Rochelle Humes finally arrived in Australia on Wednesday after making a last-minute dash to support her husband Marvin Humes during his I’m A Celeb stint.
The Saturdays star, 34, touched down in Brisbane Airport with a pile of suitcases a week after the other campmates’ loved ones arrived.
She previously explained that she’d had to delay her trip because of ‘work’ but got a scare on Monday when Marvin was nearly eliminated from the show, facing a lonely walk across the Jungle bridge.
The JLS singer, 38, was revealed to be in the bottom two alongside Nella Rose, with the YouTube star, 26, becoming the second star to be voted off, after receiving the least amount of votes.
While the episode was airing, Rochelle was at London’s Royal Albert Hall for the British Fashion Awards 2023.

However, the TV presenter ditched the star-studded event early and rushed home to get ready to catch her flight to Australia, in the hopes that she will make it there on time to greet her husband.
Viewers at home were in disbelief that Marvin had ended up in the bottom two of the public vote, thinking that he would’ve been safe over other campmates.
Rochelle took to her Instagram Stories from her car after leaving the awards to inform her followers that she was making her way Down Under to greet Marvin when he leaves the jungle.
She said: ‘I have literally rushed out of the Fashion Awards. I only got to watch a few and I’m on my way to go and support my boy. Come on, I’ve got to!
‘So I’m literally going to watch and vote. I’m putting this on here now to remind you all to vote to save him and I am then going go to the airport and fly and make my way to Oz.
‘I’ve never been to Australia before. Fun fact, I’m actually scared of flying. So for the very first time ever flying to Australia, I’m gonna be doing it on my own. Which is very interesting.
‘But yeah, I just wanted to remind you to vote to save him because I’m making my way to the bridge and I don’t want him on it before I get there!’
The Saturdays singer has been supporting her husband his stint on the show but has not yet landed in Australia like the other I’m A Celebrity campmates’ families did last week.
She took to her Instagram Stories on Saturday evening to explain that she would be going to Oz, but had to delay her trip to fit around her work schedule.
Rochelle sat in a towel turban and a matching white dressing gown while applying her skincare as she informed her viewers that the vote to save the campmates from elimination had been opened.
She explained: ‘I know that he’s having fun. Obviously I really want to see him, that goes without saying. And I could do with a hand!
‘But I also really want him to stay in there because he’s committed to this jungle experience now. So I really want to make sure that he gets the most out of it and, you know, really stays there for as long as possible.
‘But the predicament that I have is that all of the families, I think they landed on like Tuesday this week. I’ve obviously got the kids and I’ve got work and I’ve been trying to juggle everything and make sure I do the Christmas stuff before I go, because they’re in school.
‘So my mum’s going to move in for like a week. And then I’ll be with Marv until he is finished. As in whenever he leaves the jungle, they leave at certain times so I will leave with him and then meet the children.’
Rochelle then made a public plea, asking the public to vote to keep Marvin in the jungle so that she could make it to Australia in time for his exit.
She said: ‘My predicament is that I really don’t want him to walk out onto that bridge to nobody.
‘Because that would mean I have really failed him and I’m really trying to make everything happen but I really don’t want him on that bridge lonely.
‘So this is me asking, please vote for him. So that buys me my day of work on Monday and then I can get straight on the flight, 24 hours and then I’ll be there.
‘I mean obviously I don’t want him to come out then either but then at least if he does, he’s got me there. So that is the plan.
‘My predicament is, whilst I would love to have been in the Versace Hotel for a week, because it looks bloody incredible. I have to work and yeah I just want to make it there on time for my boy.
‘So please vote for him. Please keep him in. Please don’t have him lonely on the bridge. The thought of that is just no.’
After Marvin’s narrow escape from elimination on Monday, Rochelle took to her Instagram Stories once again to express her own disbelief and admitted she was ‘now extremely nervous’ that she wouldn’t be in Australia in time to meet him on the bridge.
She sat while getting her hair blow dried out after the awards, and said: ‘So that was a really close call, wasn’t it?’
She continued: ‘Oh my gosh, my nerves are shot. I’ve just got home. That has really done me, I am now extremely nervous. Oh my gosh, when I heard that, “It might be you”.’
Rochelle then pleaded once more: ‘So I’m still going and I’m hoping I make it. But please start voting now for tomorrow’s show because I really don’t want him to go on the bridge whilst I’m in the air. So vote for me!’
