Babatúndé Aléshé panicked and quit his first Bushtucker Trial just seconds into the challenge, and he also used to regularly get “scared” at work and talk himself out of performing numerous stand-up comedy gigs.
The Celebrity Gogglebox star, 34, has told how anxiety affected his early stand-up career, during which he backed out of several shows because he feared gig-goers wouldn’t find him funny.
