EX Blue boy band member Simon Webbe, who was brought up in Birmingham, is among the latest batch of stars heading for the jungles of Oz.

He and Birmingham born Robert Kilroy-Silk will join eight others in this year’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!

Webbe, who was brought up in Bordesley Green and is currently dating X Factor reject, Layla Manoochehri, of Henley-in-Arden, said: “Anything that crawls, anything that runs on the floor, anything that slithers, anything that can fall on me and get into little nooks and crannies.

“I’m afraid of everything, so I don’t know why I’m going to the jungle. I don’t like heights, I don’t like water – I don’t swim.”

Webbe, aged 30, added: “Maybe when I was younger I would turn around and say, ‘I’m not afraid of anything,’ but I’m a 30-year-old man so I can’t be bothered with that any more.” The two week ITV show, presented by Ant and Dec, starts on Sunday.
