This year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! could be the friendliest series yet. Although they're only two days into this year's I'm A Celebrity, the 10 celebrity campmates (soon to be 11!) are getting on famously, and all seem to be rallying round each other to lift each other's spirits.

But there was one act of kindness in last night's episode (20th Nov) that completely melted the hearts of viewers and left them in tears. After The Chase's Anne Hegerty's uncomfortable Bushtucker trial - the Monstrous Monoliths - both camps were reunited, with the Yellow team winning four 'luxury items' for the other team.

One of the items was for DIY presenter Nick Knowles, who chose to bring in a pillow - something the other campmates were very jealous of. But the 56-year-old revealed that he'd actually brought it in for anyone who was struggling - and immediately handed it to Anne.

The touching moment brought tears to the eyes of many viewers, as plenty took to Twitter to rave about what a gent Nick was for doing that - and to praise his actions towards Anne, who has opened up about her Autism in the camp.

One wrote, 'Nick Knowles really does have a heart of gold and what’s just as lovely is seeing that beaming smile on Anne’s face 😰', as another tweeted, 'Nick Knowles doesn’t just fix houses, he fixes feelings'. sic

Another added, 'Nick giving Anne his pillow. I'm not crying, you are', and one other wrote, 'On behalf of the whole of the nation, thank you very much Nick for looking after Anne, you legend.'
