Babatúndé Aléshé says he considered quitting I'm A Celebrity on several occasions - and insists it was a "tactical choice" to pull out of his first trial The Ledge.
Speaking for the first time in-depth about his experience he said he was close to leaving, something not shown on ITV.
Asked if he ever considered quitting, he said: "Definitely. It is intense, it’s not easy, being there is not easy at all – it’s not a joke you’re really in the middle of the jungle, it's not a set. There’s no ‘can I have a biscuit?’ on the side. They don’t give it to you, it’s real and we learnt in the first week that they’re not playing.
