Harry Redknapp has criticised the behaviour of a fellow contestant during his time on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2018, describing the star as 'tired and disappointing' in his new autobiography. The former football manager, 75, won the show but has revealed behind-the-scenes secrets, including his disappointment with the luxurious Palazzo Versace Hotel.
Redknapp claimed that Noel Edmonds, who reportedly earned £600,000 for appearing, was confident he would not be evicted first. In his book, When Harry Met Sandra, Redknapp wrote: 'Noel whispered in my ear, “This doesn’t concern me or you. We won’t be going anywhere.”' However, Edmonds was the first to leave, and Redknapp noted he 'took his fate on the chin' but was clearly disappointed.
The jungle winner also criticised the five-star Palazzo Versace Hotel on the Gold Coast, calling it 'tired and very disappointing'. He said: 'I thought it was going to be five-star pure luxury... but the hotel looked quite tired and the corridors had plates of half-eaten food outside some rooms.' Despite this, he was relieved to have a shower, proper meal, and decent sleep after his jungle ordeal.
Redknapp also revealed that the camp's WhatsApp group has 'faded out' over time, adding: 'I don’t go on it very often, but then I am not great with all these groups.' His autobiography, When Harry Met Sandra, is published on Thursday, September 29, priced £20 by Mirror Books.
