I’m A Celebrity fans shocked by creepy way Marvin Humes wooed wife Rochelle
I’M A Celebrity fans were left absolutely shocked by the ‘creepy’ way Marvin Humes first wooed his wife Rochelle.
The JLS singer was down by the creek chatting to his fellow lad campmates Fred Sirieix and Sam Thompson as well as Danielle Harold.
Whilst the group were relaxing away from the I’m A Celebrity main camp, Marvin, 38, couldn’t help but get a little philosophical.
The former X Factor star asked the former Made In Chelsea personality how he met his current partner, former Love Island star Zara McDermott, 26.
After he was asked about his first date, Sam explained: “We got loads of sake, started singing in the restaurant. We were a little bit drunk and I asked her if I could kiss her.”
However, he sarcastically joked that despite the good vibes on the first date, the way they first started speaking was far less
He continued: “Fred, I’m going to be honest with you mate, it was really romantic… she slid into my DMs. This is so lame.
“I liked a couple of her photos to just to sort of let her know I was alive and she followed me on Instagram… then I said to her, ‘Look I’m going to be really honest with you I’m really bad at this digital texting stuff, I’m going to get it wrong soon, can I take you out on a date…?'”
The conversation then moved to radio DJ and presenter Marvin who had his own amusing story about his romance with his wife, Rochelle Humes, 34.
He explained: “I met Rochelle when JLS and The Saturdays were doing shows together.
“I’d always said to the boys [JLS], ‘I really like her, I think she’s hot’. We went to a nightclub in Ireland after doing a show together one night and we were just chatting, getting on really well.
“She went to the toilet, right? She left her handbag at the table with me. So then, I thought, right, got her phone out and called myself so I had her phone number.”
He added: “It took about three months of pestering her to get a date.”
However, the former singer admitted that rather than woo the star over a five-star luxury meal, their relationship had a far more humble start.
He admitted: “[Our first date was] McDonald’s car park in Wembley… that was our first date. Here we are 13 and a bit years later, three kids… I’m very, very lucky.”
But fans quickly took to X – formerly known as Twitter – as they were left cringing at Marvin’s story.
One viewer exclaimed: “Marvin and Rochelle’s first date was in Wembley McDonald’s car park!? .”
Another said: “Jesus Marvin…. Getting a weird vibe .”
“Marvin… that’s strange #imaceleb,” wrote a third.
As a fourth user confessed: “Marvin going in Rochelle’s bag, getting her phone and calling himself…that’s kinda wild.”
And a fifth added: “Marvin…. bit creepy mate! #ImACeleb”
