Su Pollard has spurned the opportunity to take part in ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’
Bosses of the popular ITV show had wanted the comedy actress – who is best known for playing Peggy Ollerenshaw in 1980s sitcom ‘Hi-De-Hi’ – to appear on the next series, but Su admits she is too scared to participate.
The 64-year-old star explained: "It’s a great show but I’ve had to say no. I hate creepy crawlies and spiders and snakes, and I just know that I’d be a screamer that everyone picks on."
She added to the Daily Star newspaper: "I couldn’t eat giraffe balls. I couldn’t do those trials.
"The campers would end up anorexic by the end of the show."
Su’s attention is currently firmly fixed on rehearsing for the role of Maid Marian in a new comedy based on Robin Hood, called ‘Ha Ha Ha Hood and The Prince of Leaves’, which is to debut in Chelmsford on August 19.
The next series of ‘I’m a Celebrity’ – the fourteenth in total – is to hit to screens later this year.
Last year’s jungle competition was won by former Westlife singer Kian Egan.
Notable contestants included Joey Essex, Amy Willerton and David Emmanuel.
