Dean Gaffney has announced he doesn’t want his EastEnders co-star  to win I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here.

The actor, 43, made the shocking admission during an appearance on Friday’s installment of – much to the dismay of presenters  and Ben Shephard.

Dean revealed he was lenient towards Emmerdale’s , who is also slumming it out in the castle, because they are ‘best friends’.

Claiming he had ‘nothing against’ his former co-star, he said: ‘I’ve got an affiliation with all three of the soap actors in there. Danny is one of my best friends, Adam obviously I’ve worked with on and off for paydayloans 30 years.

‘And Simon Gregson I know through one of my good friends Simon Thomas and he’s really lovely so actually it’s really hard who I want to win this year.’

After Ben pressed the Hertfordshire native for a final answer, he finally blurted out: ‘Danny Miller is one of my best friends, so I’m going to have to say Danny.’

Dean competed in the ITV show back in 2006 where he was the eighth contestant to be eliminated.Busted’s Matt Willis was crowned the King Of The Jungle.

It appears Dean isn’t the only one rooting for Danny Miller after a banner in support of him flew over Grwych Castle.

A plane flew over the castle on Thursday afternoon with a banner that read: ‘Danny Miller 2 win #ImACeleb Love Pufalump’.

Sadly, Danny didn’t get to see his fan’s display as a source told MailOnline he and the rest of camp were all inside at the time.

Danny chose to take part in the show to kickstart a new career after deciding to depart his role of Aaron Dingle on Emmerdale.

His wife Steph Jones previously said on ITV’s Lorraine: ‘This is the biggest opportunity of his career – he’s been in Emmerdale for 13 years and he wanted to open the door maybe to a different career path.

‘It means he has longer time off with [their son] Albert next year rather than working Monday to Friday 7 until 7.I got the better half of the deal!’

I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.
