George Takei is happy Joe Swash is comfortable kissing him.

The former Star Trek actor - who is openly gay - said despite the actor's heterosexuality, he has no qualms over showing his affection to the 72-year-old.

He said: "I know Joe's heterosexual but he's comfortable embracing me, kissing me."

Meanwhile, fellow campers insisted the pair are good together.

Glamour model Nicola McClean said: "Joe's really good for George, I think he keeps his spirits up, makes him do funny songs which are hysterical and they really get on."

Fellow contestant Carly Zucker added: "George and Joe are lovely, it's amazing how the two of them click."

Joe has been spending lots of time with the actor over the course of the show and has even been teaching him cockney rhyming slang.

He added: "They always say opposites attract. I've got a friend there for a long time with George."
