On Sunday night's episode ofI'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here,contestant Grant Denyer shared with his fellow campmates the story of how he fell in love with his wife, Chezzi Denyer.

The 43-year-old television host explained they were both with other people at the time.

"She worked on Sunrise. She was my producer. We didn't like each other. We hated each other... She was really pushy. And I was pretty arrogant, so we didn't like one another at all," he explained.

"Then one day... It was so weird. One day we just brushed hands. And I just felt a tingle from my head to my toe. Just this massive feeling.

"It was a little bit tricky. Unfortunately, we were both sort of with partners at the time. It was so confusing and there was people's hearts involved. And she was married," the Gold Logie winner said.

"Sunrise is a family show, everyone talks about their family all the time. It made something that was already difficult very complex.

"It leaked out of our office. Intentionally, I think. And things were being written then."

While Denyer kept his job as the breakfast show's weatherman, Chezzi lost her job.

"Got to a point where they actually marched her out of the building," Denyer recounted. "I was like, 'Oh, this is all collapsing.' Yeah, she sacrificed a lot."

While both Grant and Chezzi have shared this story previously, some campmates were unaware of how they'd met.

A baby due in March 2021

In August 2020, Grant Denyer and his wife Chezzi announced that they were expecting their third child together.

The couple, who share daughters eight-year-old Sailor and four-year-old Scout, announced their newest family member is due in March 2021.

"So, we have some news. Our mum is pregnant! And mum's really sick. And she's been resting for days," the couple's two daughters explained in a video shared to Instagram.

"It's so exciting that she's got a baby," they added.

"We're so excited to play with it and look after it."

Chezzi opened up about the struggles the couple went through to have another baby, sharing they suffered three miscarriages before finally falling pregnant.

"I speak to people all the time who have struggled to fall pregnant," she said on her and Grant's new podcast It's All True?.

"It becomes a really big obsession, because you don't understand why it happens for some people and it doesn't happen to you."

"You look at how crazy I became. By that last miscarriage, I just was defeated. It was heartbreaking."

"I remember I was sort of, chatting about it and you were like... shall we just, give up?" Grant responded.

"That's going to make me cry," replied Chezzi.

She added that she didn't want things to get too dark and heavy but "it was tough".

"Nobody really knew our private journey. Miscarriages are hard. It was hard. We shed a lot of tears and it was difficult."

Since announcing her third pregnancy, Chezzi has shared her experience with hyperemesis gravidarum – a pregnancy complication that can cause severe nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.

"Many have asked my advice on how I am handling [hyperemesis gravidarum] for a third time," the TV producer wrote.

"I guess I just wanted this third child of ours for such a long time... that the feeling of holding it in my arms one day and loving it outweighed the pain and anguish I knew the HG would cause me," she continued.

"But, it hasn’t been that simple."

Chezzi shared that in recent weeks, she has questioned "if I could hang on".

"It became so challenging mentally and physically I thought I might die," she wrote.

"That’s when I leant on my husband a great deal and to his credit he stepped up.

"He would hug me, hold my hair back, rub my back, pack the girls' lunches, drive them to school, rush home to help me shower, go looking for sour lollies at different shops, listen to me cry, hug me again and tell me it was going to be alright."

Earlier in August, Chezzi said that she had been "literally bed ridden for over eight weeks" with the condition.

"Can’t keep food or water down. Profusely vomiting. Severe nausea. Feeling faint and dizzy. Waking through t
