Last night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! Saw Warne telling an anecdote about meeting Coldplay’s Chris Martin in a hotel elevator 16 years ago.
Warne said he met the rocker while trying to “sneak” a woman back to his room. But as detail-oriented fans were quick to point out, this happened in 2000, right in the middle of the playboy cricketer’s 10-year marriage to Simone Callahan.
“I’m in the lift. I’ve got someone with me,” Warne explained, adding: “I’m trying to sneak up to my room and I notice a guy in a corner. He also had someone.
“He [Chris] said, ‘What are you doing?’ I said, ‘I think I’m doing the same as you’,” Shane continued.
“I then went up to his room, we had a bit of a giggle … we sat there and talked all night until the sun came up. “
“You know when you just click? Ever since then we’ve been good buddies.”
Warne was married to Simone from 1995 to 2005.
