I’m A Celeb’s Marvin Humes has backed ‘big softie’ Tony Bellew to be crowned King of the Jungle ahead of Sunday’s final.<\/p>\n
The JLS singer, 38, who became the sixth campmate to be voted out on Friday, praised the boxer for showing his sensitive side in camp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Following Josie Gibson’s exit, Tony, 41, found himself in the final three alongside Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson, 31, and former Brexit party leader Nigel Farage, 59.<\/p>\n
Marvin told The Sun:\u00a0‘Tony’s been afraid to show emotion because he’s always been the tough guy’.<\/p>\n
‘He comes in with this macho persona, no nonsense and cracked on but every day another layer would be peeled away’.<\/p>\n

I’m A Celeb ‘s Marvin Humes, 38, has backed ‘big softie’ Tony Bellew to be crowned King of the Jungle ahead of Sunday’s final<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The JLS singer, 38, who became the sixth campmate to be voted out on Friday , praised the boxer, 41 (pictured) for showing his sensitive side in camp<\/p>\n
Before adding: ‘He has so much emotion. He’s a big softie.’<\/p>\n
However\u00a0Sam Thompson\u00a0currently leads the odds to be crowned King of the Jungle, according to Ladbrokes.<\/p>\n
The bookies make Sam odds-on at 4\/11 to go all the way Down Under, with Tony second in the betting as things stand at 4\/1, ahead of Nigel at 9\/2.<\/p>\n
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: ‘We’re guaranteed a King of the Jungle this year, and while Nigel Farage has been well backed of late, the odds suggest Sam Thompson is a shoo-in for the crown.’<\/p>\n
It comes after\u00a0Tony’s\u00a0wife Rachael revealed to MailOnline how she was shocked that the champion boxer is in the ITV final.<\/p>\n
Saying:\u00a0‘I can’t believe he’s still in and in the final. I was so sure he was going today that I tidied the hotel room and everything.<\/p>\n
‘I was really emotional this morning when he didn’t come out, I was so sure he would and I really want him back now.<\/p>\n
‘But of course, the kids want him to win, especially our eleven-year-old, he really wants his dad to win.’<\/p>\n

Reality star Sam currently leads the odds to be crowned winner, according to Ladbrokes\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rachael is staying at the Marriott Hotel in Surfers’ Paradise while looking after her four young sons; Corey, 18, Cobey, 15, Carter, 11 and Carson, three.<\/p>\n
The mother-of-four said: ‘The school was so supportive of them coming out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Well, I sent Tony in to speak to the headteacher because I said, “This is your thing, so you’re doing it” and the head was completely fine with it and said to Tony, “Hey, go and enjoy yourself.”‘<\/p>\n
Childhood sweethearts, Tony and Rachael are both from the Toxeth area in Liverpool and met 22 years ago at the nightclub he was bouncer to – this is the longest they have ever spent apart from one another.<\/p>\n
When she made a surprise visit to him in the jungle on Friday night’s episode, Tony broke down in tears and later said: ‘This will stick with me more than any moment I’ve had in the jungle.’<\/p>\n
But Rachael has now revealed that he also whispered to her in private: ‘I’m in shock Rachael, how am I still here?’<\/p>\n

She told MailOnline: ‘I can’t believe he’s still in and in the final. I was so sure he was going today that I tidied the hotel room and everything’<\/p>\n

It comes after Josie Gibson became the seventh campmate to be eliminated from I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!<\/p>\n
The This Morning host, 38, narrowly missed out on a place in the much-anticipated final as she was sent packing just one day before the winner will be crowned.<\/p>\n
Josie’s exit leaves Sam Thompson, Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage as the three finalists as they will battle it out for the King of the Jungle title on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
However, fans were left fuming upon her exit as they shared their disappointment that she didn’t make the final – after she was the last woman standing in the camp.<\/p>\n
Many viewers also shared their annoyance that controversial politician Nigel, 59, had not been voted out instead of Josie as they said she deserved to make it through.<\/p>\n
