WARNOCK: I’LL DO I’M A CELEB ...BUT I WANT MORE MONEY!

- By DAVID KENT

NEIL WARNOCK says he could follow Harry Redknapp into the Australian jungle on I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! The Cardiff manager revealed he had been watching fellow football boss Redknapp on the hit ITV show. But Warnock feels he would have to be paid ‘10 times more’ than other contestant­s because his unpopulari­ty with fans means he would end up doing all the trials. ‘I imagine I’ll be in there next year,’ said Warnock, who turned 70 last week and is almost two years younger than Redknapp. ‘The lads have put my face on Harry’s body on the dressing room window! ‘I don’t think I’d be scared but the problem is I’d be doing every horrible thing there could be because I’d get the votes. ‘It would be payback time. So they would have to pay me 10 times more than they pay everybody else.’ Redknapp’s down-to-earth personalit­y and cheeky humour have made him a hit in the jungle. The former Tottenham and West Ham manager was odds-on to be crowned the programme’s ‘King of the Jungle’ in its final show of the series tomorrow night. ‘That’s Harry — that’s how we are,’ Warnock said. ‘Football humour in the jungle is a blessing — it’s something that lifts everybody. ‘We’ve all got stories, haven’t we? I rabbit on here every week at a press conference. ‘They’ve got a good group and I’ll watch it a bit more now. The ones I didn’t like — the ones which I could scream at — have gone now.’
