Im A Celebs Noel Edmonds admits separating from Harry Redknapp resulted in a difficult 24 hours since his shock exit.
The Deal Or No Deal presenter was booted from the ITV show on Friday night and is lamenting on what he will miss the most.
Despite being the highest paid star to ever enter the jungle with a reported £600,000 fee, Noel only lasted nine days – thats well over £60,000 a day.
But since leaving the legendary presenter admitted that he struggled the day after… but maybe not for the reason you might expect.
Appearing on Im A Celebs spin-off show Extra Camp, he said: Ive had a very difficult 24 hours because I miss Harry, I really miss Harry… Harry and I did strike up quite a friendship.
Later on in the show Noel commented: Our friendship will be eternal now.

The 69-year-old commented that he and the 71-year-old former football manager had a blast in the jungle and got on because of their similar ages.
Luckily for Noel, host Scarlett Moffat was able to ease the pain with a framed picture of Harry for Noel to take home.
The TV personalitys shock early exit may have been a blow to ITV bosses, who had reportedly splashed out for his short stint in the jungle.
After his departure on Friday nights episode former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, who seems to be an avid Im A Celebrity fan, was just as upset by the news as we were.
The rocker tweeted: Theres only 1 Noel Edmonds as you were LG x.
Sharing Liams upset, TV presenter Matthew Wright weighed in: What the hell is wrong with the british public – how can Noel Edmonds go first?? The most entertaining camp mate of the bunch! Gutted.

He continued: That almost looks like someone else. I mean the whole thing is such a weird experience. I havent lied, since I came in here I was just going to be myself, open and honest. I havent done anything for effect.
This is in the top 10 life experiences for me. Please believe me, this is just about the finest production Ive ever been involved with… Its incredible, Im humbled and proud to have been a part of it.
So long Noel, it was a (short-lived) pleasure.
