Emotional Myles Stephenson opened up on losing his beloved nan on today's Good Morning Britain.
The Rak-Su singer paid tribute to his grandmother, who passed away peacefully last week at the age of 89-years-old just one day after he came back to the UK.
The I'm A Celebrity star revealed his Yaya "held on" for him to return from the jungle so she could hear his voice one last time.
Myles also told Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid that he learned his famous cooking skills from his nan and believes she was proud of him.
He explained: "She passed away on Friday - the day after I got back. I’m kind on content. She held on that long until I got bake.
"She taught me how to cook. She taught me a lot in life. I spent a lot of time with her and my grandad as my dad live there."
On her death, he added: "It was hard at first but you have to look at the good side."
Myles, who was joined on GMB by former campmate Kate Garraway, said he had the "best experience" of his life in the jungle.
Myles paid tribute to his Yaya in an emotional Instagram post as he announced the sad news on Saturday.
Sharing a picture of them with their arms wrapped around each other, he wrote: "89 years of life! Today you left this world but your spirit will NEVER leave our hearts!
"The life you had on earth was nothing short of phenomenal! 6 children, 10 grand children! Started In Jamaica and gave everyone the tools to conquer the world!"
He added: "The music I make will keep you dancing up there and My restaurant will be named after YOU down here.
"Ima continue to try make you proud day in day out in everything I do! Thank you for holding out on going to heaven till I got back from the Jungle!"
"I knew you wouldn't leave without hearing my voice one last time! I'm not sure how I will deal with you being gone but I know you wouldn't want me to be alone and to spend it enjoying life! I love you to heaven and back! Rest In Love Yaya."
