"I've got three kids, so dealing with lack of sleep comes with the territory," the former rugby player said when he was asked what the biggest challenges he will face in the jungle are. In previous years, many campmates have claimed sleep evades them during the show due to creepy crawlies and uncomfortable hammocks.

Mike's sleeplessness is something Princess Kate can relate to. Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Princess of Wales was heard discussing "lack of sleep" with troops when she and her husband visited an army training centre in Pirbright, Surrey.

While Mike isn't fazed by a lack of sleep, he is wary about his hunger levels.
