Michael Buerk
Michael Buerk's wife Christine Buerk has insisted that her husband won't quit I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.
The former BBC newsreader's spouse says Michael won't walk from the jungle due to low food rations, as he's faced much tougher situations when working as a foreign news correspondent.
Speaking to the Daily Mail newspaper she shared: "Michael isn't a quitter. I don't see him walking out. He's been in worse places.
"He's been shot at, he's been gassed, he's been blown up in an ammunition dump explosion, he's seen a sound guy die, he's seen a cameraman lose his arm.
"He's been in real reality situations that have been very tough. I would be really, really surprised if he broke."
Her comments follow reports that claimed he was on the brink of leaving the series because of the meagre amount of food, which left viewers worrying about his shrinking figure.
"Michael actually loves rice and beans. I was quite horrified to realise that they only get 500 calories a day in the jungle.
"He does look a bit glum in there, though. With only 500 calories a day, they haven't got enough energy to smile as well."
She was also quick to reassure fans that her husband isn't wasting away.
"He's not got a lot of spare flesh on him, but he's in good shape. I think it's far, far healthier to be a little bit underweight than overweight."
