I’m A Celebrity’s Iain Lee cries after reading letter from his children and admits he thought going into the jungle was ‘the biggest mistake’ of his life

I'M A Celebrity star Iain Lee was left in tears on tonight's show after getting a letter from his beloved sons.

The 44-year-old comedian had previously thought he had lost his message from home alongside Jamie Lomas earlier this week after sacrificing his letter in order to win his fellow campmates theirs earlier this week.

But after today's Dingo Dollar trial, Jennie McAlpine and Georgia Toffolo surprised the pair by revealing that they had given up a group treat of popcorn in order to give the pair their notes.

Gathering around the campfire, Iain was brought to tears as Toff read the note on his boys' behalf.

It read: "Dear Daddy,

We’ve been watching you. We think you did very well on the rocket trial. We felt scared and worried watching you because we know you are scared of heights.

"Thank you so much for doing it for us. We thought you were incredible because when you jumped for the last part we thought you might not do it."

"We were so happy that you did it we jumped around," they added. "You are our hero. We think you are doing super super well not eating much food.

"When you come back we will take you to the Japanese restaurant where they cook the food on the table."

They then ended the note by adding: "Please can you bring back a baby kangaroo for us."

Amir Khan, who was Iain's accomplice in the now iconic 'Strawberrygate', was also pleased to see the reaction from the pair about their note.

“Getting a treat would have been amazing," he admitted. "But what was better than that was seeing a smile on Iain’s face and Jamie’s face that took our hunger away, it was so sweet."
