John Barnes wants to go on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' because he fancies "a bit of a holiday".

The retired England footballer - who appears with reigning King of the Jungle Harry Redknapp on new ITV show 'Harry's Heroes: The Full English' - admitted he would be up for jetting to Australia to chow down on creepy crawlies, but thinks the show could be like a vacation.
Appearing on this Saturday's (09.03.19) episode of 'The Jonathan Ross Show', he says: "From the point of view of eating anything, I eat everything and anything, so from that point of view I would do it.
"Lying around doing nothing much, I quite fancy so I'd probably look at it as a bit of a holiday. I would do it, yeah."
He could be in for a rude awakening, as Harry admitted he "nearly pulled out" of the programme just days before the last series kicked off, and Neil 'Razor' Ruddock - who played for West Ham under his management in 1998 - had warned his former boss just how tough it was going to be.
Harry adds: "Razor said, 'It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life ... It was unbelievable.' That scared me.
"I nearly pulled out about a week before but I went with it in the end. It was touch and go to be honest."
And while Harry won the reality show in December, he insisted he had never watched "one second" of the programme before he went into the jungle.
He tells the talk show host: "Jonathan, I had never seen one second of the show, never ever, I swear ... I just went in and I promise you, I honestly thought there would be food... Sure enough, there wasn't."
'The Jonathan Ross Show' airs on Saturday at 9.20pm on ITV.
