Jamie Lomas hasn’t ruled out a romance on ‘I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here’.
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ star has been "single for quite a while now" and wouldn’t mind enjoying a little fling when he heads into the jungle as he is a "sucker for a pretty face".
He said: "I’ve been single for quite a while now. You just never know who you’re going to meet in there, and that’s the fun part of the show. I’ve always gone for the wrong women, but I like someone who likes a good laugh and I’m a sucker for a pretty face."
And Jamie – who has six-year-old daughter Polly with his ex-wife, ‘Coronation Street’ star Kym Marsh – has revealed Kym is supporting him on the show by letting Polly stay up to see her dad take part in the reality series.
He added to The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Polly will definitely be watching. Kym will be making her watch it. She’s super excited. I think leaving your kids behind is the hardest part. I think that’s the case for any parent, but I just want to make them proud."
Meanwhile, bosses are reportedly keen to get a romance brewing between Jamie and one of his fellow housemates.
A source said: "This is a really exciting time for him. He can’t wait to get into the camp, meet his campmates and get stuck into the challenges. He isn’t daunted by any of the trials at the moment, but let’s see what happens when he gets out there …
"Jamie is a good-looking single guy so they are hoping sparks will fly with one of the single girls in the camp. There will be plenty of gorgeous girls in there he could end up hitting it off with. And the bosses know viewers love a jungle romance. Jamie is a really down-to-earth, funny bloke but also doesn’t suffer fools. So they think he’s a great signing."
