Danika sadly passed away in July 2019 aged 33, just weeks after being diagnosed with cancer.
Ahead of the episode airing, I’m A Celeb’s Unpacked presenter Joel told fans that he was “missing his family” as he sobbed.
The teary-eyed star told fans: “It’s a very emotional episode this evening on I’m A Celeb Get Me Out of Here.”
He paused before adding: “You’re going to love it. It’s absolutely amazing, what a show.”
Joel continued to cry as he covered his face with his hand.
He went on: “I think I miss my family.”
Joel also captioned it: “Get your tissues ready! Tonight’s a good one!”
His post left viewers feeling emotional, with one commenting: “In floods of tears, hold those we love so tight, because who knows what could happen tomorrow.”
A second simply said: “Heartbreaking,” with a broken heart emoji.
A third added: “Heartbreaking and it made me cry. You’re a brave man, Barry.”
Dean asked the boxer if he goes to church, to which Barry replied: “I used to go to church a lot but after my daughter… you know, not so much.”
The star bravely spoke about what happened.
Danika was diagnosed with acute lymphoid leukemia when she was 11-years-old.
Dean revealed: “She had leukaemia, when I was making the boxing with Daniel Day Lewis, three weeks from the end I had to leave because she’d been diagnosed with leukaemia, they thought she wasn’t going to get better but she fought back and she won it.
“She had two years of chemo. She was good, she came back…”
Dean started to get upset and the rest of the camp tried to comfort him.
Speaking to the camp about their lovely words, Barry added: “Thank you, you’re all so lovely.
As he fought back the tears, Barry said: “Stage four bowel cancer, five weeks.
“Five weeks and she died.”
Barry shared Danika with his wife Sandra.
The married couple are also parents to their three sons Shane, Jake and Blane.
Barry said to Belfast Live back in 2021, Barry said: “I lost my daughter two years ago, and it’s been shocking.
“I’ll never recover from it.
“My life will go on, but I’ll never be the same because family means everything to me.”
I'm A Celebrity 2024
As the hit ITV show enters into its 24th series, a brand new batch of famous faces look set to enter the Aussie jungle once again to face terrifying Bushtucker Trials and living amongst the critters in camp in order to come out on top and be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle. The Sun's Jake Penkethman takes a look at the stars heading Down Under this year...
Coleen Rooney – Arguably the most famous name heading into the camp, the leading WAG, known for her marriage to Wayne Rooney, will be making a grand return to TV as she looks to put the Wagatha Christie scandal behind her. The Sun revealed the mum-of-four had bagged an eye-watering deal worth over £1.5million to head into the camp this year making her the highest-paid contestant ever.
Tulisa – The popstar and former X Factor judge looks set to be making a triumphant TV comeback by signing up to this year’s I’m A Celeb after shunning TV shows for many years. Known for being a member of the trio, N-Dubz, Tulisa became a household name back in 2011 when she signed on to replace Cheryl on ITV show The X Factor in a multi-million pound deal.
Alan Halsall – The actor, known for playing the long-running role of Tyrone Dobbs on ITV soap opera Coronation Street, was originally signed up to head Down Under last year but an operation threw his scheduled appearance off-course. Now he will be hoping to become the latest Corrie star to win over both the viewers and his fellow celebrities when he gets into camp.
Melvin Odoom – The Radio DJ has become a regular face on TV screens after rising to fame with presenting roles on Kiss FM, BBC Radio 1 and 4Music. He has already been for a spin on the Strictly dancefloor and co-hosted The Xtra Factor with Rochelle Humes in 2015 but now he is facing up to his biggest challenge yet – the Aussie jungle.
GK Barry – The UK’s biggest social media personality, GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, has transformed her TikTok stardom into a lucrative career.

She has even gone on to endorse popular brand such as PrettyLittleThing, KFC and Ann Summers.
Dean McCullough – A rising star amongst this year’s bunch of celebs, Dean first achieved notability through his radio appearances on Gaydio and BBC Radio 1.

Danny Jones – The McFly star was drafted into the programme last minute as a replacement for Tommy Fury. Danny is the second member of McFly to enter the jungle, after Dougie Poynter won the show in 2011. He is also considered a rising star on ITV as he’s now one of the mentors on their Saturday night talent show, The Voice, along with bandmate Tom. A jungle insider said: “As well as bringing some of the star appeal of the group with him, he’ll be supplying some serious guy candy for the campmates and viewers at home.”

Since then, she has competed on Dancing On Ice as well as hosting the Irish version of the beauty contest, Glow Up.
