Pink called her husband Carey Hart an "idiot" for signing up for a reality TV show.

The 45-year-old pop superstar has been married to former professional freestyle motocross competitor Carey, 49, since 2009 and was initially a little shocked that he had agreed to appear on the upcoming season of the military series 'Special Forces: World's Toughest Test' but then decided to support him.

Asked about his wife's reaction, he told TooFab: "The first words were 'You're an idiot!' I hear that a lot. It's nothing new. But she knows my mentality and my personality.

"And she was like, 'Look, if you're going to do it, I support it. And go kick a**!"

Carey - who has Willow, 13, as well as seven-year-old Jameson with the 'So What' hitmaker - added that while he has had a "very successful" career, he hasn't been able to "challenge" himself for years so now sees this as the new chance to do that.

He said: "I've had a very successful career. I'm in my super extreme twilight of my career. I'm lucky enough to still do it. But I haven't had a chance to really push and challenge myself since probably my early 30s.

"I play inside of this pond that is my job in as safe a way as I can. And I wanted to have an experience to go out and put it on the line and give 100% at something and completely immerse myself. And this was that opportunity."

The sports star noted that if his wife were to take up a place on the tough challenge show, she would likely do very well.

He said: "I feel like she would kill it. She ... Let me choose my words wisely here. She would absolutely kill it because she is physical and coordinated enough to. But I don't see her doing any of these things.

"That's my politically correct answer!"
