James Haskell relates to Jane Moore's frustration at lack of Bushtucker Trials on I'm A Celeb
Former 'I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!' contestant James Haskell can relate to Jane Moore's frustrations in the jungle at not being picked for Bushtucker Trials.
James Haskell can understand why Jane Moore was getting so frustrated about not being picked for Bushtucker Trials on 'I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!' - because you're desperate to get some time out of camp.
The 'Loose Women' star was getting visibly annoyed every time hosts Ant and Dec revealed that she was safe and was thrilled when it was revealed the public had finally voted for her to do a challenge alongside Maura Higgins.
Former England rugby player Haskell - who was a contestant on the ITV reality series in 2019 - can relate to Jane's frustrations, because, when you're in camp, you are desperate to do a task just to escape the mundane chores.
When asked by Slingo if he would’ve liked to have done more than two trials during his time in the jungle, James said, “I would 100 per cent love to have done more. I would have loved to have done as much as I possibly could. You know, if you voted me to every challenge, I would have absolutely loved it. I never admitted to anything that I didn't like because I knew they'd put me in it, so I just pretended I liked everything. But I didn't like spiders. I didn't like anything. But it turns out that I will do anything to be competitive and to win stuff. So I just wanted to do more because I spent a lot of time in that camp doing a lot of the chores, you know, boiling water, checking in on people and the trials were fun.”
Jane, 62, also got irritated with camp leaders Danny Jones and boxer Barry McGuigan for putting her on washing up duty and James, 39, says emotions are heightened in there because of how hungry everyone gets.
He said: "This is just my view on it and it is a fantastic show and it’s an honour to be part of and take on the challenge but you do go really hungry. You’re starved and you don’t realise how much until you’re actually in there. The food you get is almost a quarter of what you think you're going to get, and that will take its toll after a period of time. And I think people who haven't played professional or team sport. Some people don't appreciate that your problems aren't everybody's problem. It takes a lot of discipline not to make everyone else experience your problems but in there you’ve got to do it for the greater good of the camp - don’t go bringing the mood down. But you see it all the time. People just can't handle pressure, can't handle stress and they've never thought about anything other than themselves, and that can be very difficult."
James was speaking to Slingo.
