What has Babatunde Aléshé said about joining I'm a Celeb?
Although there have been plenty of iconic clashes during I'm a Celeb over the years, Babatunde told media outlets that he plans to stay away from them during his time on the show.
"I'd walk away from any drama, I've always said I'm like the least famous person here, so I'm not trying to mess up any opportunities," he explained. "So if people want to argue, I'll let them do that. I’m not getting cancelled yet."
