Kian Egan: 'Jungle stay has made me broody'

Jungle king Kian Egan has revealed his three weeks in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! have made him and his wife Jodi Albert want to have another baby.

The winner of the ITV show said they missed each other so much during their spell apart, it has convinced them to have a second child to join Koa - almost two - to seal their love.

Former Westlife star Kian told Hello! magazine: "Being away from my family made me look at our lives."

The singer went on: "I was on top of the world and the only other time I'd felt like this was when we had Koa. I'd love to have a mini Jodi. I'm so lucky to have her and Koa and if we can give him a brother or sister, why wait?"

Actress Jodi said: "We were in the canteen just after he'd emerged from the jungle when he looked at me and said 'We've got to have another baby'. I was stunned - but I'm all for it. I'd like a little girl next."

Kian - who was crowned the winner of Celebrity in Australia a week ago - said it had been a life-changing experience.

"It taught me to take nothing for granted. Just to be able to walk past a shop and buy a bar of chocolate feels fantastic to me now.

"When you're stripped of all the resources we have at our fingertips and forced to live on a small portion of rice and beans each day, it changes your outlook, makes you think."

The full interview is in the new edition of Hello! magazine, which is out now.
