Things got personal in the jungle last night on I'm a Celebrity, as the campmates all discussed family. It’s obviously on everyone’s minds, being so far from home.

While they were relaxing in camp, Adam asking Larry if he saw a lot of his TV presenter son George. "Yeah a lot. It’s great. I live in London more or less all the time so I see him a lot. He’s living just across the street from me now so it’s lovely. We have a great time.We have a laugh." said Larry.

Then Adam asked whether Larry had grandchildren: "I might have. I don’t know. I’ve got a daughter you know, a long lost daughter so I might [be a grandfather]."

Larry had a baby girl called Vanessa with his first wife Anita. He only ever met the baby once, and Anita returned to Germany with Vanessa when the marriage ended.

Adam asked "Have you ever wanted to…"

"Yeah I always did" says Larry."I always have but the point is that I and her mum broke up before she was born and then she was adopted by her mum’s new husband so I never had anything to do with her, and you can’t just go bouncing back into someone’s life you know."

We were welling up a little bit - we love Larry!

And Larry admitted he doesn’t even know whether his daughter and her family are in the UK or abroad.

Meanwhile the girls and Jordan were talking about having children, as Ola confessed that she wanted to have a family one day while Lisa said she thought she’d left it a little too late. Jordan asked Ola if she wanted to have children. "I’d love to" she replied.

And Lisa talked about how timing was an issue for her: "It’s a weird one because it’s so hard. I left it kind of late. I didn’t find anybody that I wanted to actually be with and I didn’t want to have kids to just..” “Have kids?” suggested Jordan. "It's been something I've had to deal with," added the model and presenter later on.

Scarlett also said that she wanted to be a mother. "Oh yeah. I want my own little tribe definitely. I would like at least two kids…"

Wayne and Carol were getting on like a house on fire, as the footballer opened up to Miss V about missing his children, saying: "I can’t wait to see their smiles when I walk through the door."

Later he added: "You know the kids can make your head explode sometimes but I think coming in here has not made me appreciate them more but make me not have as many of those moments, I hope."

Well we can all relate to that!

Later Carol said of Wayne: "Maybe it’s an unexpected side to Wayne because people would see he’s an international footballer and obviously very very successful but he’s a lovely bloke. I can tell he absolutely worships his children too and it’s a really good message for people to hear."

It's nice to see everyone bonding in the jungle! Are you enjoying seeing a new side to come of this year's celebs? Let us know over on Facebook or [Twitter](https://twitter.com/CloserOnline
