I'm A Celebrity star James McVey gives his blessing to ex-girlfriend Sophie Turner as she prepares to marry Joe Jonas

The Vamps singer, 24,  split from the Game Of Thrones actress in 2014 and he's happy she's found love again.

In an exclusive chat with The Sun, James was asked about his romance with Sophie, 22, which was rumoured to have ended after a Twitter spat between them.

He revealed they actually split six months after the online "joke" and there's no bad blood between them.

James told us: "I've been meaning to put this right for years, and for some reason I haven't.

"So Sophie and I, we actually parted really amicably, and the stuff that was all on Twitter was a joke between me and her.

"We were actually still together when we did all that.

"No-one really got it apart from us, and now, in hindsight, it looks like we had a really messy breakup, but when we did that, we actually carried on dating for, like, six weeks after that and it was fine.

"It was just meant to be a joke that no-one really got. So, no, there's no bad blood between Sophie and I."

James went on to insist he's happy for Sophie now that she's engaged to Jonas Brothers star Joe, 29.

He added: "I've spoken to her a couple times since [she got engaged].

"I really love DNCE, Joe's band, and I'm really happy for them.

"I'm a massive fan of Sophie's work, so it's nice to see someone that I used to know really well succeed, and, yeah, I'm really happy for them.

"I'm looking forward to, hopefully, seeing some wedding pictures whenever they decide to do that."

James is currently Down Under ahead of his appearance on I'm A Celebrity, which returns on Sunday November 18.

Before the All Night hitmaker sets up camp in the Outback and faces gruelling Bushtucker Trials, he is making the most of his luxurious lifestyle sunbathing on the beach.

The star has been pictured basking in the sunshine just days ahead of his appearance on the programme.

James strolled along the sand at Brisbane Beach and paddled in the sea.

The star was also pictured running along the sea front.

James will be joined in the jungle by stars including Noel Edmonds, Fleur East, Harry Redknapp and Emily Atack.

The Chase's Governess, Anne, Hegerty, has also signed up for the programme, which will be hosted by Holly Willoughby and Declan Donnelly.

The group will also be accompanied in camp by Hollyoaks hunk Malique Thompson-Dwyer, and DIY SOS star Nick Knowles.

James is excited to be part of this season's camp, although he doesn't know how he will fair in the trials because he dislikes spiders, snakes and being claustrophobic.

James appears in The Vamps alongside Brad Simpson, Connor Ball and Tristan Evans.

The foursome found fame through YouTube in 2012, and have gone on to boast a successful career.
