OHMYGOSSIP — Vernon Kay is doing ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’ for his daughters.
The 46-year-old TV presenter – who has Phoebe, 16, and Amber, 11, with his wife Tess Daly – has revealed his daughters have inspired him to appear on the ITV show.
He shared: “I am doing it for my daughters, Phoebe and Amber. It’s a show they watch on a regular basis and they get behind the people in the camp. I think the fact I am involved in it will make it even more fun for them!
“And now it is approaching, they are so excited. Every time I talk about it, I get a double fist pump from them and they are thrilled to be involved.”
Vernon acknowledges that the trials could be a big challenge for him as he suffers from claustrophobia.
However, he is determined to totally commit himself to the show.
He admitted: “I am scared of confined spaces and being claustrophobic in water is a big one. I don’t like that. The coffin trial? I am 6 ft 4 and so it is going to take a heck of a lot of water to get to my nose!
“But I will try my best in the trials to get as many stars as I can for my camp mates.”
Vernon is also happy to be returning to work, as the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted his plans this year.
The presenter – who has been married to Tess since 2003 – described what’s happened in recent months as a “kick in the nuts”.
He said: “I am not missing anything as 2020 has been a kick in the nuts for everyone! I have not been working really this year and so we will have to see how this goes now!”
‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’ launches on Virgin Media One on November 15.
