Harry Redknapp’s wife "hates" being in the spotlight.
The 71-year-old football manager was crowned King of the Jungle on Sunday (09.12.18) after delighting ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ viewers with his tales of marital bliss to spouse Sandra, who he met when they were both 17, but she’s not enjoying the attention and definitely doesn’t want to capitalise on her new-found fame.
Asked if he’d like them to become the new Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan, he told The Sun newspaper: "I don’t know about that. She likes everything quiet, it’s really not her style. She hates that this has all happened really.
"She’s happy being at home.
"She likes going out for dinner just the two of us, with the grandkids and the dogs.
"She don’t want the publicity — but she’s stuck with it now."
In 2016, Harry accidentally ran Sandra over when her coat got trapped in the car door and though he felt like a "stupid idiot" and described the incident as the "worst experience" of his life, his wife never tried to make him feel guilty.
He said: "It was the worst experience of my life but she honestly never even blamed me — and it was completely my fault.
"I wasn’t concentrating, I thought she’d crossed the road and then I pulled into the road and she was backed up against my car.
"She never said to me, ‘You should have watched what you were doing’ or made me feel bad. Even when she was laying with a broken ankle in the road she was just unbelievable, she didn’t scream…
"In hospital I kept apologising. But she just said, ‘You thought I’d crossed the road, there’s no blame’.
"She didn’t say, ‘You stupid idiot’, even though I felt like a stupid idiot."
