Boxer’s wife: We vote for him to do worst Bushtucker Trials

EXCLUSIVE TONY Bellew’s wife has revealed that the couple’s sons have been voting for him to do the Bushtucker Trials, joking: “We love to watch him suffer.”

The former World Champ – who turned 41 in the jungle on Thursday – was this week seen shrieking as he was trapped in a box with snakes.

And Rachael says she and sons Corey, 18, Cobey, 15, Carter, 11, and Carson, three, have been glued to his antics.

She said: “We’ve never watched any shows he’s done but we’re watching this. And the trials… I love watching him suffer!

“The eldest two are voting – they voted for

TRIALS Rachael, and Tony with her and their four sons him to do the drinking trial. I was very surprised at how well he did in that. “He’s a very fussy eater and can’t take texture. It drives me insane. At least he now can’t say anything about me eating coleslaw, because he’s drunk a blended bull’s penis.” Rachael admits the family have all been surprised at how well Tony – who reverted to his preferred name Anthony after retiring – has coped with the trials, even if he will be in for “a ribbing” when he gets home.

She said: “Ant plays the macho man, but he’s a big softie. I bet he’s more scared than he looks in the trials. In the snake trial, you could tell he was petrified and I’m sure he’ll get a bit of ribbing for that when he gets out. But he’s not a quitter. Joking aside, we’re all really proud of him.” Tony showed his softer side on Thursday when he explained to campmates that the date tattooed on his chest marks his first kiss with Rachael.

But his wife says: “I swear that date’s wrong. He insists not, so I play along – but it’s a good job I wasn’t hiding in the bush. I’d have corrected him!

“It’s a long time ago now, and we’ve had our ups and downs – before kids… with kids – but we’ve stuck it out and it’s worked out for us.

“I texted him before he went in to say I was proud of him for doing the show, and joking that I’d be there on the rope bridge in something glam.

“If he did win I’d be buzzing, but there’s no way I’d let it go to his head. I’d have that crown right off him.

“I’d tell him I was really proud of him – then ask him to ring the man we

need to fix our front door.”
