Phillip Schofield would never sign up for I’m A Celebrity to avoid metal bowls

Phillip Schofield has revealed the rather bizarre reason why he would never take part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The full line-up for this year's series was announced on Monday and features the likes of Richard Madeley, Frankie Bridge and David Ginola.

Discussing the celebs who have signed up for the challenge in Wales, 59-year-old Phillip told This Morning co-host Josie Gibson that I'm A Celeb is the only reality show he would do.

Speaking about the series, Josie said: "You've got rid of all your home comforts, I don't think I could do it, could you Phil?"

"Well, I've always said I'm A Celeb is the only one I would do," he replied as Josie remarked: "Really?"

"But I wouldn't do it... I don't think. But I couldn't do it because they eat out of those metal cans with metal spoons, and I've got goosebumps even thinking about it," Phillip continued.

"But scraping the spoon on the tin can, I couldn't do it, I'd starve to death!"

Laughing at his comment, Josie then said: "There's bugs, there's snakes, there's rats, and Phil is worried about a spoon on a metal spoon!"

"Yep that's the biggest challenge of all, everything else I'm fine with!" Phillip remarked.

I'm A Celebrity returns to ITV on Sunday 21 November, and no doubt hosts Ant and Dec have plenty of gruesome Bushtucker Trials lined up for the group of famopus faces.

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
