Ian Wright is set to take on the next Bush Tucker Trial on \'I\'m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!\'.
The retied soccer star was offered words of encouragement from the other celebrities after the show\'s hosts, Ant and Dec, delivered the verdict to the camp - but Ian was quick to downplay their sympathies.
Ian, 56 - who has taken a temporary break from appearing on \'Match of the Day\' to be in the Australian jungle - told them: "Don\'t ... I don\'t want to ... don\'t pamper me ..."
Ian\'s time in the jungle has included some heated rows with fellow campmate Andrew Maxwell, which subsequently led to accusations of bullying.
And the former England international subsequently admitted he\'s too easily rattled.
During a conversation with James Haskell, Ian shared: "It\'s been interesting what this experience has done to me.
"It\'s sped up the process of me realising I get too wrapped up in feeling wronged."
Ian also conceded he still needs to "work" on controlling his own temper.
He said: "Everybody said just be yourself when I told them I was coming in here. But what I found out about being myself is that I still need to do a lot of work. There\'s still some things I need to shed.
"It\'s not been easy, sadness and outburst over certain things I\'ve had to be reined in. It\'s been an unbelievable journey and I wanted a challenge when I came in here and I got it, let me tell you, I got it and then some."
