THEY SAID WHAT?

-

“They’ve pulled me up hills, they’ve dragged me through the water” - Harry Redknapp pays tribute to his fellow campers as he is crowned King of the Jungle in I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

“Everything about it is completely bonkers, the jungle itself is beautiful, the studio is beautiful, but apart from that everything else is mad, everything wants to bite you but I’ve loved it, I’ve really really loved it” - TV’s Holly Willoughby on hosting I’m A Celebrity.

“It’s not really my job to invoke England, 1912. But there were times during the series where I was required to be ‘English’ musically” - Glaswegian John Lunn, composer of the Downton Abbey background music.

“I actually don’t know how much I have. I couldn’t even really guess. It doesn’t really motivate me too much. It makes you comfortabl­e, that’s the good thing about it, I think. I’m glad it’s there but I’m not really that focused on it” - Harry Potter star Rupert Grint, who is reported to be worth £28 million.

“I did the take probably 450 times and I cried every single time. I defy anyone not to cry” - Actor Nicholas Hoult, who does a voice-over in a new adaptation of the best-selling novel Watership Down, about a colony of rabbits.

“Whenever I am filming around the country I try to make time to go into a school and give out copies of my books. So I’d want to improve access to reading and safeguard libraries” -Entertaine­r and best-selling author David Walliams, who would like to pass a law to improve children’s literacy.

“You can’t get the toothpaste back in the tube, you can never go back. We just have to cope with the chaos of modern living - too much informatio­n, too many mad people in charge. It’s a spooky world” - Downton Abbey star Jim Carter saying that the series is a haven in the chaotic world of today.

“The Brexiteers, they call us traitors. I refute that charge. We are the British patriots, we are the ones fighting for Britain’s national self-interest. It is the Brexiteers who seek to belittle us, to undermine our influence, to slam windows, close doors with unrealisti­c claims of freedom and the delusions of sovereignt­y” - Tory Lord Heseltine, a leading Remainer. - Sir Elton John on his hopes for 2019.
