Harry Redknapp admits Emily Atack has a 'chance' with son Jamie after 'scrubbing' up

The football manager appeared on Good Morning Britain today to talk about being crowned King of the Jungle.

The conversation soon turned to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! runner-up Emily Atack, 28, who told Harry Redknapp, 71, she fancies his son Jamie, 45, when they were in camp.

At the time, Harry admitted Emily would make a great daughter-in-law and the actress mimed to the camera for Jamie to call her.

But when asked by ITV hosts Piers Morgan and Kate Garraway whether Emily and Jamie would work together, Harry backtracked.

He spilled: “I’ll be honest, when I saw her in the jungle I thought no chance.”

However, Harry said he changed his mind when he saw the Inbetweeners actress all glammed up out of camp.

“But I’ve seen her today when she was scrubbed up and she looks alright I’m telling ya,” he said.

“She looks very youthful, she looks good so I think yeah.”

Harry continued: “But when i saw her in the jungle I thought no you ain’t got a prayer.”

The star joked he didn’t recognise Emily when she was dressed up and had make-up on.

He added: “When I saw Emily today when she scrubbed up I went ‘who are you!?’

“She went ‘I was in the jungle with you’. I went ‘I have’t seen you before!’” 

Praising the star, Harry said: “She looked fantastic. She was brilliant, she was great.”

Last week, Jamie himself responded to Emily’s cheeky request after joking she wants him to call her.

The Sky Sports pundit said of the blonde beauty: “She’s so sweet in the programme.”

He continued to The Sun: ”It was such a nice conversation and I thought ‘all right dad, where are you going with this one?’

“It was funny the way she handled it afterwards, it did make me laugh.

“He’s like Tinder in there, dad is isn’t he?”

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2018 is available to catch up on ITV.

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV at 6am.
