Who is Naughty Boy? I'm A Celebrity 2021 star and music producer

He's worked with Sam Smith and Beyonce, but Naughty Boy is ready to brave the haunted I'm A Celebrity castle for his next challenge.

The hit record producer - whose real name is Shahid Khan - has said that he's looking forward to taking part and reckons that more musicians should do the show.

He said: “I would love to see more musicians go into theCastle this series, Sir Elton John would be incredible if he were to go in!

"We (musicians) are more equipped than people think as we spend such a lot of time in the studio.

“I am excited about going on I’m A Celebrity now. I want people to know the real me. I am not a celebrity at all. My music is the celebrity and now is the chance for me to show people what I am really like.”

Naughty Boy will appear on this year's I'm A Celebrity (ITV)

Why did he decide to take part?

“I am most looking forward to learning about myself.

“I don’t know what people in the music industry will think about me being in the Castle but having a break from everything is something I think everyone should have and do once a year.

"I love my friends and family, but I think it is good to have a break and time out.”

Who will he miss the most while he's in the castle?

“Dementia UK needs constant funding, and I am going to miss Mum the most whilst I am away in the Castle.

"I live with Mum, and I am used to seeing her all the time. Mum hasn’t been very well, and it is going to be difficult for me being away. But that said, I think the break will be good for both of us.”

Any phobias?

“I am scared of heights, nothing in the Castle is likeable though! But I am looking forward to taking part in the Trials only because if we get the stars, it is good for everyone. I am looking forward to doing something heroic for everyone in the camp.”

Odds of winning

16/1

*I'm A Celebrity returns on Sunday at 9pm on ITV
