I'm a Celeb: Emily asks Harry to set her up with Jamie Redknapp
Emily Atack, 28, told Harry Redknapp, 71, she fancies his son, Jamie Redknapp, 45, during a chat on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! after asking whether he was single.
The Inbetweers actress joked to the football manager she would make a great daughter-in-law and mimed to the camera for Jamie to call her.
Now Jamie has responded to Emily’s gesture and admitted she’s “so sweet”.
The Sky Sports pundit said of the blonde beauty: "She's so sweet in the programme.”
It was such a nice conversation
He continued to The Sun: ”It was such a nice conversation and I thought 'all right dad, where are you going with this one?'
"It was funny the way she handled it afterwards, it did make me laugh.
“He's like Tinder in there, dad is isn't he?”
At the end of last year, Jamie and his wife of 19 years, Louise Redknapp, were granted a divorce.
Emily’s mum, Kate Robbins, appeared on Good Morning Britain this week via video link to discuss her daughter’s cheeky revelation about Jamie.
The comedian said: “She was so cheeky wasn't she?! What a cheeky little mare.
“The way she say, ‘Oh, I’m only joking, I don’t want to marry Jamie Redknapp — call me Jamie!’”
Kate revealed she and 71-year-old Harry’s wife Sandra found the conversation hilarious, saying: “I’ve had a good laugh with Sandra about it.
“Sandra is so wonderful and Harry’s granddaughter Molly as well. We all hang out together, all the families get on really well.”
She added: “I did say to Sandra, ‘Well, we’re in the same family now!’ We’ve had a good laugh about it.”
Kate admitted she thought Jamie is “gorgeous” and said Emily’s “only human” to fancy him.

Harry is currently favourite to be crowned King of the Jungle on the final on Sunday night.
The star is the 1-3 favourite with bookmakers Coral but Emily is close behind at 6-1.
“Harry looks to be on course to be crowned the King of the Jungle this weekend as he is long odds-on to win the show,” said Coral’s John Hill.
“The betting suggests Harry and Emily will be the last two contestants and many punters will be hoping there isn’t an upset as Harry has been very popular from day one.”
