When asked if he was looking forward to his stint in Australia, he said: "It should be nice, fingers crossed anyway."

Questioned if he was scared of jungle creatures such as snakes and spiders, he joked: "There's lots of everything in this country, like sport and beer and I am not scared of sport or beer. So I think I will be alright," according to The Mirror

He then added: "I have absolutely no idea what my family and friends would think of me doing a show like I'm A Celebrity. I have never asked them. But I think they would be much more nervous about me doing Antiques Roadshow."
