I’m A Celebrity fans BEG Nick Knowles to ‘stop singing’ after topping the iTunes charts

I’m A Celebrity fans have had enough of hearing Nick Knowles singing in the jungle.

Viewers begged the DIY SOS presenter to “stop” after he broke into a rendition of Make You Feel My Love at the Jungle Arms pub.

Knowles, who recently discovered he had topped the iTunes charts with the track, grabbed a guitar to treat his campmates to a live performance after James McVey covered Oasis classic Wonderwall.

Viewers were unimpressed with one tweeting: “Nick can't stop singing now the fame has gone to his head haha #ImACeleb.”

Another commented: “Waiting for Nick Knowles to stop singing.”

A third added: “Can Nick pls stop singing like that (sic).”

Knowles' campmates appeared baffled by the performance with John Barrowman telling the Bush Telegraph "he is a man of many talents..." before falling silent.

Emily Atack said: "Nick playing his number one tune for us. I mean I think we witnessed some sort of viral material right there. We all knew it was happening, it was epic."

The comments come after Knowles was left shocked after hearing he had topped the iTunes chart earlier this week.

A letter from Knowles’ son TJ read: “I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how very proud I am of you, not only in terms of how you are doing in the camp, but most importantly how proud I am that you're my dad.

“Just to let you know, you owe Chris Moyles a pint, as despite everything last week him and his radio team managed to get Make you feel my love to number one in the iTunes Chart.”

Knowles told the Bush Telegraph: “If it's true it's very, very lovely.

“It's very difficult to believe, but if people are doing that, then thank you.”

Moyles started a campaign to propel the track to the top spot, which was then backed by Knowles’ official social media accounts.
