Author: Alex RossPublished 2nd Mar 2020

He stole the hearts of the entire nation when he appeared on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here back in 2018, and now fans are loving his new show Harry Redknapp’s Sandbanks Summer with his adorable wife Sandra, so it's no surprise Harry has been inundated with lovely messages for his birthday today (Monday 2nd March).

As well as receiving a tonne of love on Twitter from his fans, Harry's son Jamie Redknapp has posted the most adorable message to his dad on Instagram, as the former football manager celebrates his 73rd birthday.

Sharing a number of cute throwback photos alongside Hazza, Jamie wrote the beautiful words, 'Happy birthday dad . I am so proud of you . You’re my hero have the best day ❤️' (sic)

Fans, friends and former players who worked for Harry were quick to comment on the cute post. Former Tottenham striker Robbie Keane wrote, 'Happy birthday @harryredknapp', with football freestyler Jeremy Lynch adding, 'A true legend, Happy Birthday @harryredknapp 🎂🥂 ❤️'. (sic)

A fan then wrote, 'Love harry what a super star he is wish he was back at the Lane many happy returns for today you legend x'. (sic)

Check out all of Harry Redknapp's best one-liners from his time on I'm A Celebrity:

His hilarious joke about being a football manager

Oh Harry, you joker!

When he rapped with Fleur East and Malique Thompson-Dwyer

After a brief discussion about grinding, Harry, Fleur and Malique made up a rap after asking which car Harry drives - and the results were BRILLIANT.

When he was SUPER blunt about Malique's departure

Obviously, he wasn't being mean about Malique - he just meant that they'd most likely be seeing each other in a matter of days!

When he spoke about the time he ran Sandra over

Harry unfortunately wasn't being super observant two years ago, and told his campmates, "I used to think I was a good driver but I had a nightmare and ran over my wife one day. She got out the car and I thought she'd crossed the road and I pulled forward and she fell into the road and a bus stopped literally yards away and the most amazing part of the story probably, my grand-daughter is sitting on top of the bus and sees all of this. Unreal."

When the campmates got split into teams

His competitive nature came out when they got split into teams, and he became one of the Roos.

When Noel had to hold a yabby in his mouth

During the Fall of Emperor Noel Bushtucker trial, Harry and Noel had to take it in turns to hold creatures in their mouths - and when Noel held a yabby in his mouth, Harry couldn't control himself, and yelled, "YABBA DABBA DOOOO."

When he had some words of comfort for Fleur East

Before Fleur took on the Gore Seasons Pizza Bushtucker trial, Harry had his very own unique way of comforting her.

When he had some thoughts about Fleur's music

In the Jungle Arms, the campmates took part in a little karaoke, when Fleur's song 'Sax' came on and they all tried to learn her dance routine. Harry wasn't convinced.

Harry stole the hearts of the nation back in 2018, when he appeared in the famous Australian jungle alongside the likes of Fleur East, John Barrowman, Anne Hegerty, Nick Knowles and Emily Atack.

After being crowned King of the Jungle, Harry also made some lifelong friendships from the show, staying in regular contact with some of former camp mates.

Just last week, Harry congratulated his friend Fleur East after she released her amazing new single 'Lucky'.

Happy Birthday Harry! 🥳
