The singer even discussed the prospect of heading to Wales for the show after rumours of his appearance started swirling.

Russell and Louise's HELLO! Exclusive home shoot is out now

Louise added: "I think he'd be amazing at it. Russell's profession is very serious but doing I'm a Celebrity... would let him showcase his funny side."

Russell, who is dad to daughters Rebecca, 26, and Hannah, 20, from his first marriage, said of their bond: "They're still very protective over me, which is sweet. I was always this six-foot invincible figure in their mind, but when I got poorly the roles were almost switched… I'm so proud of them both."
