowland in the American series.

Nadine detailed how they met, as she called the John Tucker Must Die actor "passionate and fun".

She said: "I’ve always had long term relationships and my first boyfriend and I broke up because we had been together between 15 and 20 (years old) and we were like brother and sister.

“My second boyfriend was an actor and I’d fancied him from TV.

"I used to think he is so gorgeous and I was doing an interview and it was one of those ‘who do you fancy’ things and I said the gardener from Desperate Housewives.”

It's then that Adele realised who she meant and asked: “You went out with Jesse Metcalfe? I didn’t know, oh that’s amazing.”

Nadine confirmed he was her ex, before revealing all about their first meeting and their two and a half year long romance.

She said: "Yes I met him out we had a great night, it was just like everything was right.

"He came over to me and I thought, woo you smell amazing. I went out to the bathroom and he came behind me and pulled me back and said you are going into the men’s.

"It wasn’t, it was the ladies but he said he just want to say something to me.

“I went to go and he said, can I come with you and I said yeah, you can.

"He left everyone he was with. We had a great time, he was really passionate and fun, we went out for two and a half years. Physically he was my ideal man.”

I'm A Celebrity airs nightly at 9pm on ITV, followed by Extra Camp on ITV2.
