Barry McGuigan has walked through streets that were engulfed in flames, marched around rings that were coated in as much blood and sweat as the boxer himself, and this week almost flooded a jungle – bringing viewers of I’m A Celebrity...

The theory ahead of this season was that McGuigan has witnessed and partaken in enough disturbing scenes – for enough lifetimes – to be unfazed by his surroundings. Yet a matter of days into the show, McGuigan was overcome. Not by critters or claustrophobia, but by emotion, as he broke down while discussing losing his daughter.
