Shaun was so nice to me l thought he must have had a brain transplant!

But new pals Shaun and Gillian are first evictions from jungle

GILLIAN MCKeith has spoken of her shock at how well she got on with fellow campmate Shaun Ryder this time round on I'm a Celebrity.

As the pair made an early exit from the All Stars version of the show, which was pre-recorded in South Africa, she said: "We got on brilliantly." The last time the pair met on the ITV series, in 2010, it was carnage, with the Happy Mondays singer branding Scot Gillian "a f***ing irritating woman".

She confessed: "I heard a rumour he might be going in and I was horrified.

Then when I saw him as I arrived I said, 'Hello Shaun' and felt something shifted, even in that moment.

"He was very welcoming - we got on brilliantly. He sang my praises. I was like, 'Who is this guy?' He was like, 'She's brains, she's so intelligent, she's this, she's that' - every compliment you can imagine flying out.

"It was crazy. I thought, 'Has he had a brain transplant.

"It shows you can go full circle with a relationship. It's a life lesson for everybody.
