Watch as Irish Australian football star Zach Tuohy gives his tearful mammy Marie a big shock when he walked in the door of Ramsbottoms pub in Portlaoise, still wearing his gear from I'm A Celebrity Australia.
Zach who retired from his record breaking career last year and has since written a book about it, exited the show after 27 tough days in the jungle, all in hopes of raising money for charity @heartkids
His parents had watched the show every day at home.
Zach with his parents Noel and Marie, brother Noelie, sisters Hannah and Naomi in Ramsbottoms celebrating his surprise visit.
Zach thanked his supporters as he exited the show, describing it as "once in a lifetime experience, some incredible people, and got to bring a little bit of awareness to the Heartkids foundation which is an incredible cause".
