He is the youngest contestant in this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.

And George Shelley truly seemed to be the baby in need of nurturing as he heartrendingly broke down on Saturday night's episode of the jungle-based reality show.

The 22-year-old Union J hunk sought comfort in his mother-figure Susannah Constantine, 53, as he revealed the camp was bringing him down.

Taking a break: George Shelley truly seemed to be the baby of the group in need of nurturing as he heartrendingly broke down on Saturday night's episode of the jungle based reality show

George, who was tipped to be this year's heartthrob, appeared to be feeling extremely alone despite being surrounded by his fellow celebrities.

The hunky star, who found fame on The X Factor in 2012, became overwhelmed while the group were gathered around the fire at which point he appeared to burst into tears.

Kindhearted Susannah took him aside and listened to his woes, as he sobbed on her shoulder and explained his feelings of isolation.

He said: 'I just don't want to be out here... I wasn't expecting to feel like this about it. It’s not the challenges, It’s the living.'

Sorrowful: Poor George was obviously missing his home comforts and supportive pals

Upset: The 22-year-old Union J hunk sought comfort in the arms of his jungle mother-figure Susannah Constantine as he revealed the camp was bringing him down

She enveloped him in a hug and said: 'Just cry let it out... I don't care if I get snot on my shoulder' before asking him if he was feeling trapped.

George responded: 'When other people feel like it, it takes my mind off it because I pick them up. But when it’s me it’s like... I’m not here to be a celebrity, I’m just here to have fun.

'So I’m having fun doing the challenges and stuff but that’s 10 minutes of the day. The rest of it is all this and it’s just bringing me down.'

Struggling: George said: 'When other people feel like it, it takes my mind off it because I pick them up. But when it’s me it’s like... I’m not here to be a celebrity, I’m just here to have fun

Shoulder to cry on: Susannah was the perfect confidante for the woebegone pop star

After his candid confessions, mother-of-three Susannah offered some kindly words, saying: 'When I get a feeling like that where I feel overwhelmed and you can’t put your finger on what you feel overwhelmed by, what I do is I don’t think about how many days I’ve got, I literally just think about now and this very moment.'

It appears the problem lay in George not having his usual support network surrounding him including his Union J bandmates.

He said: 'It’s all just happened. When I’ve come into X Factor I’ve had the other boys so there are people around me but here it’s just me and it’s a really strange feeling.

Respectful: Despite his high emotions, George did not forget to laud Susannah for her kindly words

'I forget home. I can’t even put myself at home. It’s weird. It’s like this is my life.'

Despite his high emotions, George did not forget to laud Susannah for her kindly words.

He said: 'I knew before I met you I was going to be close to you. There’s certain people in my life even before I’ve met them. I didn’t know you before this I just knew you from the show but I was like I knew I’d get on with you.'

Terrifying: George was no doubt brought down by the fact that he and the other Snake Rock campmates were forced to throw themselves into the Trailer Of Torment as part of a cruel task

George was no doubt brought down by the fact that he and the other Snake Rock campmates were forced to throw themselves into the Trailer Of Torment as part of a cruel task.

While the members of Creek Croc indulged in an epic banquet after winning the last task, George and his fellow Snake Rock crew were forced to sit in a terrifying trailer which filled with disgusting bugs while watching the fine diners on a screen.

As they sat in the dirty looking trailer they were told if they could all stay inside for the duration of the challenge they would each win meals that evening.

Winners! As they sat in the dirty looking trailer they were told if they could all stay inside for the duration of the challenge they would each win meals that evening

Susannah ensured her entire body was covered for the trip as she said: 'I’ve forfeited any sense of style I’ve got, god only knows what I look like – I don’t care because I don’t want anything crawling in and I’ve plugged every orifice of my body.'

Once the trailer door was shut the celebrities faced numerous critters including snakes, cockroaches, spiders and despite the disgusting challenge, they all managed to stay strong and ultimately won the challenge and won the meals.

Another task was undertaken by Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison and Spandeau Ballet crooner Tony Hadley.

It takes two: Another task was undertaken by Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison and Spandeau Ballet crooner Tony Hadley

Success! Tony and Vicky took part in Amazeballs – a challenge to win Dingo Dollars for camp, meaning they faced three large mazes on and the challenge was to throw balls into a hole in the middle of the maze and try and get the balls to drop below into a bucket by moving the mazes around

Tony and Vicky took part in Amazeballs – a challenge to win Dingo Dollars for camp, meaning they faced three large mazes on and the challenge was to throw balls into a hole in the middle of the maze and try and get the balls to drop below into a bucket by moving the mazes around.

They both got off to a bad start with the challenge proving more difficult than they imagined, with Vicky exclaiming: 'Horrific start, it was mortifying.'

Finally they completed the task and won dingo dollars, “We’ll have a very happy camp tonight.” said Vicky.

At the price of $100 the duo spent their Dingo Dollars on six donuts - much to the joy of their sugar starved overjoyed campmates.
