What has Tom Read Wilson said about joining I’m a Celeb?
Speaking about the decision to join I’m a Celeb, Tom Read Wilson initially shared his fear about the new challenge.
“My first thought when they approached me about taking part was abject terror. But I have got a very strict rule in life. If the only reason that you don’t want to do it is fear, you must do it, whatever it is,” he said.
He also shared his concern about the lack of intellectual stimulation in the camp. “I’m fearful as a porcupine and I am very nervous that my grey cells won’t dance properly in camp, too. At home, I do a cryptic crossword every day, I always have a book on the go and I am a bit worried that my frontal lobes will drop off if I don’t have a lubricant for it.”
He added: “I can be vague at times and I don’t want to scatter brain cells over the camp.”
