Love hopes dashed: Gemma's romance have scuppered hopes for romance in the jungle
"The spark was still there, and they really hit it off again. They started seeing each other, but then came the call from ITV about sending Gemma into the I'm A Celebrity jungle.
"It's not ideal for their fledgling relationship, and it will also be bad news for producers, who were hoping she might find love with one of the other contestants. Former 5ive singer Jason Brown was one star who had his eye on her.
"But it looks like she only has eyes for Marcus."
