While we all thought a bit of sumpin' sumpin' was going on between Joel Dommett and Carol Vorderman, he revealed on his return that there was actually a mysterious girl that he had met just before heading into the I'm a Celeb jungle.

But now - slightly awkwardly - he has hinted he might like none other than former I'm a Celeb campmate Ferne McCann.

On This Morning (9 December), Joel was asked by Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford whether he would date Ferne.

And guess what - he would!

He replied that he thinks "she is wonderful", followed by: "It's Ferne McCann not Ferne McCann't."

Ruth and Eamonn then asked if they should set a date up for the pair, to which Joel replied: "Shall we set up a live date? I'll ask [my mum] Penny."

Ferne had already revealed she fancied Joel on a previous This Morning episode in front of none other than his mum.

At the time, Ferne said "it's no secret that I have a crush on Joel" before listing his qualities: "I think he's really funny, he's got great abs, he's got a great body, he's eye candy but I think the reason why people are loving him is that he's a normal guy and he's witty. He's got great banter."

On the same show, Holly Willoughby and Ore Oduba asked Joel's mum whether she would approve of a romance between the two.

Joel quipped: "I like how you asked my mother first, it's like ye olde times."

Earlier in the day, Scarlett Moffatt said how excited she was about seeing Joel on This Morning, tweeting: "Can't wait to watch my king of the jungle @joeldommett on @thismorning woo woo #ImACeleb"
