I'm A Celebrity's Vernon Kay details first kiss story at Wigan Pier

I'm A Celebrity's Vernon Kay has shared the details of his first kiss with his fellow camp mates.

The celeb's decided to share their stories around the castle camp fire during Monday night's show.

Bolton TV star Vernon confessed he was a bit of a late bloomer and said his first kiss happened when he was 17 or 18 in neighbouring town Wigan.

"My first kiss was in, it must have been upper sixth," he told his fellow I'm A Celeb campmates.

"And it got to the point where I was like, 'I've just got to kiss someone.'

"It was just at Wigan Pier at the back and I was horrific, I was like a washing machine."

But it's all in the past for Vernon as he is happily married to Strictly Come Dancing host Tess Daly.

Earlier in the show, Vernon revealed the romantic story of how he surprised Tess by secretly arranging for them to renew their wedding vows.

Vernon and Tess, who have two daughters Phoebe, 16, and Amber, 11, said 'I do' again in the south of France five years ago after marrying in a local church in 2003.

The 46-year-old has also become an overnight heartthrob since entering the castle .

Some fans of the ITV reality series have been left swooning over Vernon and they have made their feelings known on social media.
