Mystery as I'm A Celeb's Ian Wright refuses to do ITV daytime after leaving jungle

Ian Wright became the latest star to leave I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here last night, but he seems to be keeping a low profile.

The football pundit, 56, is refusing to give interviews and won't be making the usual appearances on ITV daytime shows like Good Morning Britain, Lorraine and This Morning.

A source told Mirror Online that Ian is the first campmate out this year to not do any of the shows, TV leaving bosses "gutted".

He only made an appearance on spin-off show Extra Camp, which is the bare minimum he is signed up to do.

Ian has missed the shows so he can spend as much time as possible with his wife Nancy Hallam and their two children, who he missed terribly while he was in the jungle.

Mirror Online has contacted ITV for comment.

Ian became the fifth campmate to leave I'm A Celebrity.

He seemed to be glad to be out and hugged hosts Ant and Dec when he left the camp.

"Wheres my missus?" he asked as the hosts told him that she was across the bridge.

Sitting down, he couldn't stop grinning: "It's been unbelievable, I swear to god. I needed the challenge for myself. I'm so happy."

But he admitted that he was glad to be out.

Ian said: "I feel it is time and I got to the time, it is becoming more and more difficult to be positive and there are people around you that need to be positive. Towards the end, especially young people, I wasnt positive enough. My time has come and it has been unbelievable.

"I needed a new challenge for myself and the challenge I got I wasnt expecting. It was more a mental thing, I found the mental side of me, I have a lot to work on, I learned a lot about myself."
