He says: Im afraid of everything to be honest. Im not ashamed to say it.
Singer Simon Webbe has confessed he is frightened about every aspect of the jungle, but not what people think about him.
He says: Im afraid of everything to be honest. Im not ashamed to say it, maybe when I was younger I would turn around and say, Im not afraid of anything, but Im a 30-year-old man so I cant be bothered with that anymore.
Anything that crawls, anything that runs on the floor, anything that slithers, anything that can fall on me and get into little nooks and crannies, Im afraid of everything. So I dont know why Im going to the jungle. I dont like heights, I dont like water I dont swim, I dont even swim in the swimming pool, Im not a very strong swimmer.
I dont really care how people find me. I think there will be a good mixture of people there. I think there will be divas, I think theres going to be anti-divas, theres going to be people that are going to struggle and theres probably people that will bully them if only to take their minds off their own situations. I study human beings; thats my job, thats why I write songs. So for me Im just an observer. Ive been an observer for a long time and Ill make my mind up once I get there.
Simon also reveals hes worried that his friendliness with the ladies could be misconstrued as flirting on camera. The hunky singer said he wouldnt want to upset his girlfriend by flirting with another girl in the camp.
He says: Ive never thought Im a big flirt. Ive gone through years saying to myself, No youre not, youre not, youre not, youre not, youre not, and people have gone, You are, Si, you are.
And Ive realised that now, so obviously I dont want to be flirting because thats not fair on my girlfriend and this is the kind of show where youre going to be put in an environment with people and for me you know Ive got to stay focused and stay true to my lovely girlfriend, which I will be.
If anyones flirting with me then thats a different story. Then Ill just nip it in the bud, and you know just be straight. Do you like me? Ive got a girlfriend put the brakes on it right now.
Hes also worried his worst personal habit of putting his hands down the front of his pants will offend viewers.
He says: My most annoying habit, and one that Ive had since I was a baby so I cant help it, is that I put my hands down my front. Teachers in school used to make me sit on my hands. If Im chilling then I just do it. I dont know where it stems from, whether its from when I was in my mums belly; it must be genetic because I really cant help it.
Thats one habit Ive got which Im trying to stop. One thing that I find annoying in other people is snoring. If people snore when I try to get to sleep I will go crazy. Literally someone will get hurt.
The singer says his other biggest fear about the jungle is getting kidnapped by a gorilla.
