Jungle victor Christopher Biggins has told how he turned down a second stint on I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
The 2007 winner refused to take part in an all-star special, due to be filmed in South Africa.
Explaining why he didn’t want to be immersed in bugs again, the 73-year-old said: “I wouldn’t want to risk losing my King of the Jungle title. I’ve done it and I loved it so it can only be disappointment. I am sticking with the good memories – and they were wonderful memories.
“I don’t think it is [the same]. You’ve got to move on and do other things.”

Biggins, who spoke out as he attended a performance of South Pacific at London’s Sadler’s Wells, added: “Winning because you were voted by the public was so special, you can’t top that.”
The panto favourite went on to say that Big Brother ’s television return should be cancelled.
The former Celebrity BB contestant, who was ordered off the show in 2016 after reportedly making an offensive jibe, said: “I hated that show. Oh, it’s vile… I would never go near it.”
