Christopher Biggins wouldn\'t want to appear on this year\'s \'I\'m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!\'.

The 71-year-old actor starred on the ITV show back in 2007, but after the series was relocated to the UK from Australia amid the coronavirus pandemic, Christopher insisted he wouldn\'t be volunteering for another stint on the show.

He told \'Good Morning Britain\': "I can see it now, icicles off the end of noses ... I think it would be terrifying.

"I certainly wouldn\'t want to be in it this year but I think it\'s going to be great fun to watch."

Although Christopher wouldn\'t want to appear on the upcoming series, he\'s looking forward to watching the show from home.

He said: "The only thing I think is very positive about it is that Ant and Dec will be back on TV for three weeks making us laugh and they will get a lot of laughs."

ITV recently announced plans to stage \'I\'m a Celebrity\' in the UK, due to ongoing problems linked to the pandemic.

Kevin Lygo, the broadcaster\'s director of television, said: "We announced last week that we were doing all we could to make the series, and I\'m thrilled that we can bring the show to viewers, albeit not in the jungle.

"We have a great team both on and off screen, and I know they will produce a hugely entertaining series."

ITV Studios\' director of entertainment Richard Cowles added: "We pulled out all the stops to try and make the series happen in Australia.

"Unfortunately, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and despite us looking at many different contingencies, it became apparent that it just wasn\'t possible for us to travel and make the show there.

"However, we are all really excited about a UK version of \'I\'m a Celebrity\'. While it will certainly be different producing the show from the UK, the same tone and feel will remain."
