When asked if his time in the castle helped him turn his life around he tried to fight back the tears.
He answered: “A bit. I looked at it as…” but he had to stop to compose himself before adding: “Ooh you got me you bugger.
“I’d looked at it as if it was going to be a new start. There’s a lot of stuff still going on. Mentally, I’ve sorted myself out. My head was in the right place going in there which is why I’ve loved it so much.”

He admitted he was nervous about going on the reality show as he’s spent his lifetime reading off scripts.
“Yeah because I haven’t got a script. I’ve spent 36 years with a script,” he said, “I’m not like Simon. He’s just naturally funny, I need somebody to play off which was Simon. We kind of knew each other from before and it helped – but everyone has been amazing.”

During his stint on I’m A Celeb, he decided to take on a lot of tasks and chores and he explained why he shunned his usual “lazy persona”.
“Normally, I’m lazy,” he said, “If I can sit there on my phone and do nothing for three hours, I will take that option, but in there, there’s no other distractions so you’ve got to keep your mind active, so I did everything.”
Although, the actor admitted he deliberately stayed away from cooking, mostly to avoid the drama and rows between Naughty Boy and Kadeena Cox over the cooking.
