MODEL Kris Smith says he’s like a magnet to gay guys.

“I think a lot of gay men find me attractive, which is a massive compliment,” Smith said in the South African jungle on I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!

“Anybody to find you attractive is a massive compliment but they always make a beeline for me for some reason,” the coy contender said.

Smith’s comments came after “the campest campmate ever” Carson Kressley joined the Channel Ten reality show as an intruder.

He appeared uncomfortable as the former Queer Eye For The Straight Guy focused his attentions on the 38-year-old Myer ambassador.

“I sense some chemistry maybe, I’m just saying,” Kressley teased.

Smith, who has a son with ex-partner Dannii Minogue, wasn’t interested in the playful banter.

“I’m sure he doesn’t mean anything other than a little flirty thing by it, well I hope he doesn’t because he is barking up the wrong tree,” he declared.

While Smith sat back, the other male campmates embraced Kressley’s flare.

“Camp yes, he certainly is, but he will entertain I think a lot of us in here, he’s got some good stories to tell already,” shock jock Steve Price said; while comedian Nazeem Hussain showed the American around camp.

AFL legend Dane Swan was also pleasantly amused, making the surprise admission he’s a fan.

Queer Eye For The Straight Guy was one of my favourite shows growing up. Carson seems lovely.”
