Mark Labbett would get "hangry" if he went on 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!'
Mark Labbett would get hangry in the jungle
The 57-year-old star - who is best known as a quizzer nicknamed The Beast on ITV's teatime hit 'The Chase' - explained that if he were to take part in the jungle-based reality survival show, he would end up cooking one of his fellow campmates out of desperation if he got too hungry.
He told The Daily Star newspaper: "I might be the campmate from hell. I get hangry, which is being angry because I'm hungry. And that is not good. I am a man who likes his food. I make no bones about it... my father was a butcher, so I know basic butchery. If somebody crosses me and it affects the food, I will have them up on a spit and roast them within five minutes."
Mark - whose fellow quizzer Anne Hegerty reached seventh place on the show in 2018 - has in recent years switched to a healthier diet and lost 10 stone but joked that producers wanting to hire him for a spot on the show, should be mindful that he is a "psychopath" before giving him a chance.
He said: "If my attitude isn't going to work, they shouldn't hire me. I don't want them getting me on the show then afterwards saying, 'We didn't realise you were such a psychopath!"
Mark is currently dating TV presenter Hayley Palmer and she recently revealed that he would like a shot at competing on 'Strictly Come Dancing' and promised to even help him with his footwork if bosses of the BBC gave him a chance.
Hayley told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "He really wants to do 'Strictly' and I used to be a dancer as well, so I’d be able to help him!"
