Simon Rimmer keen on I’m A Celebrity stint after friendlier series

Simon Rimmer could be tempted by ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’
The TV chef – who appeared on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ in 2017 – has admitted he would be keen on a stint in the jungle after the camp had a much friendlier atmosphere last year.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, he said: "I’d probably do the jungle. I always said I wouldn’t, but think I’ve become quite intrigued by that…
"It’s a slightly different show now too – it’s a really nice warm cuddly show these days."
Although some viewers were disappointed by the lack of drama, the 56-year-old star was moved by the "really lovely" camp mates and how they interacted with each other.
He added: "In the past it always felt the jungle thrived on the tension in the camp. But this year in particular, I thought was really lovely.
"Just a really nice bunch of people. Emily [Atack] was brilliant, Fleur [East] was brilliant, Harry [Redknapp] was amazing, really good this year."
The ‘Sunday Brunch’ presenter was paired with dancing pro Karen Clifton on ‘Strictly’ two years ago, and when he left after six weeks he praised the "positive" experience.
He said at the time. "Do you know it has been the most amazing experience ever from the minute I walked in through the door.
"The ‘Strictly experience’ is just so positive, every single person involved in it is so positive. And like, all of that lot up there, all the rest of the class of 2017, are just magnificent people. All the pro dancers are amazing."
However, he has now dismissed the idea of trying out his skills on the rink.
He said: "I definitely wouldn’t do ‘Dancing On Ice!’ "
