ITV I’m A Celebrity fans ‘in tears’ as Barry McGuigan receives heartbreaking news

fans were left in tears as they watched Barry McGuigan miss out on his luxury item.

During Wednesday’s (November 20) visit to the Australian jungle, Alan Halsall and Danny Jones were given the chance to win the campmates’ luxury items, chosen by their loved ones.

The actor, 42, and the McFly, 38, star were tasked with answering questions about their fellow camp mates, including Dean’s specialist subject on Mastermind and the name of GK Barry’s podcast.

The duo answered eight questions correctly out of 10, however, failed to pick the right answer Barry and star Jane Moore, leaving them without their treat from home.

They incorrectly assumed that Jane went on a nationwide tour with Judi Dench insted of Sharon Osbourne. Meanwhile they guessed that Barry fought in welterweight class instead of featherweight as a boxer.

Speaking about the outcome, Alan said: “8 out of 10 is so good, we smashed it, really happy with that. But also 2 out of 10, we didn’t get and it’s hard that.”

Danny added: “It is hard, but I think Jane and Barry will understand,” as Alan agreed: “I think they’ll understand, they’ll know we did our best and we just didn’t know the answer on the day unfortunately.”

After dinner, the campmates received their items, including a dressing gown for GK Barry, an inflatable chair for Tulisa, while Oti Mabuse was given three plays of her favourite tune It’s My Life by Bon Jovi.

The former star played it for the first time that evening as the campmates all jumped up and sang along.

However, Barry remained seated and look dejected, leading viewers to social media where they made a tearful confession.

One wrote: “Can’t stop crying. This is the first time I’ve been sad for someone on telly… oh Barry i will get you your luxury gift myself.”

Another penned: “Barry not getting his luxury item makes me so sad,” followed by two teary eyed emojis.

Another devastated fan remarked: “Now WHY would they show Barry’s little face like that while they’re all singing and dancing and happy with their luxury items I CAN’T.”

Someone else agreed: “The UK crying at them not getting Barry’s luxury item,” as another echoed: “Barry’s face when everyone was getting their luxury items. Protect him immediately.”

It comes after as he opened up about the death of his daughter, Danika. The former featherweight world champion, 63, recalled the gut-wrenching moment they learned of Danika’s leukaemia diagnosis when she was just 11.

Despite Danika successfully fighting the disease, she tragically lost her battle with bowel cancer at the age of 33 in 2019.
