Joel Dommett has opened up about being 'catfished' online – which led to the recent leak of his sex tape.

The comedian spoke to his fellow I’m A Celebrity campmates about being tricked by a fake profile after talk in the camp turned to naked selfies.

“[My selfie] is easy to find on the internet, I was catfished,” he explained of a video that was recently released on the internet.

“Basically, someone messaged me on Twitter and after a while she was like, do you want Skype sex? I was like, yeah alright. I was so naïve.”

However, it was years before Dommett's recording was shared on the web.

"Then three years later, they released it," he said. "About a week before I came in here.

“I thought I was having Skype sex with someone but I wasn't - it was just a video of someone, and it turned out it was just someone watching me, watching porn – just like a porno Gogglebox.”

The 30 year-old comedian has been seen flirting with former Countdown star Carol Vorderman in camp – but said before he entered the jungle that he’s ‘not looking for love’ on the show.

“It is an enclosed scenario and I will try not to let feelings be known whilst an entire nation watches you,” he said. “Otherwise you will get out and be thinking ‘why was I doing that?’”
