His parents, Marion and John Sr, are heading out to support him – and they took the time to film a quick message for him before their flight.

"Were really excited about John going into the jungle in Australia," John Sr says in the clip. "And, it's going to be a great time for us because we're flying out there to be a big part of the party, and to celebrate the winner who comes out of the jungle intact..."

Turning to his wife, he adds: "Marion, we hope it's him, don't we?"
