Each season of I’m A Celeb sees the remaining contestants reunited with their loved ones — and it’s always emotional viewing.

Sunday night’s 2020 season finale didn’t disappoint, with the remaining three contestants each surprised by a visit from a special person from back home. Former AFL player Dale ‘Daisy’ Thomas reunited with girlfriend Natasha:
