Micky Dolenz rejected an "enormous" amount of money to star on ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’.
The 75-year-old musician – who is best-known as the drummer of The Monkees – has revealed he was once offered an eye-watering sum of money to appear on the ITV show.
He told Goldmine magazine: "I was asked to do a reality show called ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’ where they stick you in the jungle somewhere."
But despite the sizeable sum on offer, Micky was never tempted by the money.
He continued: "They offered me an enormous amount of money. No thanks."
Meanwhile, the ITV show – which is hosted by award-winning duo Ant and Dec – previously came under fire from TV star Chris Packham.
The wildlife presenter hit out at the programme’s use of creatures during the Bushtucker Trials, saying he’d love to get the producers "in a room".
He explained: "When I see them being harmed or killed for entertainment, I wonder if we are not in the Middle Ages.
"It’s about change. People have to accept that we have to make changes now.
"I have never met Ant and Dec but rest assured if I did, I would be chatting about it. But it’s the programme producers I’d really like to get in a room."
‘I’m A Celebrity’ bosses received criticism after Vanessa White was seen holding live bugs in her mouth during a trial.
An ITV spokesman said at the time: "As a production, ‘I’m a Celebrity’ complies with all regional and national laws concerning the use of insects animals and reptiles."
