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."

"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." [caption id="attachment_209179" align="alignnone" width="1303"]
