The comment sparked laughter before they swiftly moved on. The episode also delivered an emotional moment as Barry McGuigan confided in his fellow campmates about the heart-wrenching loss of his daughter Danika to bowel cancer.
Barry McGuigan has opened up about the devastating loss of his daughter in 2019, who passed away just five weeks after being diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer. He shared a heart-wrenching memory: "She had leukaemia, when I was making [The Boxer] with Daniel Day Lewis, three weeks from the end I had to leave because she'd been diagnosed with leukaemia, they thought she wasn't going to get better but she fought back and she won it. She had two years of chemo."
As he reminisced about his brave daughter, Barry couldn't hold back tears, prompting his fellow campmates to rush to his side with Danny and N-Dubz's Tulisa offering him a warm embrace.
