The Emmerdale star was reunited with his fiancée and son live on Lorraine
I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here champion Danny Miller was unable to contain his emotions when he was reunited with his family live on television.
The actor was visibly overcome as he was surprised by his wife-to-be, Steph, and seven-week-old son, Albert, via Zoom, live on ITV’s Lorraine.
It was the first time he’d spoken to them in more than three weeks, and Danny had to wipe away the tears as he saw his little boy.
On Sunday night, Danny became the latest I’m A Celeb champion, finishing ahead of Frankie Bridge and Simon Gregson.
Host Lorraine Kelly said: “It’s so lovely to see you but we are also joined by your fiancée Steph and your wee baby Albert. Steph, he’s seven weeks today?”
As Steph replied, “yeah he’s seven weeks today”, Danny put his hands over his mouth and wiped away tears.
Steph continued: “We’ve missed you so much Danny, we just want you to come home now.”
Danny replied: “Oh darling, I love you so much.”
Steph added: “I’m so proud of you. I can’t wait to see you later.”
We were not ready for tears this early in the morning! 😢

Before he entered the castle, Danny defended his decision to appear on I’m A Celeb, and leave behind his baby boy and Steph for three weeks.
He told the Mirror: “Everyone is going to have their own opinion. The way I looked at it is, I made the decision once we found out we were naturally pregnant.”
He continued: “We said, all these dates are now going to be aligned. I was asked back in February to do the show and once I’d said yes and everything had taken a turn. It wasn’t signed on the dotted line by any means, but there was a good chance it would happen.
“This is three weeks of my life and Albert isn’t really going to remember me being there or not. Steph is doing amazing with breastfeeding, she’s an amazing mum. It gave me even more confidence to want to go to the Castle and provide for the family.”
