GK Barry, 26, and Reverend Richard Coles, 63, struck up a bond upon the latter’s late arrival in camp.
The pair have now teased an on-screen reunion, while filming a pilot for a potential new show.
Taking to Instagram, Richard shared a selection of photos of the duo posed together.
He wrote: “You asked, we delivered!
“The wait is finally over as I was reunited with my jungle bestie @gkbarry_ in Worthing today.“
One follower commented: “Love this!! Glorious legends back together!”
Another added: “OMG YESSS. The jungle duo are backkk.”
A third said: “Loved you two in the jungle.”
While a fourth remarked: “Awww buzzing!”
Internet personality GK – real name Grace Keeling – left the ITV jungle in fifth place.
Former Communards star Richard reached the final – finishing third behind Coleen Rooney and Danny Jones.
Viewers saw the Strictly alum share his coming out story in an emotional heart to heart with GK.
They were fascinated as the duo discussed how he juggled being gay with his religion.
GK, real name Grace Keeling, had asked: “Did you find it quite difficult being gay and doing that job?”
Richard confessed: “No, not at all. I’ve never given it a moment’s twinge of anxiety over whether God thought it was alright or not.
“Whether other people thought it was alright or not, well I’m happy to have that argument…”
