In Tuesday night's (April 25) I'm A Celebrity... South Africa, Amir revealed all about his bumper wedding, which featured two ceremonies across the continents. He admitted he spent 'about a million pounds' on the special occasion, telling the camp: “I had 4,000 people at my wedding. 4,000!
"I mean, it’s family, friends, everyone likes to be there. If you call one family member they want to bring their auntie, uncle, cousin, brother, sister… I probably spent about a million pounds on my wedding. Can you believe that?”

Pakistani-American model Faryal, 31, was introduced to Amir by a mutual friend. She was born in Brooklyn and graduated from Rutgers University School of Arts & Science with a double major in political science and
