I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! fans called Marvin Humes ‘creepy’ as he told his campmates how he got his now-wife Rochelle to go on a first date with him.
In Tuesday night’s episode, the JLS star, 38, opened up about how he asked The Saturdays singer, 34, out on a date with him after first meeting as teenagers.
Marvin admitted he had long had a crush on Rochelle and told how they went on a night out with their respective bands in 2010 and were getting on ‘really well’.
He recalled when Rochelle went to the bathroom, he went into her handbag and took her phone, before calling his own number so he had her digits.
He said: ‘I met Rochelle when JLS and The Saturdays were doing shows together, I’d always said to the boys “I like her, she’s hot”.

‘And we were in a nightclub in Ireland after doing a show together one night, chatting and getting on really well, and she went to the toilet, right, and she left her handbag at the table with me.
‘I got her phone out, called myself so I had her phone number, and it took me about three months of pestering me to get a date.’
The singer then told his campmates Sam Thompson and Danielle Harold that he took her on a first date to a McDonald’s car park.
‘McDonald’s car park in Wembley, and here we are mate, 13 and a bit years and three kids. I’m very, very lucky,’ he added.
His unique tactics worked as they tied the knot in 2012 and now share daughters Alaia-Mai, ten, Valentina Raine, six, and three-year-old son Blake Hampton.
However, his comments divided viewers as some were left less than convinced as they took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to describe his actions as ‘creepy’.
One wrote: ‘Can’t believe Marvin phoned himself using Rochelle’s phone!!’ and another said: ‘Wow that’s a bit creepy Marvin.’
A third tweeted: ‘Marvin going in Rochelle’s bag, getting her phone and calling himself…that’s kinda wild but it worked out so congrats lmao.’
Another commented: ‘I’m sorry Marvin went in Rochelle’s bag and took her number?? That’s not nice its creepy,’ while a fifth added: ‘Marvin was a bit creepy with the phone.’
And one joked: ‘So Rochelle didn’t have a password on her phone then? Marvin could’ve posted so many things on social media.’
