New research commissioned by Royal Caribbean International shows that over HALF of millennials would rather spend their dosh on memorable experiences than material possessions; and it's safe to say there's no bigger experience than entering I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
So, with this in mind, we thought we'd catch up with The Vamps' James McVey fresh from the Australian outback for a chinwag about everything from his recent engagement to Kirsty Brittain to those bushtucker trials 😰.
Chatting about how fellow campmate Harry Redknapp inspired him to pop the question to Kirsty, James said: "I knew I wanted to propose to Kirsty this year anyway, but I think hearing how Harry and Sandra have been so solid for fifty-something years affirmed to me that you can still have a successful marriage.
"Everyone in there was asking about us, and the more I spoke about her I realised it made sense to just propose. He helped me get the ring, which was amazing. It feels like I've got a new family, and Harry's like a grandad to me in a weird way."
Gah, OUR HEARTS HURT 💕.

Speaking about the weirdest experience he's had since being a famous-type in light of Royal Caribbean International's research, James said: "We were in the Philippines and we were offered food; local delicacies.
"I'm vegetarian anyway, so I'm always slightly apprehensive with these things, and an egg was delivered to us. I was like 'I quite like eggs,' but they cracked it and inside was effectively a chick just before it's born.
"They cracked open the egg and there was just a fully-formed chick in there. I wouldn't eat it because I'm veggie, but it's tasty apparently and they really look up to it as the dish of the nation."
BLIMEY.
