Rev Richard Coles has emerged as a fan favourite on this season's I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!

From sharing emotional stories to swapping jokes with his other campmates, the former pop star is now a surprise favourite to win.

I'm a Celeb is synonymous with bushtucker trials, but what viewers really love, is the emotional moments in camp and Coles has provided them by the bucketload.

Viewers have been quick to notice how he deals with other campmates.

One said: "Rev Richard Coles, doesn't seem to get phased over anything, really! Yeah, obviously slightly startled at times, maybe a few tiny 'jumps', but, honestly, he's been a warrior, AND, always supportive/positive towards everybody, like, motivation etc 'n all..."

Another added: "richard constantly reassuring maura is so sweet we all need a richard in our lives".

Someone else commented: "Superheroes don’t always wear capes. Richard Coles is such a wonderful bloke."

Whilst another said: "I love Richard encouraging Maura".

Last night on I'm a Celebrity

Tensions were rising in the I'm a Celebrity camp on Wednesday night, when a row broke out over Dean McCullough refusing to do his chores and Oti Mabuse declared: "Shots fired!"

Melvin Odoom first aired his complaints to some of his other campmates about his partner not helping him with water duties.

At first, he was diplomatic when he said Dean is a "great person" but he admitted he was not a good person to have help him with the chores. As the campmates begun to turn on the radio star, McCullough complained: "I hate doing it. It's an awful job. I don't want to do it anymore. Guys I can't. It's not for me."

Camp leader Danny Jones ordered him to: "Get on with it mate."

Yet McCullough made more protestations and a fuss over doing his fair share of the work. Jane Moore called him out — in her words — on his "b***s***" when the radio DJ tries to justify it.
