OUR COLUMNIST TALKS ABOUT THOSE ‘I’M A CELEBRITY…’ RUMOURS AND IS DISGUSTED BY THE TREATMENT OF RUGBY HERO GARETH THOMAS

OK! COLUMN

Scott travelled up to Manchester early last week to look after me after I had a general anaesthetic for a minor operation. I’m waiting on some results but I should be okay. The following day Scott drove us to the Lake District where we hired a cottage for a joint celebration for his mum’s 60th and his brother’s 30th birthdays [right]. It was quite a chilled one for me as I had to take it easy following my op. There was a bit of a party, which was as lowkey as it can be with a group of rowdy Scots! We also went out with friends on a boat on the lakes, which was stunning [bottom right].

I was back at work on Monday and it’s been super busy as I’m filming my exit scenes from Corrie. I’m looking forward to having a rest when I leave! One thing I won’t be doing is heading to the jungle for I’m A Celebrity – Get Me Out Of Here!. It was reported last week that I might be doing it and I can confirm I’m definitely not! I want to concentrate on my acting when I leave, so I won’t be doing any reality shows. One person I would like to see enter the jungle, though, is Piers Morgan. He said last week that for £5 million he’d ‘munch kangaroo testicles. Not a penny less’. He commented on it after Ant and Dec [below left] were trying to convince him to appear on the show. I’ve met Piers [below right] a few times and I’d certainly tune in if he was doing it! I think loads of people would delight in seeing him munch his way through a plate of turkey testicles and ostrich penises!
