Oti Mabuse's husband, Marius Lepure, has revealed that the families and friends of the jungle celebs have created a secret group chat. Marius appeared on the Lorraine show, where he spilled the beans on what goes on behind the scenes while their loved ones are facing the gruesome Bushtucker trials.
He shared on the show: “We have the WhatsApp group, ‘the real celebs’.” Laughing, he added: “I don’t know why it’s called that, but we are having so much fun, we are bonding so well, and we are getting to know each other. We talk about the show the whole time.
“We try to analyse what’s going to happen, we’re all watching it together every morning here. And then we are trying to see what’s going to happen and how the public will vote, which is very surprising and good for the show.”
Marius also taught Danny McFly's mum how to dance while the relatives gathered in anticipation of meeting their loved ones in the jungle.

Marius replied: “She is so funny, I mean we have so many moments here in the lobby when we’re waiting for them. When they come out of the jungle, we are waiting for them, to cheer for them and to celebrate, and of course, we have those 10-15 minutes before where we have time to chat and just have some fun. I did a few dance lessons already.”
Lorraine quipped: “I do think there should be a spin-off show for all the relatives and friends because there’s certainly something, that’s for sure. Just watch this space.”

The mum-of-one admitted she was "nervous" about the task - but also declared as she prepared to take on the trial: “I’m gonna do my best, I’ll do my absolute best.”
Viewers would recognise the trial from week one of the contest - as Dean previously attempted the trial, and failed miserably. Show hosts Ant and Dec asked Oti if she thought she would do better and she said: “Listen, I will never say I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, that is my goal.”
Ant and Dec then introduced Oti to the mummy sarcophagus, which she would be locked into for the duration of the Trial, while having to answer a series of Egypt-related questions. For every question she answered correctly, a star would then be lowered down and she would have to release it using only her mouth within 30 seconds. As the mummy box was opened in order to begin the Trial, Dec joked: “The second time it’s been opened in two thousand years.” Oti found herself on a winning streak as she managed to secure the first six stars.
The star, so far, appears to be good contender for winning the show after eliminated contestants, Tulisa Contostavlos and Melvin Odoom both said, on Lorraine, that they wanted her to win.
