Coronation concert viewers baffled as I’m A Celeb’s Jordan Banjo appears to have left the jungle
‘Shouldn’t he be in South Africa?’: Coronation concert viewers left baffled as I’m A Celeb’s Jordan Banjo appears to be traveling the world to host the BBC show
A star-studded concert was held at Windsor Castle on Sunday to celebrate the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla.
But viewers who tuned in to the coverage on BBC were stunned to see I’m A Celeb’s Jordan Banjo hosting.
Many took to Twitter in confusion, believing that he had in fact traveled all the way from the South African camp just for the concert.
However, the latest series of the ITV competition, featuring returning camp mates, was pre-recorded last summer.

Little known fact: However, the latest series of the ITV competition, featuring returning camp mates, was pre-recorded last summer
On Twitter, one wrote: “Isn’t Jordan Banjo supposed to still be in South Africa?”.
While another said ‘Bloody hell Jordan Banjo?? Did he leave the I’m a Celeb camp this weekend to have the coronation concert?
And a third said, “It’s Jordan Banjo and I’m a celebrity is not live.”
While another joked that the BBC spoiled the most recent I’m A Celeb cliffhanger by proving it was the Diversity dancer who got wrapped.
They said, ‘Lol nice job on the cliffhanger, Jordan Banjo is at the coronation concert. I assume he was then expelled’.
Jordan later interviewed Olly Murs who showed off his muscular arms as he prepared to perform on stage in front of a crowd of 20,000.
But the singer, 38, was happy to show off his toned physique backstage, insisting earlier in the day that he wouldn’t take his top off during his performance.
When invited to perform, he said on BBC Radio 2: ‘It’s a bit surreal, but I’m so honoured. I’m currently on tour, so yesterday I saw the stage. It’s the biggest in my career.

Shock: One wrote on Twitter: “Isn’t Jordan Banjo supposed to still be in South Africa?”
“It has the eyes of the world on it. This is something people will remember. It’s really special. It’s crazy. We just got an email asking me to do it!’
When host Dermot O’Leary joked that he looked muscular, Olly replied, “I’m not taking my top off, I have to be professional.”
Sunday’s show at Windsor was hosted by Downton Abbey and Paddington star Hugh Bonneville.
Buckingham Palace has promised “global music icons and contemporary stars” for the big concert.
It will undoubtedly be the highlight of the second day of coronation celebrations.

Around 20,000 audience members are expected and there has been much speculation as to who will be performing.
Musicians including Lionel Richie, Paloma Faith, Olly Murs, rock guitarist Steve Winwood and Nicole Scherzinger of The Pussycat Dolls will entertain the royal family and the public.
Classical acts such as Andrea Bocelli, Welsh bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel and Chinese pianist Lang Lang are also on the programme.
Hollywood star Tom Cruise, Dynasty actress Dame Joan Collins, adventurer Bear Grylls, singer Sir Tom Jones and former Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse will also be featured via video.
