Has footballer turned TV presenter Gary Lineker said too much again? After news that his old foe Nigel Farage is going into the I’m A Celebrity jungle (they have clashed on Twitter before) we asked Lineker for his thoughts. It turns out he isn’t a great fan of the show, or of much TV in general. “It’s rubbish. Why would you want to watch that?” he told us on Wednesday night. “It’s like Strictly Come Dancing. It’s the same every series. In the end it becomes boring. It’s like Match of the Day… ooh shit!” He backtracked a little. “I think Ant and Dec are great, but I don’t really give a flying f*** who’s in the jungle.” Would he ever consider going in? “There are no circumstances. You only go in the jungle if you need the money or if you need the fame.” Lineker has both and he knows it. He has recently been making a fortune from Goalhanger, his podcast company.
