Weeks after his stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here, radio DJ Chris Moyles has returned to his day job to reveal what really went on behind the scenes. The Radio X host was the sixth celebrity to leave the Australian jungle after surviving after 20 days in camp.
During his time on the ITV show, the former BBC Radio 1 presenter was famously remembered for getting a mere one stars in his solo trial Boiling Point, which saw him work his way through an underground tunnel collecting stars with a spanner.
Chris admitted his struggles with feeling claustrophobic as part of the trial saw him holding his breath and scrambling under water to retrieve a star in what was a confined space. The DJ got two stars but admittedly lost the second one during the trial.

But aside from his struggles during the trials, Chris' feelings towards MP Matt Hancock have become even more clear since leaving the jungle.
Having returned to his role hosting his own show on Radio X, the 48-year-old has now revealed he walked out of the camp after being riled by Matt Hancock's comments, reports The Mirror.
The radio presenter had several conversations with the former health secretary whose appearance on the ITV show sparked controversy before he had even entered the jungle.
In his first interview with his fellow Radio X team after his exit, Chris slammed Matt Hancock for being 'fake ', but after returning onto the show he has now admitted that he walked from the camp in reaction to the MP's comments.
Speaking on Radio X, Chris said: “ Matt Hancock kind of dived around a few questions I thought, and then said, ‘I guess all I'm just asking for is forgiveness’.
"At that point I had to walk out of camp and just get away because I personally found that quite fake. And that really wound me up."
He added: “He's an MP and he's paid to look after people and their interests and hopefully make their lives better. I don't know how he does that by going on the jungle show.”
Viewers were baffled when the MP decided to go on the show after been slammed for breaking his own lockdown rules when he was caught in a clinch with former aide Gina Coladangelo.
However, after winning a number of trials and asking for "forgiveness", Mr Hancock appeared to win the public round, coming third on the programme as a result.
The MP is now back in Blighty and was seen outside the Houses of Parliament on Friday morning ahead of presenting his bill on dyslexia.
Speaking to Ant and Dec in Australia, Matt said: "I wanted to show what I was like as a person. Lots of people come to me with preconceived ideas, for obvious reasons."
