Richard Madeley is one of the latest stars to be heading to I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! but former camp star Vernon Kay predicts it won't be plain sailing for the TV veteran.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain Vernon shared his views on the forthcoming ITV series which kicks off on Sunday night and admits he thinks Richard Madeley's love of talking could be hard for his fellow contestants to handle.
Sharing his take on the broadcaster joining the show, Vernon explained: "I can't wait to see Richard, I'll be honest with you, I think he's going to talk everyone to death. I think he may frustrate a few people but he's extremely intelligent and he's a great listener.
"And that's what you need in there because you get really tired and you open up and get really emotional because you miss your friends and family."
But Ben Shephard, who was hosting the show, said he was excited to see Richard in action as a "great interviewer" adding: "I often think when I watch, you know, they've had some amazing characters like Caitlyn Jenner who you just want to sit down and interview them, it would be such a joy."
To which Vernon replied: "Mo Farah got so bored with us asking about the Olympics but that's what made him blossom and shine and he just loves talking about those gold medals."
And as this year's contestants are hauled up in a quarantine bubble ahead of the show's launch, Richard admitted he's also fearful of being ''cut off'' from the outside world.
In a pre-recorded video he told fans: "By the time you see this video they will have taken away all our comms, they will have taken away our laptops and our phones, disconnected the television, taken away radios and all the rest of it, no newspapers.
"So we will be completely disconnected from the outside world as you are seeing this.
"That means you will now know who is coming into the castle, who I'll be joining, and you'll probably be able to guess who possibly I might get on best with, who I'll really bond with and who I might have some issues with."
But rather than be fearful of what the public think of him, the 65-year-old urged fans to ''be brutally honest'' and share their views.
He added: "I'll look at your messages when I come out so be brutally honest - who do you think I'm going to really like and who do you think I might struggle with."
"Go on, be honest."
The new series kicks off on November 21 on ITV at 9pm.
