In this week's episode, host Alex Legouix takes author, presenter and winner of I'm a Celebrity, Giovanna Fletcher around the village where she grew up in Ingatestone, Essex.
Giovanna said: “He wrote it in ten minutes for me on the toilet apparently. So, Valentine's Day was coming up and he hadn't got me anything. So he thought ‘Just write her a song’...
"At the time, the boys were living in a band house, and Danny had a studio so he literally just went down and made a little demo of this song, all acapella, like a male harmony group if you like but it was all Tom doing these different parts. And then he handed it to me for Valentine's Day.
“And then after that, Comic Relief got in touch and asked McFly to do the Comic Relief single this year and asked if they had anything that would work? And Tom was like, ‘Well, if my girlfriend doesn't mind this might work.’ They absolutely loved it and it turned into a huge, huge song, raising millions for Comic Relief.”
Giovanna also shared how she met her pop star husband at Sylvia Young Theatre School in their teens and how he proposed in the hall where they’d first met.
On meeting husband Tom and the proposal, she said: "McFly were filming a documentary for Channel 5. It was McFly on the Wall and Tom had messaged me one day and said, as a part of it, they want us to go back to all of our old schools but seeing as, you and I went there together, they were wondering if you wanted to come with me…
"I was like, yeah, great. What a lovely idea. So I went along and not one part of me thought it was going to be a proposal, like not one part. I can remember I got to the school and I think he texted me saying, go around to the back door.
“The old building was a building site; walls have been knocked down. It was dusty. So I got there and the back door was on the latch. And I opened it and I could instantly see candles and petals. So I just shut the door. I was like, Oh my God, what's going on?
“I walked in and there were candles everywhere, rose petals scattered amongst all the dust, it was the most beautiful thing ever. And then Tom stood in what would have been Studio One where I met Tom on my first day at Sylvia's and he'd gone to the spot where we met and it was all set up so that he proposed in Studio One, in the spot where we first met.”
