I’m A Celeb star Babatunde’s welcome home gift from his wife revealed after he goes wild in business class flight home

I'M A Celebrity star Babatunde Aleshe has been enjoying life after the jungle as he boarded a business class flight back to the UK.

The comedian - who was evicted fifth on the ITV competition - looked chuffed to be returning home with his sister.

Babatunde, 34, travelled in style as he got comfortable for his long-haul flight.

Sharing a clip from the plane, he told fans: "Me and my big sister flew business class."

After a 24-hour journey, the Gogglebox favourite returned to social media and revealed a touching gift his wife had surprised him with upon his return.

Posting a short video, Babatunde received two photos, one of him on during a trial and another of his I'm A Celeb promo picture which had been framed with the words: "Our king of the jungle."

An emotional Babatunde said: "My wife knows me so well, look at that.

"I come home to not only a fantastic picture and a welcome home display banner, but she got me Dragon stout."

The TV star last week revealed that he desperately wanted to make his six-year-old son proud while starring on the show.

Describing how he wanted to be a role model to his little boy Judah after his own dad passed away, the I’m A Celebrity star said: “I can definitely take this experience and teach my son about stepping into the unknown and being comfortable with it.”

He told The Sun: “There were many low moments. I learnt that I have the capacity to endure and keep going because I never gave up and there were times where I could have really just said, ‘let me leave the jungle’, and come back home to be with my family.

“But I just didn’t give up and every day was an achievement for me. Every day waking up in the jungle I was happy that I never said I’m out. I learnt that I’m braver than I gave myself credit for.”

Following the jungle, the comedian, who has already sold out nine dates of his Babahood tour next year, said he hopes to carve out a career as a presenter.

“There is an art and a skill to it and I don’t think I have it,” he said. “So I need to learn or I can learn on the job.”

He continued: “I’m grateful to the British public for embracing me.

“I never thought that would be possible at all because it was only two years ago I was working behind a desk.

“Being in the position I am now, I take everything as an achievement.”
