Kiosk Kev vs the Banker
Deal Or No Deal host and Mr Bobby accomplice Noel Edmonds will join the rest of the I’m a Celeb hopefuls in the Australian jungle.
Following weeks of feverish speculation, Edmonds confirmed on Wednesday morning he will appear on the reality TV show.
“After everything I have done with Gotchas and gunging, I am well aware they are going to put me through absolute hell and I deserve it,” Edmonds said.
“I think the British public will enjoy seeing me finally getting my comeuppance. I just know they are going to really give me a hard time.”
So, while Edmonds will be swarming over TV screens across the nation for the next three weeks of I’m a Celeb he has also promised to retire if he wins…
“I am going to win because I promise the British public if they vote for me, I will retire from television and I will never appear again. There’s a deal that I am striking with the great British public who have supported me over the years – they make me ‘King of the Jungle’ and I will retire and never appear again.”
Mr Bobby’s mate also said Declan Donnelly was responsible for getting him on the show: “It actually started as I was filming with Dec earlier in the year and he said ‘Ah you should do the Jungle.’ Our 15-year-old son, Harrison, was there at the time and he said ‘it will be brilliant; you have got to do the Jungle.'”
“He put me under considerable pressure. The reason why I’m going to have this amazing experience is down to Harrison. I just love the idea that I’m going to live out in the natural environment. I’m looking forward to learning more about myself and meeting people I would never normally ever spend time with.”
