“I have a beautiful family… but I don’t have a lot of friends, because of the way my work is and all of the travel.
“One of the things I wanted to do was come in here and make friends – and that’s exactly what I’ve done.”
“To be able to connect with people and have real, genuine, deep conversations and relate to one another – even though we’re from different worlds, is beautiful.
“People see the razzle dazzle… but here, it’s all stripped back. It’s important to show that side. If that came across, then I’m very pleased.”
Fans were quick to take to social media to show their support to the star.
“Every year there’s a surprise packet! I love Cosentino! He’s wonderful!!” wrote one fan.
Another added: “What a truly lovely man #CelebCos.”
Back when he first entered the jungle, Cosentino says he made the choice to appear on the show because he was an outsider at school.
“I was an outsider at school, got into entertainment to be part of the group, realised I’m an outsider in the entertainment world and… here I am again, going into the jungle as an outsider!” the magician shared.
“I’m completely out of my comfort zone. I’ve never been camping!”
