I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! runner-up Tony Bellew broke show rules in a sneaky way that wasn't shown on screen, as revealed by fellow campmate Danielle Harold.

One of the show rules is that campmates aren't allowed any access to the outside world, with phones, watches and clocks not allowed. Presenters Ant and Dec even cover their watches when they enter camp to ensure that the celebrities don't know what time it is.

However, this year's campmates had begun to get suspicious after Tony always seemed to know the time, with Danielle revealing that he'd actually managed to sneak a stopwatch into camp after a Bushtucker Trial!

This meant that Tony was able to figure out or guess the time, however viewers never actually saw it on the show. Revealing all on Tuesday's (19th December) episode of Loose Women, Danielle explained that she was the only one in camp who didn't know what was going on.

She said: "Tony actually nicked a stopwatch from the games. So I was going, 'what time do you reckon it is?' and he's like, 'quarter past seven'. I was like, 'how do you know that?' I didn't know about the stopwatch, the only person in camp who didn't!"

During her appearance on Loose Women, Danielle also addressed the rumours that she is dating Pete Wicks, after the pair were pictured together at the I'm A Celeb wrap party.

Explaining that her and Pete have been friends for years and have found the dating rumours funny, Danielle said: "We've been laughing so much. No, we've been laughing so much. We come out and you go out with all the friends and family, but me and Pete are just good friends. Have been for years, but we've been having a good giggle about it."
