I’m A Celeb star Danny Jones’ bandmate Harry Judd speaks out after he breaks down to campmates about health diagnosis
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Danny Jones' McFly bandmate, Harry Judd, has responded following Jones' revelation to his campmates about his mental health diagnosis.
Last night's episode (20 November) left many ITV viewers teary-eyed when Danny bravely opened up about his anxiety during a candid chat about the symbolic meanings behind his tattoos.
The singer shared the story behind the tattoos on his wrists that read 'Don’t worry, be happy', telling the fellow celebs: "It’s because I’m always constantly worrying, but that’s what I’m working on."

The McFly frontman then went on to explain he's been in therapy since he was 19 to cope with anxiety, and opened up about having a panic attack on live TV during an interview.
He told his campmates: "I was freaking out and I couldn’t answer the question that got asked to me.
"My heart rate goes crazy, I went white, and I felt like I was going to puke."
Danny then put his head in his hands as he broke down in tears, which led Tulisa to comfort him with a hug.
"It’s really good to let it out and it’s really brave to be vulnerable, people respect it." she said.
Strictly star Oti Mabuse then added: "I think it’s really good that you keep saying people must talk, especially young boys.
"I don’t think young boys tend to talk that much and the suicide rate is so high in young men especially, so I think it’s important that you keep telling people to talk about it."
Since then, Danny's bandmate Harry has responded to the episode, reposted the clip to his Instagram story along with the caption 'Mush' with a sad face and red heart emoji.
Mental health charity, Mind, explains that anxiety can be different for everyone, adding that you may experience a mix of both physical and mental effects.
During a panic attack, physical symptoms can include:
- a pounding or racing heartbeat
- feeling faint, dizzy or light-headed
- feeling very hot or very cold
- sweating, trembling or shaking
- nausea (feeling sick)
- pain in your chest or abdomen
- struggling to breathe or feeling like you're choking
- feeling like your legs are shaky or are turning to jelly
- feeling disconnected from your mind, body or surroundings, which are types of dissociation.
During a panic attack, you might feel very afraid that you're:
- losing control
- going to faint
- having a heart attack
- going to die
