Dougie Poynter won't look for love in the jungle on I'm A Celebrity

Dougie Poynter from McFly has opened up about how he has been preparing for his stint on the forthcoming new series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.

The star, who spent time in rehab earlier this year, was confirmed this week as a contestant on the entertaining survival show and upon arriving in Brisbane ahead of the first episode, he explained that he hasn't worked out or spent time at the gym so might keep his shirt on:

"I watched a lot of Bear Grylls! I don't work out. I should have done before I came here instead of eating my weight in peanut M&Ms."

Poynter's bandmate Harry Judd is currently showing off his own skills on Strictly Come Dancing and offered him some advice on how to approach a reality show: "Harry just told me to get stuck in and not be a d***. But I don't think I can win."

He also added that romance isn't something he's looking for during his time in the jungle: "I'm not looking for love. I wouldn't be bothered if one of my exes was in there, I've stayed friends with them all."
