Marc's guilt over betraying girlfriend Sarah with Cerys: 'I feel sick... I can't even look at myself in the mirror'

The soap star turned jungle rogue finally owned up to breaking girlfriend Sarah Matravers' heart on I'm A Celebrity... Coming Out Show, broadcast on ITV1 on Tuesday night.

Bannerman admits: "I just developed feelings for someone in there and I've got a Mrs at home, I'm a rat. I can't look for a scapegoat. The buck stops here."

While watching footage of himself and Matthews in the jungle, he said: "I feel sick. I feel for Sarah watching that. I feel really stupid.

"There wasn't any sort of relationship between us in any kind of way. Anyway I can see why Sarah went home."

When asked by fellow contestant Katie Hopkins whether he really loved Matthews, he replied: "I don't know."

The former EastEnder, who was the first celebrity to be booted off the show, struggled to conceal his emotions after seeing the hotel room he'd been due to share with Sarah. Shaking his head in despair, he said: "Is this where she's (Sarah) been staying?

"There's her dressing gown, and she's done all my stuff", he said, referring to the clean clothes heartbroken Sarah had lovingly hung up for him before she fled back to London.

Ending his agonising tour of the luxury six-star room in the Versace Hotel on Australia's Gold Coast, Marc gazed into the bathroom mirror and admitted: "I can't even bring myself to look at myself in the mirror."

Visibly shaken, he then calls Sarah on his mobile phone. The first words he says before the camera cuts away are: "I'm so sorry babe."

Marc then watches tapes of his time in the jungle and the scenes of him and Cerys, saying: "I feel sick, I feel for her (Sarah) watching that. I feel really stupid. I can see why Sarah went home."

Cerys, meanwhile, insisted she was equally to blame for their dangerous liaison. Speaking on the reunion show she said: "I don't think he has any more blame than me.

"We were friends, it could have become a lot more intense. I was aware he had a girlfriend, he didn't try to mislead me."

Asked if she had fallen in love with the former EastEnder, she admitted: "I loved being with him. It was a pleasure to get to know such a lovely human being. If this is about love that's a good thing to have trouble with."

The reunion also gave the contestants a chance to bury the hatchet after a fortnight of celebrity spats and squabbles. Football legend Rodney Marsh made amends for two weeks' of blazing rows with Lynne Franks by saying: "I was completely wrong in not saying goodbye to you and I apologise for that."

But chef John Burton Race was less generous to the PR guru, saying: "I met Lynne's bloke, he's a really nice fella. I don't know what he's doing with her."

Meanwhile, king of the jungle Christopher Biggins could soon be the new king of TV chat. The victor of ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is talking to the broadcaster about a teatime talk show which could put him head to head with Liverpudlian comedian Paul O'Grady on Channel 4.

"He is an absolute natural for the cosy world of daytime TV," said an insider. "He proved what a great listener he was inside the camp. Plus he is so genuinely likeable, he has every chance of teasing out some major revelation from guests."

The 58-year-old presented an informal chat show in the Australian outback with fellow contestants Janice Dickinson, Cerys Matthews and former boyband member J.
