0:10

0:51
the fact you can make a gyoza my husband puts some toast in the toaster and opens a bar of Haribo
0:56
and that's it It's something that he can do. If I died, my children wouldn't eat
1:01
Well, it's quite a special time food for me, you know. It's like sit down and have a little, you know, catch up
1:05
No, it's lovely. Why is it that you seem to be so successful on those shows
1:10
Honestly, I do not have a clue. I just went for it this year. I know what it is
1:13
I just went for it. It's because you are genuine. You are authentic and lovely
1:18
And there's no... And people can see, you know, the public are clever
1:23
They can see through rubbish. What a lovely morning. and you're just genuinely
1:28
such a lovely bloke so of course you're going to win of course you're going to win Jungle
1:32
thank you so much how does it feel to be the king it feels amazing like
1:36
it's quite hard to explain but you know no one's no one's judging you
1:42
for being you know in the band you're diluted to four and it's like McFly have won
1:45
or on The Voice The Voice singer has won but people were voting for me at my worst yeah
1:50
which is brilliant for people to vote for me at my worst and that's okay I was like
1:55
that's pretty cool So it's a very humbling feeling And yeah, I feel privileged to be able to have been in that position
2:02
To do the show, you know Do you keep in touch with any of your campmates? Yeah, I was at the boxing with Barry and Melvin on Saturday Fabulous Yeah
2:09
We saw Colleen at her launch of a thing that she's doing Fantastic
2:15
Her products Are you in charge of her PR? No, I'm not in charge of her PR
2:22
I do take her products they quite nice But it was amazing to see everyone GK was there No Maura was there and Barry was there We had GK on the show the other day Oh did you I just going to remind you of something that she did for you in the jungle
2:38
She... I mean, she's in tune, actually. Only chance. She hit the key, sort of
2:46
It's cute, though. Do you know what? It's funny. I remember sitting around the campfire
2:51
and there was this question asked, it was like, what have you got to say about the other, you know, what have you learned or what can you see a change in the other campmates
2:57
And I was like, oh, I said, and I had GK. I was like, GK, I've noticed that you can now look me in the eye
3:03
because when I first met her, I was like, oh, she's a bit rude, you know
3:07
I was like, come on, why is she not looking at me or talking to me, you know, looking at me in the eye? She went, oh, Danny, it's because I've got a reason
3:15
It's because I had a poster of you on me, whoa. And I was like, oh, my God, all this time I thought you were just like
3:22
you know, not talking to me she was shy thank God, yeah
3:27
what, from having that amazing experience aside from losing the weight we can talk about your tummy problems in a minute
3:34
which fascinate me, things like this remember people are eating their weight and mix
3:38
what are the sort of lasting memories or lessons that you say
3:42
you would have learnt from that experience oh, I mean, Barry was a massive inspiration
3:46
just time, time's the only thing we run out of and he said, no job, no this, no that
3:50
is more important than time with your son and your family and people that you love yeah and uh
3:55
it really is true because i think in there you you you have so much time and friendships and bonds
4:01
really really happen fast because when else do you ever get to sit down without your phone you're
4:06
all on the same diet you're all in the same clothes you're talking it gets deep really quick
4:10
or you find out about each other so quickly we never do that in every day you know you go to the
4:15
pub with your mates you're like oh what about the football what about this what about that yeah and That's why, you know, it was an amazing experience for me
4:21
And how is your tummy? I've read you've had tummy troubles. Honestly, it was rough
4:27
Was he coming out of the jungle? Coming out of the jungle, yeah. The medic said to me, just go easy, go small
4:32
I obviously didn't. I went straight for breakfast. I had two breakfasts that morning
4:37
Banana breads, croissants, eggs, everything. Get you. And then chicken burgers later on, and I paid for it
4:43
Oh, okay. We don't need any more detail. I'll tell you what we'll do. Danny, going back to the jungle, I just want to touch on, you were very vulnerable in there
4:52
you were very honest, you even cried. Yes Do you know what I think it was the atmosphere in there you know like I said before you open up really quick you get to know people And it was Barry It was seeing Barry At one time he was the toughest man on the planet
5:09
Yeah. And seeing him open up about his daughter. Yeah. And it opened the door and allowed me to kind of go, oh, it's okay to kind of speak about this stuff
5:19
And I never thought I would go on a show like that and open up like I did
5:23
and then from that you know the the influx of positivity that i've had just talking about
5:29
kind of my mental well-being is has been amazing and now this calm ambassador ship has come along
5:36
and i'm privileged and honored to be i've never had a role like this before it's it's amazing
5:40
and um you know i'm i'm here to spread um good vibes about there is help out there
5:48
and especially for men who find it quite difficult to talk or be vulnerable
5:52
absolutely like i was saying before you know i think i think it's strength to show vulnerability
5:57
yeah you know and i was stuck at one time in a world of anxiety i didn't know where to go and
6:03
calm is an amazing place because it has a helpline 24 hours with trained professionals
6:09
not just volunteers and if i'd have known that i'd have had a place to go yeah and i just want
6:15
to spread the word that you know you're not alone and it's it's there is help out there
6:21
And there's somewhere to go. To talk. Can I ask, because I know we're running out of time a bit
6:26
Have you got your phone with you? I do have my phone with you. Can you get your phone out, please, and give it to Amanda
6:30
You know the rules on this show. Nothing sacred. You don't have to give it to me
6:34
Okay, what are we going to do? I don't want to see it. We're going to spin our wheel. We've got this magic wheel
6:39
Yes. We play this game quite a lot with our friends that come on the show. We're going to spin it
6:43
Whatever it lands on, we're then going to ask you to open your phone. We're going to ask you a question about whatever it lands on
6:48
Does that make sense? Okay, yeah. All we ask for is honesty and openness. I wish he was just saying that's what he is
6:53
That's it. Okay, so first up, we have... Where's it going? Where's it going? It's gone past..

Okay. So this was last night. I was at the Led Zeppelin movie premiere thing
7:19
Yeah, just don't say the first line. Okay, I won't say the first line. But I as I was leaving I was walking up the stairs and these two lovely ladies were waving at me and I going kind of like looking a bit like who like waving Yeah And I worked with these lovely ladies before
7:35
and I know them quite well. And as I got to the top of the stairs, I realised it was the Nova twins
7:41
and I just made myself look so stupid. So I messaged them and I went
7:46
girls! I swore, sorry, that was me, didn't mean to be rude
7:50
and sent them a wave. And then they waved back. So I waved through Instagram. Oh, there you go

8:23
Yeah, well, we missed that date. Oh, you missed that date? Don't tell him that. Cooper, if you're listening, I'm sorry about that, mate
