Gary Rhodes would enter the jungle for celebrity reality TV show

Gary Rhodes would follow celebrity chefs Antony Worrall Thompson and John Burton Race into the jungle on ITV’s reality show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.

The Michelin-starred chef told the Sun newspaper he would be interested in appearing on the jungle show, adding that his only concern would be the other contestants.

Rhodes said: “I am adventurous and I wouldn't mind going in the jungle.”

“It's just the people I'd get lumbered with that worries me. I would always definitely, definitely go in if I could be with the Manchester United squad and Alex Ferguson.”

During last year’s season of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here John Burton Race’s wife – who he was divorcing - famously closed his Michelin-starred restaurant while he was appearing on the show, sacking its 20 staff.
