It comes after Buckley opened up on Tuesday night’s episode over his struggle with media intrusion amid his separation from his wife of 18 years, Tania Buckley.

“I’m going through a separation, so I’ve been out of home for 18 months, a bit over 18 months, nearly two years,” he said.

“The paps are following my ex-wife and sometimes with my boys. And they’re also looking for photos for me with my current partner.”

News of Buckley’s marriage breakdown – and his subsequent relationship with cosmetic nurse and model Alex Pike – came as a huge shock to the AFL world, the pair establishing themselves as one of footy’s golden couples during his playing days with Collingwood.

I’m A Celebrity continues tonight on Channel 10 at 7.30pm AEDT
