RICHARD Madeley has shut down rumours he’s set to appear on I’m A Celebrity… South Africa.
The presenter, 66, was back to host Good Morning Britain this morning and was quizzed by Susanna Reid about making a return to the ‘jungle’.
Richard Madeley was back on Good Morning Britain today
The presenter left the show after a ‘disturbing’ health scare
It comes as the first nine stars taking part in an all-stars series for the show’s 20th anniversary have been confirmed.
But Richard ruled out making a comeback.
“You should never go back,” Richard said.
Susanna explained: “You wouldn’t be going back, we’re not asking you to go back to Wales!”
Richard then pointed out the differences between I’m A Celeb being in Australia and South Africa.
He said: “I quite enjoy the jeopardy of it being live.
“It’s pre-recorded so the viewers can’t torment you.”
Richard agreed to star in I’m A Celebrity 2021 in Wales.
After isolating away from his wife Judy Finnigan, Richard entered the castle with co-stars.
But after suffering a health scare overnight, Richard was forced out of the show.
He explained: “I broke the covid bubble for about two hours so I couldn’t go back.”
After leaving the show, Richard insisted he was “as fit as a fiddle” following a dramatic few days – and gave the reason behind his “disturbing” medical emergency.
He said that he “wasn’t functioning at all” when he woke up “incoherent” and “unable to string a sentence together”.
Asked if he knew when he was taken to hospital that he wouldn’t be able to get back into camp, Richard explained: “No, the penny didn’t drop – mind you, I wasn’t functioning at all.
“I think what happened to me was I got dehydrated, that’s all it was, but dehydration is actually quite disturbing – basically I think I’d been up for about 20 hours, I knew I was feeling thirsty and I’m quite bad at remembering to drink water.
“As I snuggled into my sleeping bag, and it was freezing, I thought I’d not had a big drink in a while but I’ll do it when I wake up in the morning.
“Next thing I know I was sitting there babbling, just talking nonsense.”
Ant and Dec revealed the exciting all-stars news during Saturday Night Takeaway – and they promised “it’s bigger and wilder than we could have hoped for”.
