Danny Cipriani posts quote about ‘following your heart’ amid rumours he pulled out of I’m a Celeb after marriage split
DANNY Cipriani shared a cryptic quote about “following your heart” after rumours he was forced to pull out of I’m a Celebrity.
It was claimed rugby player Danny, 36, decided not to take part in this year’s I’m a Celebrity after splitting from wife Victoria Rose.
Taking to Instagram, he shared a lengthy message that read: “There’s one thing I’ve always known, even when it was buried among the rubble of my mind – it’s better to follow your heart and be true to yourself than play by other people’s rules.
“You might not be accepted by everyone but the rewards, when they finally come, will be so much sweeter than any trophy.”
The Mail reported this week that Danny had signed up for the show before things between him and Victoria, 42, turned sour.
It also said a “six-figure” appearance fee has been discussed. However, a show insider insisted Danny was never going to appear on this year’s series.
A source said in August: “He will be the hunk of the line-up and already there is talk of him and shower scenes amongst staff working on the programme.”
It was previously reported that Danny and Victoria officially separated weeks ago.
A source said that, up until the summer, all had been well in the marriage.
But they added: “Victoria had been increasingly unhappy over the last few months.
“Things got tense and then she saw some text messages on his phone and it led to some difficult rows between them and they have now split up.”
Just two days after his split from Victoria was announced, Danny was spotted with model and boxer Isa Yasmijn.
