‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ star Noel Edmonds ate worms from his garden to prepare for his stint in the jungle.
The 69-year-old star revealed that he is taking his stint in the jungle very seriously, and he proved his dedication by doing his own Bush Tucker Trial before flying to Australia to move into the camp.
The former ‘Deal or No Deal’ host told the Sun:
“There are now no worms in our garden, [they taste] exactly like what you’d expect.
“Empty kangaroo testicles I’m better with, so I hope they’re emptied before. I’ve never seen reference to whether they are on not.”
The broadcaster also said that he has pet names for his private parts, but added he isn’t prepared to go nude on screen because ITV aren’t ready for “Mr Happy and the twins”.
Noel, whose career took off in 1969 when he moved to BBC Radio 1 – boasts that he has a “fantastic relationship with the British public” and is confident about his success in the jungle.
However, the former ‘Top of the Pops’ host has claimed if he does win, he will quit because he wants a break from his long career.
He said:
“If they do vote me king I will never appear on television again. Fifty years on TV is long enough — give us a break for Christ’s sake.
“We’ve got enough problems with Brexit… Nexit? Now I’d be very happy to do that deal but on the terms I win the bloody thing.”
Noel is thought to be joining Emily Atack, John Barrowman, Anne Hegerty and the other stars in the jungle tonight (21.11.18).
This year’s edition of the reality show – which features several celebrities who live together in a jungle environment without luxuries – is hosted by Dec Donnelly and newcomer Holly Willoughby.
