Jordan North hits back at critics who say I'm A Celeb's Danny Miller is "not being genuine"
The radio presenter says he received the same criticism last year.
Jordan North is backing Danny Miller for the I'm A Celebrity final, and has defended him against those who claim he isn't being genuine.
The radio presenter - who will be co-hosting the Top of the Pops Christmas Special this year - revealed that he received similar criticism when he took part on the show last year. Jordan came second to Queen of the Castle Giovanna Fletcher.
"I really like all the campmates - they're all bringing in something different this year," Jordan told RadioTimes.com. "I really like Snoochie Shy obviously – she's great and we know each other from the radio. I think Danny Miller's doing really well. And I know there's a couple of people who are questioning whether he's genuine and stuff, and I had that all last year.
"And it's just that type of show where you can't hide your fears, you can't hide behind the cameras. It just all comes out and the audience see that. You have got to be yourself, and I think he's genuine and I think he's going to do really well and get into the final."
Jordan also joked that watching this year's series so far has been like watching an ex-partner, adding: "It's like watching an ex who's done better because it's actually really good. Not that our year wasn't good, but it's another good year this year. I know they've had a couple of problems with production and the storm, but it's a really good year."
