The families of I\u2019m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! contestants landed in Australia today, Tuesday, 28 November, to support the stars.<\/p>\n

Sarah Corrin, the girlfriend of Hollyoaks actor Nick Pickard, was among the first to be photographed arriving Down Under, as she spoke of her pride for the soap star.<\/p>\n

Danielle Harold\u2019s mum, Lisa Marie Carter, also flew out from the UK with the EastEnders star\u2019s stepdad David Murray and her friend Avinash Goury. <\/p>\n

Speaking at Brisbane Airport on Tuesday, 28 November, Nick\u2019s partner Sarah said she was surprised the 48-year-old hasn\u2019t got 'hangry' in camp yet. <\/p>\n

While many know him for his role as Tony on Hollyoaks, Sarah said it was nice that people were getting to know Nick better. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI\u2019m dead proud and I\u2019m just glad people are getting to see the Nick part of him and not Tony." <\/p>\n

Sarah added: "I\u2019ve seen him do some of the challenges but I\u2019ve still yet to see him do a bushtucker trial. And all my friends and family are like what shall we do. <\/p>\n

"And I say vote! Vote! And they\u2019re like you\u2019re not meant to vote him in and I\u2019m like we are! I think he\u2019d enjoy it!" <\/p>\n

Going on to talk about Nick's hunger, which he was also worried about prior to going into camp, she said: "Do you know what the biggest surprise to me is that I haven\u2019t seen him have a hunger tantrum. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

"He is the most positive upbeat person you'll ever meet but don\u2019t mess with him and his food. <\/p>\n

"So I haven't really seen that so far. And when people are going off for the Trials he\u2019s like 'Don\u2019t worry if you don\u2019t get all the stars' but I know on the inside he\u2019s like inside, 'You have to get all the stars'. <\/p>\n

Sarah said she "always knew" the Hollyoaks star would "do well" in the jungle. <\/p>\n

She continued: "I always knew he would do well in there. I\u2019ve always wanted him to do it. His main concern was hunger. <\/p>\n

"I tried to prep him with the intermittent fasting – sandwiches from the fridge and the rest. I\u2019m really surprised that he hasn\u2019t been more about the food." <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Danielle\u2019s mum said she feels she is "sharing her with everyone" now viewers are seeing her daughter for herself and not an EastEnders character. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Danielle is well-known for her role as Lola Pearce-Brown during two stints in Albert Square lasting over a decade, but her mum insists she is now "being herself" in the jungle. <\/p>\n

Lisa said: "It\u2019s been good, she\u2019s doing really, really well, I knew she would be determined. <\/p>\n

"A lot of people in there aren\u2019t themselves in their jobs but when you\u2019re playing someone for so long, it\u2019s really difficult to switch off but she\u2019s a really caring person.<\/p>\n

"It is a bit weird watching her as herself on TV, it is almost like we are sharing her with everyone," she added. <\/p>\n

Asked if 31-year-old Danielle could win, she added: "If she just keeps being herself, she\u2019s very caring. She's already a winner in my eyes anyway, I'm really proud." <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The doting mum also revealed how brave Danielle has helped her to conquer one of her own fears, explaining: "I don\u2019t know how she does it with the trials, "I knew she would give it a good go but I am a bit surprised at how much she has thrown herself into it. <\/p>\n

"She was anxious going in. I am not worried now though because I can see she looks happy and she is enjoying herself." <\/p>\n

Lisa also explained why Danielle had recently rejected one of the meals in camp as it had reminded her of her pet back home. <\/p>\n

She explained: "Absolutely no way she would be eating that hare; the rest of the stuff she would have a go, but not the hare. <\/p>\n

"She has a rabbit that she adored and it\u2019s like her little baby really so she just wouldn\u2019t eat that. <\/p>\n

"The rabbit is called Sonny, Sonny the bunny and he is being looked after by her dad and friends; he is being very well cared for!"<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
