Limahl admits he is going to have a tough time in the jungle because he is scared of 'everything and anything' you could possible face up to in the wilds.
But the former lead singer of Kajagoogoo has not had any therapy nor has he been hypnotised to combat his fears because he is even frightened of 'letting someone else take control'.
He reveals: "I do have phobias of everything you can name. But the problem with hypnotism is handing control over to someone else - and that is one of my phobias. What have I let myself in for? I am asking myself the same question.
"I am also an emotional person and I am not embarrassed by that. I think there is a very good chance that I could break down in the jungle.
"There is a real sense, however, that I am going to go for it. It is a journey and it is about winning those stars and coming out the other side, hopefully sane and in one piece."
Describing himself as an optimist and a friendly person, Liamhl - who had hits with Kajagoogoo's Two Shy and then 'The Never Ending Story' as a solo artist in the 1980s - also confides he doesn't know how he will cope without his home comforts.
Says the pop star: "I am going to miss my power shower in the morning, my hairdryer, my microwave porridge, honey, my 42 inch plasma TV, my gadgets, my laptop, my MP3 player, all the usual home comforts. I am sorry to say this but it's a never-ending list!
"But I do think this is such a challenge, both physically and mentally, that I wanted to have a go. I live in a jungle in London and this is a different kind of jungle. I can't compare it to anything I have done before. And yet if my own heroes and heroines, Christopher Biggins, Toyah Wilcox and Sheila Ferguson, can do it, then so can I."
Although he doesn't like people who are 'self-obsessed, a bit loud or uncaring,' Limahl is hoping to entertain his fellow celebrities around the campfire and the 53-year-old reveals he would love to form the jungle's very own choir.
"I would love to provide a little entertainment by singing," he says laughing. "That would be nice. It's very popular on TV and so perhaps I could form a choir in the jungle too.
"I also like to see myself as an agony uncle. I could be the shoulder to cry on or the group psychologist."
Since shooting to fame in the Eighties, Limahl has gone on to release further material as well as perform at a lot of pop events. He also briefly reunited in 2003 with the other members of Kajagoogoo for a special TV show, Bands Reunited, which aired a year later.
But when he enters the jungle, Limahl thinks it will be interesting to find out if viewers like the 'real him' away from his pop persona and spiky hair that he is also famous for.
Revealing he will be taking his hair wax into the jungle as his luxury item, Limahl - whose real name is Christopher Hamill - explains: "People know so little of me. Those hits captured the moment, but that was almost 30 years ago now. It's quite hard for me to relax and be Chris when I am not working. Just like an actor does with a role, it's comforting to hide behind my character and to suddenly reveal me and the every day me scares me to death."
As for whether he will be releasing a song after he walks away from the celebrity camp, the singer says his first goal is to get through the experience. "I feel so proud of everything I have achieved and it is lovely that my soundtracks take people back to their first love or holiday," adds the singer. "I have gained value like an antique. If there is an Eighties event, I normally get the call and that is a nice problem to have.
"But I really do want to get out of this first!
"Doing I'm A Celebrity is harder than performing on stage. It is completely unknown territory and I am going to give it my best shot.
"I am pretty sure it will be an experience of a lifetime. The whole concept of the show is a brilliant one and to throw people out of their comfort zone is the reason why I'm A Celebrity is so popular."
He pauses, laughs and then adds: "But who knows I hope you are right and I do walk away not scared of anything...!"
