Harry Redknapp's granddaughter Molly, 19, joined her grandmother Sandra Redknapp in Australia to support her grandfather in I'm A Celebrity, and it sounds as if it was a very worth-while trip! The teenager is said to be "officially dating" Harry's campmate Malique Thompson-Dwyer, 20, after meeting at the show's wrap party. According to The Sun, the pair have met up on several occasions since returning to the UK. Molly is the daughter of Harry and Sandra's oldest son Mark, and lives close to her grandparents in Sandbanks. Molly also got on well with the rest of the I'm A Celebrity stars, and joined Harry and Sandra when they met up with Fleur East and James McVey just after Christmas.
