Harry Redknapp feared his wife Sandra had fallen seriously ill before his surprise reunion with her on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’.
The 71-year-old football manager grew concerned that Sandra – who had fallen ill with sepsis before he entered the jungle – was sick when he was mysteriously asked by ITV producers to leave the camp before being reunited with her in the Australian jungle.
Appearing alongside his significant other on This Morning today (07.01.19), The King of the Jungle recalled: "I just went into the Bush Telegraph, which is like a hut where you can’t see who you are speaking to.
"The girl in there said to me, ‘Harry, you’ve got to leave the camp now, when you go down the stairs turn left and don’t go back into the camp.’
"I said, ‘Why, am I doing a trial?’ She said, ‘No.’
"I said, ‘Can I get my water bottle and tell the other camp people where I’m going?’
"She said, ‘No you just gotta go down, turn left, there’s a producer waiting to speak to you when you get there.’
"I thought, ‘This is not right, they’re going to tell me something is not right.’ "
The former West Ham United manager also admitted he is still shocked that he "sobbed his eyes out in the jungle" when he was reunited with Sandra – who he has been married to for 51 years – because he never imagined he would cry on TV.
Speaking about her illness, Harry said: "It was only the last week that Sandra had been a lot better because she’d been really bad. It was a really scary illness.
"Sandra had suddenly been taken ill, luckily she got an ambulance otherwise sitting there it could have gotten really dangerous."
