Vernon Kay was in tears this evening as he said that he was taking part in I'm A Celebrity for his kids.
The 46-year-old appeared on the show this evening after self-isolating two weeks away from his family, including wife Tess Daly.
And the TV presenter was clearly emotional ahead of the helicopter ride over to the castle.
"The thing for me is, doing it for the kids," Vernon told the camera this evening. "I want them to really enjoy me being here.
"Every time I mention the show they just go, 'Yes!' And I go, 'Oh my god, I hope I don't let them down."
Gesturing to his teary face, he added: "Look at me - I'm welling up!"
I'm A Celeb campmates this year aren't getting the chance to lounge around in the humid Australian jungle, but are instead left shivering in North Wales' eerie Gwrych Castle.
This is due to the travel restrictions in place amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Executive producer Tom Gould previously opened up about the show's unique feel this year.
He said: “We want to retain what I'm A Celebrity is but wanting to draw on the castle and the setting to give it that unique new feel.
"I hope that is what we have done. Once we decided and committed to it, doing this has been a labour of love and a chance to reinvent but also keep the parts we know viewers know and love and recognise.”
*I'm A Celebrity returns tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV
