I'm A Celebrity stars' partners - from David Ginola's model girlfriend to Simon Gregson's soapland wife

The I'm A Celebrity stars who have made it this far in the competition have now spent more than a month away from their loved ones.

And viewers of the hit reality show saw tears earlier this week when most of the stars received their letters from home.

It was an emotional night at Gwrych Castle as the celebrities completed a challenge to win their messages from partners, siblings, and parents.

Each member of the camp had to remember a six-digit code and correctly input it into a computer within three guesses in order to unlock the letter for their partner.

At the end of the challenge, David Ginola and Adam Woodyatt were without their letters due to their partners failing the challenge.

Former French footballer David has since been heard speaking about his girlfriend and showed his heartbreak at not being able to hear from her.

And Danny had viewers 'bawling' when he got David to read his letter from fiancé Steph and newborn son, Albert.

So, we've taken a look at the I'm A Celebrity 2021 stars and their partners to see who is supporting them back at home

David Ginola

David is currently in a relationship with French model Maeva Denat.

The pair were first linked in 2016 when they were photographed holding hands in Paris.

She is 22 years his junior and the couple welcomed a baby daughter in 2018.

David, who has played for Newcastle United and PSG, was previously married to former fashion model Coraline Delpin.

The former couple, who split after 25 years of marriage, share two children, son Andrea, 27, and daughter Carla, 23.

Danny Miller

The former Emmerdale star is all loved-up with his fiancée, Steph Jones.

Danny and Steph, both 30, first met as children at school.

The pair reconnected a few years ago and have been in a romantic relationship together for two years.

Danny proposed to Steph, a midwife from Manchester, while on a trip to the Caribbean island of St Lucia earlier this year.

When announcing the news, he also revealed that his wife-to-be was pregnant with their first child.

The couple said at the time that they were 'surprised' to learn they were expecting a baby after trying for to fall pregnant for over a year with no success.

Danny and Steph were preparing to go down the IVF route when Steph found out she was pregnant, and baby Albert was born in October.

Louise Minchin

Louise has been married to her husband David for 23 years.

And she revealed the story of how they met on I'm A Celebrity.

The former BBC Breakfast host revealed she fell in love with him when she was 13-years-old and used to see him at the local beach.

But it wasn't for years later that the pair embarked on a romantic relationship.

"There's a girl called Ali, she's got two older brothers…" Louise said. "Forward a few more years, I'm 28 at this stage. Ali and I are having a conversation we'd never had before about going on holiday to the beach.. and I was like, 'Oh, that's the beach I used to go to.'

"Then I'm like, 'Did one of your brothers used to wear a Kinks t-shirt?' She was like, 'How do you know that?' 'I was in love with him when I was 13!'"

Louise was in a relationship when she met him again at Ali's next party.

"Before I walk off, he says, deadpan: 'When you chuck your boyfriend, give me a call'," Louise told her campmates.

She continued: "So I did, I chucked my boyfriend. Less than a year later we got married."

The couple now have two teenage daughters, Mia and Scarlett.

Frankie Bridge

Singer turned Loose Women star Frankie has been married to Wayne Bridge for seven years.

Frankie and Wayne have two sons – Parker, aged eight, and Carter, six.
