The 46-year-old singer - whose festive album 'The Christmas Present' topped the UK album charts last year - insisted he would be up for the ITV reality show, but only if he felt like he "had to" go down the reality route due to a lack of success with his songs.

Speaking to Magic Radio's Emma B on Tuesday (01.12.20), he said: "I mean, the answer is yes I would do it, but thankfully my career is in a place where I don't have to.

"I would, you know, if I was in a place where I had to, I would be, I would beg, steal and borrow to be part of that cast."

And while the 'Let Me Entertain You' hitmaker claimed he'd be fine with the disgusting eating and bug trials on 'I'm A Celebrity...', he would hate to have to jump "out of an aeroplane" to arrive in camp.

He added: "I wouldn't have a problem with any of the stuff on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here' apart from jumping out of an aeroplane.

"I'm really - it's not that I could never do that. It's just I really, really don't want do that. I don't want to do that.

"I quite like the idea of eating rubbish and I quite like the idea of seeing what it's like to have, uh, maggots crawl around and dealing with snakes and rats and all of that business.

"That wouldn't be a problem. Just the jumping out of a perfectly good aeroplane or helicopter is not for me."

Robbie had high praise for Magic presenter Ruthie Henshall, who has been delighting viewers with her current stint in the castle.

He gushed: "Every time Ruthie Henshall is on, I am just reminded of her incredible talent. You know, she’s an imperial theatre person and it's good to see her on the television. I like it.

"She makes me smile every time she's on. Especially with her like over-sharing about the Prince, but it was great. It was great. It was just, like, have you forgotten, all of these cameras. So I thank her for that.”
