Jack Osbourne’s father Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne passed away earlier this year
TV star Jack Osbourne’s stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! could serve as ‘therapy’ for him, according to singer Peter Andre. Andre, who took part in the third series back in 2004, explained that contestants experience significant ‘downtime’ between filming sessions, providing ample opportunity for self-reflection.
Speaking to ITV’s Good Morning Britain (GMB) on Friday, Andre said: “I probably think that’s why someone like Jack Osbourne doing it is a good thing for him. I mean, I don’t know his reasons for doing it, but it probably could be a bit of therapy for him.
“Because it is just you, you’re in the wilderness. Yes, you’re surrounded by people, but there’s a lot of downtime, a lot of time that you’re on your own. And even though there are cameras everywhere, you can’t see them. They’re hidden, they’re camouflaged.”
He then added: “The cameramen – you can’t talk to them, they won’t answer you[…] It brings a lot out of you. You’re just you, and there are no phones.”
Osbourne, whose dad, Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne, passed away earlier this year, revealed he was heading into the jungle to distract himself from recent events. He mentioned that his mum, Sharon, and sister, Kelly, would be ‘supportive’ of his participation.
Andre, who famously met his former wife Katie Price on the ITV programme, also confirmed the hunger experienced by contestants was the ‘real deal’. He continued: “Well, there’s only probably about three – maybe 400 people in the world that have experienced this. It’s an incredible experience.
“There are certain smells and sounds that you only know if you’ve experienced it. Hunger is one of those things that I had never experienced before, and for anyone that hasn’t experienced it, you genuinely get it there. It’s the real deal.”
In light of this, Andre said he would advise new contestants against eating lots of food before entering the jungle. He went on: “The dreaded thing which I always tell them never to do, is to keep eating so much before you go in.
“Because you think well, ‘I’m not going to eat, so I may as well stock up’. But the problem is then your body goes into shock. So it’s actually better to get your body used to it.”
Osbourne will be joined in the Australian jungle by Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp, model Kelly Brook, former England Lionesses footballer Alex Scott and comedian Ruby Wax.
The line-up is completed by rapper Aitch, real name Harrison Armstrong, social media star Morgan Burtwistle, who is known as Angryginge, EastEnders’ Shona McCarty, comedian Eddie Kadi, and Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley.
Regular presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will return to host the show in its 25th anniversary year. Last year’s series was won by McFly singer Danny Jones.
