Richard Madeley is one of the biggest personalities taking on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! this year – and he’s definitely got a team of supporters cheering him on back home.
His wife and TV partner in crime Judy Finnigan and the Madeleys gathered together during the opening show to pose for a family portrait, and share their support for the Good Morning Britain presenter as he entered the castle.
Judy posted a picture with daughter Chloe, son Jack and his little boy Kit, smiling for the camera in a rare family portrait released on social media.
The date also marked a special day for the couple, with Richard and Judy spending their 35th wedding anniversary apart because of the show.
The caption on Instagram read: ‘Are you ready? We are ready…One hour to go… #teammadeley can’t wait to see Richard on his and Judy’s 35th wedding anniversary. How do you think he’ll do?

As it turns out, Sunday proved an eventful beginning to camp life for Richard.
He left fans shocked after revealing his potty mouth during the first Bushtucker Trial of the new series, after arriving alongside Loose Women panellist Frankie Bridge.
Richard went head-to-head with Frankie during the task named The Turrets of Terror, where the campmates raced to reach the top of a structure and grab a key to the castle.
The star also couldn’t help but cause a stir when he suggested he and his fellow campmates at the Castle Clink would be set to ‘bend the rules’ after being banished to sleeping outdoors.
The presenter is one of the stars undertaking gruelling trials and meagre rations in the show’s 2021 line-up, alongside stars including Arlene Phillips, Olympian Matty Lee, Naughty Boy and David Ginola.
