Jungle Nick

.. as you’ve never seen him

- BY MARK JEFFERIES

NICK Knowles sends out a fashion SOS in these shots from the 90s.

The DIY SOS star, 56, was in spoof group Carrick Fear for ITV documentar­y The Tuesday Special.

And he followed up this foray into music by releasing an album last year, called Every Kind Of People.

Before he went into I’m A Celebrity, Nick said he did not mind the comparison­s with David Brent when the record only made it to number 92.

He said: “If you stopped having a go at things because people who’ve never done anything have a go at you, there’s, you know, no point. There’s a kind of snobbery around music.”

But he seems to have had the last laugh – with his cover of Adele‘s Make You Feel My Love now at number one on the iTunes chart.

Meanwhile, Nick has been putting his DIY skills to use in the camp.

He said: “We managed to create a screen, weaved some palm for Harry to keep the smoke away from him.

“We built a tripod to dry our clothes and a washing line so we have already built a few things. But I would probably build a Jacuzzi so we could sit around and warm ourselves of an evening.”
