I’M A Celeb runner-up Andy Whyment is enjoying all the perks of being out of the jungle.
Today the Corrie star, 38, was spotted scoffing down a Cornish pastie as he headed into a beauty salon with his wife Nicola.
Andy narrowly missed out on being crowned King of the Jungle to Jacqueline Jossa, but has wasted no time in settling back into his life back in Manchester.
The soap star was seen with his wife Nicola and they both looked happy to be back together.
After chomping down on their flaky pastry treat they popped into see some fans at a local beauty salon.
Andy will be adjusting to the cold Northern climate after the heat of the Australian jungle.
Both he and Nicola were wrapped up in puffa jackets as they braved the elements.
On the I’m A Celebrity Coming Out show, which aired on Thursday, Andy was seen making a beeline for wife Nicola and told her how much he missed her.
On their way back to the five-star Palazzo Versace hotel, Andy was keen to know what people the UK made of his time in the jungle, as well as what his fellow Corrie stars had been saying.
Nicola told him that best pal Alan Halsall, who plays Tyrone Dobbs in the soap, had been tweeting his support.
The star also spoke of his pride on Instagram ahead of the final vote.
After reuniting with his campmates at the hotel, Andy headed to his room where Hollie had a present for him.
Andy found a table of chocolates, as well as an advent calendar.
Since leaving the jungle Andy has said his new fame won’t change him and he’s desperate to get back to his “boring life” of sitting on the sofa and going to Asda.
He said he wasn’t even going to spend his big-money earnings from the show on anything exciting – insisting he’ll pay off his mortgage.
Andy, who has played Kirk Sutherland in the soap since 2000, lives in Atherton, Manchester.
He told the Daily Star: “I’m looking forward to getting back and just getting into my normal boring life of just getting home from work, closing the front door and sitting on the sofa and watching telly.”
The dad-of-two added: “I know my profile is probably going to be higher now. I didn’t do [the show] for that reason.
“I’ll still remain myself. I’ll still go to Asda on a Friday and do the big shop with my wife.”
He added that he was looking forward to catching up on Coronation Street to find out what’s been going on while he’s been away.
Andy explained he has the soap ‘series-linked’ on his Sky box – despite starring in the show himself.
The actor won a legion of new fans thanks to his sweet nature and chirpy comments in the I’m A Celeb jungle.
He said it was “humbling” to have the support of the British public who, for 19 years, have mainly known him as Corrie’s hapless Kirk.

He explained: “To know people had got behind Andy Whyment, I was humbled massively by that.
“I was myself and to think people liked me for me. I have never cried so much.”
He came runner-up to Jacqueline Jossa, who was crowned Queen of the Jungle on Sunday night, with Capital Radio DJ Roman Kemp taking the third-place spot.
