Chris Moyles ‘denied iPad’ from I’m A Celebrity bosses to help him through isolation

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! bosses refused Chris Moyles’s request for an iPad to help him through isolation, according to pal Andi Peters.

The Radio X presenter is among the famous faces on the line-up for this year’s show, alongside the likes of Loose Women’s Charlene White, royal Mike Tindall, and Love Island’s Olivia Atwood.

Good Morning Britain’s Peters claims that his mate Moyles is currently in quarantine before heading into the jungle

‘We’re very, very good friends,’ Peters shared on Tuesday’s programme. ‘I’m so excited to watch him. At the moment, they are all in isolation. ITV has put them in isolation on top of the rules in Australia to make sure they are Covid safe.

‘I think this is the part he’s going to struggle with, just being by himself for 10 days. He asked for an iPad, they said no.’

Peters went on to describe his friend as ‘determined’ and ‘dedicated’.

‘ He so wants to change the perception of him being an alpha male,’ he added. ‘He’s genuinely the sweetest man and I think that’s going to come across.’

Ahead of making his debut in camp, Moyles has revealed everything he is scared of… which should be very helpful for when we need to vote for which celebrities we want doing the trials.

‘Some people say if something scares you, then do it, but I am a firm believer you shouldn’t scare yourself!’ he said.

‘I am a big fan of my own comfort zone, too. I am petrified of heights and getting into camp will be a massive challenge for me.

‘Even that rickety rope bridge makes my heart start going. I have never jumped out of a plane or walked out on a plank on a high rise building before and I know I have got to suck it all up.

‘In the past, I always said no to offers to take part. But this year, I didn’t say no immediately, and I ended up going to a meeting.’

He continued: ‘Now I don’t know why I said yes, but I am a huge fan of the show and I know what I am letting myself in for! My friends who have done it before told me I will have a great time.’

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! returns on Sunday at 9pm on ITV.
