After his elimination, Nick also appeared on Good Morning Britain and told how he wants to see Sam Thompson crowned King of the Jungle.<\/p>\n
He said: ‘I’d like Sam to win he’s such a huge fan of the show and he just wants to do cyclone bless him, he really is enthusiastic.’<\/p>\n
The actor also told how adjusting to life in the jungle was tough for the first few days.<\/p>\n
He said: ‘It takes a few nights to climatize the first few nights I was like, “what’s this noise? whats that?” for two, three nights we were like, “they’re playing the noises through speakers” and then after a while we were like no its real.’<\/p>\n
Nick and Sarah\u00a0live together in Liverpool but their relationship has remained out of the public eye.<\/p>\n

\u00a0He grinned as he arrived to speak to the co-hosts and admitted he was happy to be leaving because he felt like his time on the show had come to an end<\/p>\n
Nick is the longest-running soap actor on Hollyoaks – playing Tony Hutchinson for 28 years and Sarah said:\u00a0‘It’s nice people get to see the Nick part of him and not just Tony. But you haven’t seen all of him yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I’ve wanted him to do it for years. He’s very competitive and a good team player so that’s why I’ve always said, out of all the things he could do, I’m A Celebrity would be a good one for him.’<\/p>\n
‘I’m really surprised I haven’t seen him have a hunger tantrum. He is the most positive upbeat person you’ll ever meet but don’t mess with him and his food.<\/p>\n
‘When people are going off for the Trials he’s like ‘Don’t worry if you don’t get all the stars’ but I know on the inside he’s like inside, ‘You have to get all the stars’.’<\/p>\n
