Rochelle Humes offers mid-flight update as she rushes to Australia for I'm A Celebrity's Marvin after being 'done'
It comes after the This Morning star said her nerves were 'shot' watching the jungle action from home
by Jessica Sansome · Manchester Evening NewsRochelle Humes said she was 'so happy' as she offered a mid-flight update while travelling to Australia to support her husband Marvin as the eliminations continue in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.
The JLS star is among the campmates still in the jungle after two unexpected exits and three evictions as the ITV reality show builds towards its grand final on Sunday (December 10). During Sunday night's show, Rochelle said her nerves were 'shot' when Marvin was left in the 'bottom two' alongside Nella Rose.
As her hairdresser was blow-drying her hair at home after she attended the British Fashion Awards, Rochelle said to the camera on her Instagram Story: "So that was a really close call, wasn't it? Oh my gosh, my nerves are shot!"

Rochelle went on: "That has really done me. I'm not extremely nervous. Oh my gosh, when I heard 'it might be you'. I'm still going and I'm hoping that I make it but please start voting now for tomorrow's show because I really don't want him to go on the bridge while I'm in the air. Please do not let it happen."
The This Morning presenter then cried: "So vote for me." And her pleas may have worked as Marvin once again missed being voted out of the jungle just as his wife was in the air jetting Down Under to be there for whenever he does cross the famous rope bridge.
Rochelle, who is making the trip solo after admitted to having never been to Australia before but also being scared of flying, has seen returned to social media to offer a few updates on her journey after previously saying she was 'done' as the emotions and verves of watching from home became too much.

As she settled into her lengthy flight, Rochelle put on hit film Horrible Bosses and was surprised to see the Duchess of Sussex, 42, appear. Meghan, who worked as an actress before marrying Prince Harry in 2018, portrayed Jamie in the 2011 film.
The mum-of-three posted a snap of Meghan in the movie and penned: "Watching Horrible Bosses. I love this film... How crazy is it seeing Meghan Markle as an actress now... I literally just said out loud 'oh wow that's Meghan Markle'," with a laughing face emoji.

She then enjoyed a stopover in Dubai, during which she enjoyed a glass of wine and whacked on the Robbie Williams documentary on Netflix before making the last leg of her journey to Brisbane. And later, she returned to social media with a simple video to share her joy at knowing Marvin now won't leave camp without her being there to greet him.
"I'm so happy!" she quietly said with her joy brimming as she sat in her plane seat. The 34-year-old also typed alongside the clip: "He's sade!!! OMG Thank YOU!!!! I'm trying to be quiet but I'm SO happy. Love you."
