A surprising revelation on I'm A Celebrity..Get Me Out of Here: Extra Camp has shared one of this year's contestants mega-famous family connections.

During the spin-off show, presenters Joel Dommett and Scarlett Moffatt were joined by former TOWIE star Megan McKenna and Andi Peters; where it was revealed that Emily Atack - who collected nine out of 10 stars during the first Bushtucker trial of the series - is related to Sir Paul McCartney.

According to the presenters, Emily's mother is the Beatles legend's first cousin - and it's actually something the former Inbetweeners star has spoken about herself previously.

Before entering the jungle, she told The Mirror: "I hope he will be supporting me. That would be nice. I am sure he is quite busy and has other things to do but it would be lovely if he was.

"He was a big part of my childhood growing up. Paul is a family man and a lovely man, caring and loving.

"He was always kind to me, my brother and sister and always treating us. He is a really lovely guy."

Emily joined Camp Croc after competing in the first Bushtucker Trial, Viper Pit, during Monday night's main show.

She even sustained a terrifying python bite for her efforts, proving that Beatles are probably better than snakes.

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here continues on Tuesday (November 20) at 9pm on ITV, followed by Extra Camp at 10pm on ITV2.
