EastEnders star Shona McGarthy has made a tearful admission about her ex-fiancé during the latest episode of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
She isn't the first, and won't be the last, celebrity to open up about their private life in the jungle, with the likes of Angry Ginge and Jack Osbourne previously lifting the lid on their personal business.
In November, the Sun reported that the actor, 34, had split from her musician fiancé, David Bracken, with whom she'd gotten engaged last year.
Having met Shona on TikTok two years ago after asking her if she'd like to collaborate on a song, she said that the Irish band member proposed to her during a picnic in Kensington, West London.

"David took me to this beautiful Japanese garden because I love Japanese culture and the spirituality of it," Shona - who would perform on stage with David - told OK! at the time.
"He brought a picnic, which was really sweet. It was lovely, I was in my element, but I didn’t think he was going to propose."
She added that they wanted to have their wedding in Ireland 'because I have so much family there, as does David'.
However, a source revealed to The Sun at the start of the month that the pair are no longer together, as they told the outlet: "They are on amicable terms, but have ended their romantic relationship.

"There are no hard feelings, they realised they wanted different things and are better off as friends. Shona is now focusing on her music and career."
Neither McGarthy nor Bracken have spoken about the reported end of their relationship, with Digital Spy noting that she'd still referred to him as her fiancé, saying: "It will be the longest time my fiancé and I have been apart."
And after she headed off for the Australian jungle, the 38-year-old shared a picture of the two on his Instagram Stories, writing: "Let’s go girl! You got this."
In tonight's episode of I'm a Celeb, Shona said she walked away from a conversation about marriage going on amongst the campmates.

Aitch kicked off the initial discussion when he revealed that he would '100 per cent' like to get married one day.
Recalling the time he was proposed to by a fan during a meet and greet, he said: "He got on one knee, and I said Go on then. Put the ring on, gave her a hug and all that it was cute but unfortunately I never saw her again."
Meanwhile, Kelly Brook said that she'd been engaged 'about five times' before she met her husband, Jeremy Parisi.
While she and Tom Read Wilson were doing the washing up, she said her recent breakup with David made her not want to get involved in the chatter.
Shona explained that she walked away because she wouldn’t have known what to say, as Tom said: “I think you’ve done a really sensible thing.”

The TV presenter then gave her a pep talk, telling her that the right thing would come along at the right time.
