I am Nick Knowles, a celebrity 'paid for my ex parte on vacation during the relay in the jungle'

I am a celebrity. Nick Knowles would have taken a vacation for his ex-wife shortly before entering the jungle.

The 56-year-old DIY star SOS reportedly paid for ex-Jessica Rose-Moor, her son Eddie and Jessica's new partner to leave for an exotic Indian Ocean resort.

Nick and Jessica, who are finalizing their divorce, married in 2012 before separating two years ago.

The split was followed closely by the former couple who had a nasty spit on social media.

Sources now claim that Nick was very anxious about her being away on the ITV show, so she does not have to deal with unwanted attention.

A source told the Sun: "Nick and Jess are in a much better place than before, the public ranks have stopped and they remain on good terms, not least for the sake of their son."

They added, "But the reality is that he wanted her to be absent during his show.

"He knew he would get a lot of interest in him and did not want everything to be repeated with Jess when he's stuck in the camp.

"He had to dig deep to pay for the trip, but he thinks it's worth it."

A source close to Nick – who is currently single – added that the animator was happy to pay because his son was leaving too.

Nick and Jessica started dating in 2007 and welcomed their son in 2014, two years before their separation. It was Nick's second marriage.

After their marriage broke up and burned, Nick quickly joined Gemma Oaten, an Emmerdale actress, with whom he was photographed at the TV Choice Awards in September 2016.

But their flash romance was also hurt when Nick brutally dropped Gemma when the images appeared.

She then revealed: "One Sunday morning, we were in bed and all these texts told us that we were photographed together.

"In an instant, he completely changed everything around him and the way it was going to affect his family." It was really cruel to say that it did not matter to me. felt sick. "
