“The greatest love story of 2018.”

Harry Redknapp has been in the I’m A Celebrity jungle for almost a week and a half now.

And through that time, one thing has become clear: if there was anything that the former football manager is possibly missing more than his wife Sandra, it was his jam roly poly.

The 71-year-old has made no secret of the fact that he would like to be reunited with the warm sponge and jam dessert – and fans were just heartbroken for him when the camp narrowly missed out on it after a Dingo Dollar challenge.

But last night’s episode saw Harry’s jam roly-poly dreams come true as all of the campmates (minus Nick) headed off for a massive banquet.

Rita, John and James earned ten out of eleven stars in the Quest – which meant that ten of the celebrities would be heading off for a big meal.

And Harry was left beaming from ear-to-ear as he lifted one of the lids off of a plate to reveal pile of the sweet treat there waiting for him.

He explained to the camera:

“My old nan used to make it, it was a taste of my childhood really. It brings back good memories, you know?”

In a moment of pure joy, he popped it into a mug and smothered it with custard – leaving viewers absolutely delighted for him.
