Joel Dommett fell asleep and missed I’m A Celebrity wrap party

Joel Dommett slept through the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ wrap party.
The 33-year-old TV presenter revealed he and his ‘Extra Camp’ co-presenters, Scarlett Moffatt and Joe Swash, missed the celebratory end-of-series bash because they were exhausted from filming and crashed out in their hotel.
He told the MailOnline: "We filmed the last ‘Extra Camp’ of the series and then Scarlett, Joe and I went back to the hotel to watch a movie. And we fell asleep.
"We just slept. We were asleep.
"You film 22 shows back-to-back, every day.
"It’s really mad. I wake up and go in and help write the script.
"Then I get in after and watch the next episode, but that’s hard because they’re not yet completed. It’s hard to write about something that’s not finished yet.
"The show is just a round the clock, military operation. But I absolutely love it. I just love what it stands for, I respect it so much and that’s worth the 14 hour days."
The former ‘Skins’ actor also feels that Holly Willoughby – who replaced usual host Ant McPartlin on the show, after he took some time off from work commitments following a drink-driving conviction earlier this year – did a "brilliant" job presenting alongside Declan Donnelly.
He said: "Holly did so well – she was so brilliant. She exceeded everyone’s expectations. To use this series’ catchphrase: ‘She smashed it.’
"And we all love Ant so much and missed him a lot.
"But Holly did so great – it was a tough thing to have to do.
"I know her but don’t know her well enough to be able to say how proud I am of her but – you know what, yeah, I’m proud of her."
