Ant McPartlin has confessed that watching Barry McGuigan discuss the heartbreaking death of his daughter "really got" to him.

The I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! presenter was on the ITV2 spin-off show I'm A Celebrity...Unpacked shortly after some poignant scenes were broadcast on the main programme.In the second episode of the 2024 series, McGuigan was seen being comforted by fellow campmates as he opened up about his late daughter, who tragically passed away just five weeks following a bowel cancer diagnosis in 2019, the Mirror reports.Ant, who recently became a father himself, shared with hosts Joel Dommett, Kemi Rodgers and the previous year's King of the Jungle Sam Thompson, that he had watched the touching footage before the 9pm airing.The new dad revealed: "That really got me.

We watched it earlier in the day, before the show, and I was crying. "I can't imagine losing a child and he didn't want to go there but he couldn't help it.

I thought the campmates were really lovely with him."McGuigan's daughter Danika 'Nika' McGuigan passed away on July 23, 2019, at the age of 33, after her second battle with cancer.
