I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’s current cast makes up what could be the best season ever of this one reality television series.

The beloved reality show returned with a bang on Sunday night and was as funny as ever with one huge trouser snake and Wagatha Christie jokes flying around.

But when the campmates entered jungle life, something truly beautiful happened as they all got to open up and get to know each other on a deeper level.

While many of us may have been looking for gross food challenges and terrifying bug-filled ordeals, in a surprising twist, the best thing about this new series is the emotionally supportive men.

In a poignant moment on Monday night’s show, Barry McGuigan reopened the death of his 33-year-old daughter.

The 63-year-old boxer confided in campmates: ‘I used to go to church a lot but after my daughter, you know, not as much. I used to go non-stop, but when you lose a child…’ he broke off.

Boxer detailed his daughter’s death from leukemia in 2019 at age 33 after being diagnosed with cancer as a child and again as an adult.

Barry burst into tears and was immediately comforted by his campmate, who Danny Jones gave him a hug and Melvin Odoom resting her hand on his shoulder.

Barry said through tears, “I feel so apt, five years.”

Immediately, the campmates supported his vulnerability.

‘You are a man going through pain and you are vulnerable to it. It takes strength, said Tulisa Contostavlos as the celebrities murmured their agreement.

Instead of shying away from the topic, or being uncomfortable with the boxer’s feelings, all the celebrities spoke about his daughter and his grief, challenging the notion that men could be considered weak for crying.

Many of the campmates then cried with Barry, including Oti MabuseDanny, Dean McCullough, Alan Halsall, Coleen Rooneyand Melvin who all wiped away tears and openly empathized with their pain.

Then on Wednesday night, Danny broke down in tears in a “vulnerable” moment when he talked about his mental health.

He recalled that he once suffered a panic attack while being interviewed on the daytime TV show This morning and described his plight in detail.

The All About You singer explained: ‘I went completely crazy and I couldn’t answer the question that was put to me. And so it started to happen in my work.’

When Jane Moore asked Danny if he thought he developed anxiety in his childhood or if it was a product of being in a band, he replied, “I think I ran away a lot.”

He then put his head in his hands and cried and was supported by Alan and Barry who patted the singer on the back.

“It’s really good to let it out and it’s really brave to be vulnerable, people respect that,” Tulisa said as she gave him a hug.

“Sorry about that guys,” he then added, “every time I talk about it it gets so much easier, everything gets elevated in here.”

In another moment on Tuesday night, Dean returned from camp after a challenge without a single point.

The radio presenter failed the bushtucker trial, but his campmates were kind and understood that his mental health was more important than their dinner as he was forced to confront his claustrophobia head on.

None of his campmates loathed him and instead hugged him when he broke down and told them how bad he was for making them go hungry.

These moments have highlighted a truly wonderful change as notions of toxic masculinity have been gently shattered with kindness and support.

Viewers have loved these tender moments from the actor and have praised the celebs for their emotional literacy and empathy shown to each other.

“Barry McGuigan talks sadness, Danny Jones talks angst, this is great male representation I can’t lie #ImACeleb,” said NatashaNUFC.

“Two incredibly strong advocates for men’s mental health, breaking down the stigma one deep conversation at a time. It’s okay to not be okay #ImACeleb,” said SFCMikeKavs.

“All these men crying on. I’m a celebrity we love to see it BREAK THE STIGMA huns x we ​​all have feelings xxxx love you Danny xx #ImACeleb,” grjf96 said.

In this season of the show, it’s not just women who are carrying the emotional labor, as the men have been open with their tears and their support for each other.

Each camper regardless of gender creates a warm and open environment for them all to open up and heal – and they seem to have the best time because of it!

Unfortunately, many reality TV shows thrive on conflict, but this show thrives on its lack of it—and fans love to watch it.

I’m A Celebrity continues tonight at 9pm on ITVX.
