Marvin Humes has emotional reunion with Rochelle on ITV I'm A Celebrity's famous bridge

Marvin Humes has had an emotional reunion with wife Rochelle on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here's iconic bridge, after being apart from the Saturdays singer for several weeks.

The JLS star was visibly shocked to see his surprise guest on Friday's episode of the ITV reality series, gasping the moment he realised who'd come to visit him in the Australian jungle. Marvin, 38, tied the knot with Rochelle, 34, in 2011 after meeting her in a Dublin nightclub. Today, the powerhouse couple are proud parents to three children; Alaia-Mai, eight, Valeninta, four and son Blake, three.

Marvin, who rose to fame on the X Factor in 2008, was initially speechless to see his beloved spouse, before gushing, "Oh my god," and throwing his arms around her for a hug. "That feels so good." Rochelle then whispered, "I'm so ready for you to come home," to which the boyband member replied, "That is such a nice surprise." He then confessed, "Also, I stink," to which Rochelle laughed and agreed: "You really stink!"

"I'm sorry," Marvin apologised, before telling the cameras, "To see Roch today has been 100% the boost I need to get through these last couple of days." The pair also rested together on Tony Bellew's camp bed, prompting Rochelle to reveal that she feels like a fan on a blind date because she's been watching the Beat Again singer on TV for weeks. "I miss you so much, honestly, I'm so grateful for everything in my life," Marvin told her, before admitting it was "unbelievable" to be with the This Morning host again.

"I know it sounds cheesy but it is life-changing," he added before he promised he'd hold her for "hours" once he left the camp. Little did Marvin know at the time, that it wouldn't take long for him to be reunited with Rochelle once again. He became the sixth celebrity to be eliminated at the end of the episode, leaving Sam Thompson, Josie Gibson, Nigel Farage and Tony Bellew still in with a chance of being crowned either King or Queen of the Jungle.

I'm A Celebrity fans were quick to react to Rochelle and Marvin's heartfelt meeting, with many taking to social media to gush their approval. One person hailed the pair as a "gorgeous couple" while another wrote, "They are so cute together!"

Marvin has been eliminated just before the iconic Celebrity Cyclone trial, which will see the final four campmates will tackle the huge slip-and-slide while overcoming tough obstacles in a bid to win stars on Saturday. "I can't believe I've come this far, to make it to 22 days I think we've done,' the musician told hosts Ant and Dec in his exit interview. He also reflected on his sweet reunion with Rochelle, admitting, "I've never felt the way that I felt about her than in that moment... took my breath away."
