Speaking on Radio X with Vernon Kay, Chris said: ‘I just wouldn’t be good on I’m a Celeb because we had Tiff’s niece last week and we took her to Go Ape, you know the treetop adventure place?
‘I papped myself and I realised I’m more scared of heights than I actually genuinely thought I was, and I knew I was scared of heights.’
He added: ‘This guy was behind me with his daughter, he was talking me across all the bridges: ”You’ll be fine, you’ve got this, don’t worry about it”. Meanwhile his daughter’s like hanging off stuff with one arm.’
