Jamie Redknapp has revealed that he had no idea that his dad, footballer manager Harry Redknapp, was taking part in I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! until he read about it. The retired footballer admitted that his famous dad had kept the news a secret because he didn't want his son to "tell him off". Chatting to The Sun about Harry's upcoming jungle adventure, Jamie said: "I read that he was doing it, so I went to him, 'What's going on? You're doing the jungle?' He said, 'I didn't want to tell you, you'll tell me off.'"

Speaking about his dad's fears, he added: "Dad hasn't really got any phobias, to be honest. As a kid he was never worried about spiders. I'm worried about him with the shower scene in his pants!" Speaking about joining the show, Harry joked: "I don't have any idea what I'm in for, no. Who's going to wash my pants? ...I'm pretty useless at looking after myself." The 71-year-old will be joined in the jungle by John Barrowman, Emily Atack and Ruth Simons. Speaking about the show, John said: "The Bucktucker Trials don't frighten me, they concern me... If somebody is not motivated to get those stars, I might be unforgiving."
