I’m A Celebrity star Shaun Ryder revealed he once suffered a panic attack that was so severe he was convinced he was going to die.
The Happy Mondays frontman had the horror ordeal during a trip to Hong Kong.
He told the Daily Star Sunday: “When I was younger I thought I was invincible. I thought, ‘I can’t die, I’m invincible’.

“But then I had a panic attack at 53. I thought I was going to die. That totally changed me. It changed my life.”
The incident meant Shaun was a different person when he filmed the new series of I’m A Celebrity.
He said: “This time when I did the show, I was the biggest s***bag in the world. I’ve changed.”
Shaun, 60, who was axed in Friday’s show, is battling a string of health issues including alopecia, ADHD and an overactive thyroid.
The star is also using gel prescribed to menopausal women.
During his stint on I’m A Celebrity in South Africa, he dislodged a hip, leaving him in agony.
Fans were left devastated when Shaun and Gillian got evicted from the South Africa series.
As Gillian refused to put her hand into the box of snakes, it meant the pair lost the task and Shaun had to go home too.
Fans rushed to social media to share their disappointment as one said: “Poor Shaun. Glad Gillian is gone though. Irritating woman.”
Another added: “Pretty obvs Gillian didn’t even try, proper set poor Shaun up.”
And: ‘Gillian didn’t even try!’.
A third commented: “Shaun is taking one for the team. I’ll be gutted to see him go but glad to be rid of Gillian.”
Someone else wrote: “Got to love Shaun, he knew it was curtains so he has saved everyone from the absolutely awful and fake Gillian. Shaun the team player.”
