CAROL Vorderman has revealed her surprise link to I'm A Celebrity's Chris Moyles - and the pair go back decades. Appearing on the This Morning sofa to analyse last night's jungle action, Carol said she was rooting for Chris after he was seen getting increasingly agitated by life in camp.

Chris Moyles, aged eight, used to help me every Saturday." Stunned Holly exclaimed: "No way!" Smiling Carol responded: "His first time in radio." Chris would go on to become a radio titan, famously hosting the Radio 1 breakfast show.
