I’m A Celeb South Africa: The truth behind Jordan Banjo and Myleene Klass 'affair' rumours revealed

I’m A Celeb South Africa crowned Myleene Klass as the first-ever legend of the jungle. The final trial saw Myleene compete with Jordan before being crowned the winner of the show. The two appeared to have formed a good friendship on the show and that’s what probably led Jordan’s pal Perri Kiely to tease him about an alleged fling.

During their recent KissFM episodes, Perri accused Jordan of ‘fancying’ Myleene and also joked about how his wedding ring is off his hand.

Jordan Banjo and Myleene Klass’ ‘alleged’ affair

The Diversity dancer saved Myleene from elimination and gave her a long hug as he held her hands and that raised Perri’s suspicion about Jordan’s feelings. The Sun confirmed that Perri even pointed out that Jordan doesn’t have his wedding ring. He said on the show:

Yesterday we addressed the recent I'm A Celeb rumour that Jordan is having an affair with fellow campmate Myleene Klass.

I've noticed something a bit weird this morning...He's not wearing his wedding ring.

Before Jordan could say anything, Perri - who will make a comeback to BGT with Diversity - played a few clips of Myleene and Jordan together in the South African jungle. Jordan blasted:

You and producer Jake are snakes. You've edited that.

The star then went on to explain that he went boxing a day before and that’s why the ring is off his hand. He added:

There is no rumour. It's you being stupid.

Myleene’s reaction to the affair rumours

Many fans realised it was a healthy joke between two friends as they defended Jordan - who is happily married to Naomi Courts. One fan said:

Chill out, people. Friends winding each other up; that's why it's funny. Think we all know zero truth to it.

Meanwhile, Myleene confirmed that she bonded really well with Jordan, confirmed The Sun. Myleene said:

Jordan and I went through a lot together. I bonded really well with Jordan.

Myleene then also praised the rest of her I’m A Celeb campmates as she spoke about her time in the jungle.
