I'm A Celebrity Unpacked star Kemi Rodgers reveals she's been dating secret boyfriend for a year
They are very cute togetherI’m A Celebrity Unpacked host Kemi Rodgers has shockingly revealed she has been in a relationship for a whole year. And the public had no idea!
Last year, Kemi joined the panel of I’m A Celebrity Unpacked, alongside Joel Dommett and Sam Thompson. And she was such a hit with the fans, she made her return this year with Joel.
Kemi recently went Instagram official with her boyfriend, Thomas Hannett. But while fans thought that was they were in the early stages of their relationship, it appears that isn’t the case at all.
Kemi Rodgers relationship
Back in September, I’m A Celebrity star Kemi hard-launched her relationship with Thomas while they were drunk in Paris in a social media video.
They used the famous audio of a voice asking: “Are you happy to be in Paris?”, with Thomas lip-synching. Alongside the video, Kemi captioned it: “Wine drunk in Paris and thought the best way to hard-launch my boyfriend on the grid was with the iconic Nicki Minaj ‘Oui’ video. LOL.”
But now, two months later, it seems Kemi was careful with her relationship. And took the time to make sure it was for real, before announcing it to the world.

Speaking to The Mirror, Kemi revealed that long-distance doesn’t really affect them as they were together while she was filming I’m A Celebrity Unpacked last year, too.
She explained: “We are going to have a little bit of a holiday at the end of the show, which I am so excited to see him. But the thing is, we were actually together last year when I did the show. Of course, he didn’t come out for the entire run. Yeah, it’s long distance, but it’s only long distance for a month.”
Kemi admitted that her “heart goes out” to those who do full-time long-distance, as she hasn’t “suffered” having to do that. But she did confirm she is “very excited” to be reunited with him.
Does Kemi enjoy working on I’m A Celebrity
Last year, there were some rumours that Kemi would actually head into I’m A Celebrity herself. But it seems she’s happy on the hosting side of things.
However, there is one thing that she finds strange about being in Australia – the lack of Christmas!
Kemi admitted: “There’s none of the Christmas lead up, which I would argue is probably more fun than actual Christmas. It’s so weird because when I come back it will be a few days before Christmas and you’ll be plunged into darkness and cold, and see Christmas lights everywhere.”
She continued: “Listen, this is not woe is me. But I just think it’s a different vibe. So it is quite nice to just be essentially parachute landed, slap bang into Christmas.”
