Shane is engaged to singer Taylor West and they have two sons together named Finley George and Caelan James.

He met Maura when she was working as a ring girl, and recently spoke of seeing his dad and his ex on screen together.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain, he said: ‘Maura as well she’s an Irish girl – she’s from a small town in Ireland – so they’re both from the sticks. 

‘They would have been growing up as kids in a small town so there would be similarities there. ‘

Barry was eliminated from I’m A Celebrity last week but is still Down Under with his other campmates for the grand final.

He was voted off in a shock double elimination alongside former Dancing on Ice contestant Maura.

Admitting she had a ‘gut feeling’ she would go, Maura told Ant and Dec in her exit interview: ‘I’m really happy. I said it this morning it’s my time, I had a gut feeling and they’re never wrong.

‘I didn’t think I would embrace it as much as i have and I loved every single second. It’s mad how it changes you.’

 Barry previously opened up about his never-ending grief about losing his daughter aged 33 to colon cancer in 2019.

Speaking to MailOnline, Barry showed his detailed tattoo of Danika’s face, a tribute to her, and said: ‘She travels with me everywhere. 

‘It looks like she has a spot at the moment but that’s just because I have a rash from all those bloody cockroaches. I’m sure she would have been laughing about that.

‘But no, I know she watched the show regularly, I knew she was with me in there. I probably wouldn’t have got as far as I did without her being with me, I know that she travels with me everywhere. I believe that 100 percent, we will see each other again some time.’
