John Barrowman has placed third on ‘I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here’.
The 51-year-old actor narrowly missed out on a spot in the final two, after receiving the least amount of public votes during Sunday night’s (09.12.18) show.
Speaking about his jungle experience, he said: "It’s a bit of relief and it’s a bit of excitement. I can’t believe so many people voted for me. It’s just so amazing …
"It’s surreal, it’s amazing. It’s probably one of the best things I’ve done. I can count it in the top five of things I’ve done in my career. It was harder than I ever thought. The first four days for me were really difficult. I tried to submerge myself in doing things and then I hit a wall at four days and I had to sit for a day or two to readjust and just get my thoughts to make sure I was on the right track to get through the rest. I did it. If anybody does it in the future, it’s the best experience but it’s the toughest experience you’ll ever go through."
And the ‘Torchwood’ star admits he was nervous to start with but channelled that energy and turned it into a strength.
He added: "At the very start, I was scared, I was nervous and I always said you use your fear and nerves to follow your strength. On the yacht [at the beginning of the series], I had no idea what was going to happen. But I realised, this is it. I’m in the thick of it."
Harry Redknapp and Emily Atack will now battle it out to be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle.
