Miriam Margolyes has taken a swipe at I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, vowing never to appear on the show. The 82-year-old actress told the Waitrose Dish podcast that despite being asked, she would not take part, saying: 'I've got class, love. I'm not doing that.'
Margolyes also ruled out appearing on Strictly Come Dancing, adding: 'They must have been f*****g nuts. And they asked me to go in the jungle. No.' She admitted she only wrote her memoir because she was offered a lot of money, saying: 'When you're old and you know that your earning potential is diminishing you've got to get the money while you can.'
The new series of I'm A Celebrity launches on Sunday, with a lineup including Fred Sirieix, Grace Dent, Danielle Harold, Marvin Humes, Josie Gibson, Jamie Lynn Spears, Sam Thompson, Nella Rose, Nigel Farage and Nick Pickard. Farage, the former Brexit Party leader, said he expects to be voted for trials because 'millions hate me' but hopes to show he is 'not nasty'.
