Amir Khan's screams were music to her ears

The retired boxer is expected to be taking part in the upcoming 'All Stars' spin-off of the ITV reality show, and his wife Faryal Makhdoom admitted she loved seeing her husband's reaction to bugs being poured on him when he first went to the jungle in 2017.

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "His screaming was my ring tone for a bit. It made me feel good."

And while Amir is said to have signed up for the upcoming series in South Africa's Kruger National Park, Faryal has ruled out ever joining the reality show herself.

She laughed: "Even if I got paid £2 million I wouldn't. But I loved seeing him do it."

Back in September, The Sun newspaper reported that Amir would be taking part alongside Phil Tufnell, Paul Burrell, Jordan Banjo, Andrew Whyment, Dean Gaffney, Shaun Ryder, Gillian McKeith, Carol Vorderman, Georgia Toffolo, Helen Flanagan, Janice Dickinson, Myleene Klass, Joe Swash and Fatima Whitbread.

The boxer previously opened up on the idea of returning to 'I'm A Celebrity' and admitted it would "be brilliant".

He told the Daily Mirror: “I’ve been asked to go there. Look, I think it’ll be brilliant. I think people get to see another side of me and it would be nice to do something like that.

"Now that I’ve got time I can do it. Before I couldn’t do it. The only reason I did it last time was because I had the hand injury.

"I said I’m out of boxing anyway because I can’t train with my hand so I’ll go in the jungle. Otherwise I would probably not have done that.”

He described his 2017 jungle experience as one of the "best things" he ever did, "being away from everyone, being focused, focusing on you and what you want to do in life".

#He added: "I didn’t have other voices telling me what to do. I was thinking for myself. I loved it, honestly. The team I had around me was amazing.

"Dennis Wise and Rebekah Vardy and Jamie Lomas. They were all amazing. Everyone was great and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had - apart from seeing spiders and snakes and s***.”
