I’m a Celebrity: Charlotte Crosby and Ryan Gallagher could be ‘FAKING’ their jungle romance – as sources claim he ‘isn’t her type at all’ and they just want to ‘get airtime’
Their blossoming romance has been the talk of the town since they first arrived on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia.
But Charlotte Crosby and Ryan Gallagher’s budding relationship isn’t sitting well with some, with sources claiming their love story could just be a publicity stunt.
A source told Woman’s Day that Ryan, 31, set his sights on the Geordie Shore star, 29, because he knew it would get them more airtime.

They said: ‘Ryan loves the opportunities that come with his reality TV fame, so he wouldn’t think twice about hooking up if it means he’ll generate more headlines.’
Another source told to New Idea that Ryan isn’t even Charlotte’s type, but she is playing along because she ‘knows fans love’ a romance.
‘Charlotte is only recently single, so timings wise, it worked out perfectly for them to get viewers invested in their pretend love story,’ the insider added.
Showmance? The pair are represented by the same Australian talent agency, Stage Addiction, which hasn’t been disclosed on the show
But a friend of Ryan’s – who asked to remain anonymous – told News.com.au that he would never agree to participate in a ‘showmance’.
‘There is no way Ryan decided to be part of a fake relationship. It’s just not who he is,’ they said.
‘Ryan is beyond honest and if anything is too open with his thoughts and opinions. Plus he’s the worst liar!’
‘I really like Charlotte for him. From what I’ve seen they’re both massive balls of energy with zero filter.’
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Charlotte and Ryan’s manager for comment.

Who is Charlotte’s ‘new man’?
Ryan Gallagher may be one of Australia’s most popular reality stars, but Charlotte’s millions of fans in the UK have no idea who he is.
The former tradesman, 31, lives on a rural farm in Goulburn, NSW, with his parents and rose to fame on Married At First Sight in 2018.
After his ‘wife’, Davina Rankin, kissed another groom behind his back on the show, jilted Ryan became the sympathetic breakout star.
He went on to launch a career in stand-up comedy, and has performed sold-out tours across Australia.
In 2019, Ryan landed a national radio show on 2Day FM.
