Husband of I'm a Celebrity's Beverley Callard responds brilliantly to 'Mega-sh*g' nickname

Social media exploded earlier this week when I'm a Celebrity contestant Beverley Callard revealed some more intimate details about her marriage.

In a conversation with Vernon Kay, the Coronation Street actress disclosed that she has a very special nickname for her fourth husband Jon McEwan.

After describing him as gorgeous, Beverley revealed that she refers to him as her 'mega-shag'.

Presenters Ant & Dec asked everyone watching to try and get it trending on Twitter - which it did.

Jon, who owns a recording studio and a photographic studio in Media City, has taken the attention in his stride.

In response to Ant & Dec tweeting "#MEGASHAG", Jon initially wrote "Thanks for that!!" and has since shared a number of tweets about his new moniker.

This morning (Friday November 27) he updated his profile picture on Twitter and the new photo features a not-so-subtle nod to his new nickname.

In the picture, Jon is smiling at the camera and wearing a biker jacket, with the word 'Megashag' Photoshopped on it.
