McFly star Tom Fletcher has opened up about feeling like he’s “letting the side down” after his three bandmates each secured a victory on reality TV shows.
During an appearance on The One Show this week, Tom congratulated fellow band member Danny Jones on his recent win in I’m A Celebrity… and reflected on the pressure of being the only member of McFly without a reality show crown.

Tom Fletcher admits being odd one out
Speaking to hosts Roman Kemp and Lauren Laverne, Tom joked about being the odd one out in McFly’s winning streak.
“Well, we have two in the band. Dougie [Poynter] was King of the Jungle as well, and Harry [Judd] was the king of the dance floor,” he said, referencing Dougie’s 2011 I’m A Celeb win and Harry’s Strictly Come Dancing victory the same year.
He joked that he was the only one “letting the side down”.
Tom also acknowledged his wife, Giovanna Fletcher, who won I’m A Celebrity in 2020.
“And my wife won as well, yes, I’m literally the only one who hasn’t won a reality show. Thanks for reminding me,” he quipped.
Tom took part in Strictly in 2021. He was partnered with Amy Dowden and was the eighth celebrity to be eliminated. When asked if he would ever consider a return to reality TV, Tom admitted it would come with a lot of pressure.
“Well, I can’t now. There would just be the most immense pressure on me to try and win it.”
Despite his reluctance to join a reality show, Tom shared how much he enjoyed watching his bandmates compete.
“To be honest, I love it when my friends are on the shows because it’s the highlight of my year. Sitting back and watching Danny was absolutely brilliant – it was the highlight of our year, and he did so well. It was brilliant watching him.”
