Ex football star Jamie Redknapp seems to be more worried about his dad’s time on I’m A Celebrity than Harry himself.
Asked about how his footy manager father would cope living in the Aussie jungle, Jamie told The Sun he reckons 71-year-old Harry will have no problems with creepy crawlies in the campsite.
But the former Liverpool player, 45, also joked his biggest fear was having to see his dad lather up in the jungle shower which has always been one of the most eye-popping features of the show.
“Dad hasn’t really got any phobias, to be honest,” Jamie told the newspaper.

“As a kid he was never worried about spiders. I’m worried about him with the shower scene in his pants!”
Jamie, whose marriage to singer and Strictly star Louise ended last year, also said he hoped Harry would be able to bond with a pal while in Oz to help stave off boredom.
He said: “I hope he finds a mate in there because from people I’ve spoken to the hardest things are lack of food, but he doesn’t eat a lot my dad so that’s gonna help him, and secondly it’s the boredom factor, there’s no racing channel for him to watch.”
As he flew down under for the reality series, Harry did admit that watching sport – along with his wife Sandra – would be what he misses most while he is on the show.

“We do everything together. I have been with Sandra for 54 years and I hate being away from her,” he said.
And on the basic food regime, Harry added: “I have got bad eating habits. I can go all day without eating until the evening. Eating won’t be a problem for me.”
Just remember you can always cover your modesty with a flannel if needs be, Harry. Nobody expects you to try and be the new Myleene of the series.
The 18th series of I’m A Celebrity, hosted by Dec Donnelly and Holly Willoughby, begins this Sunday at 9pm.
Doctor Who star John Barrowman, The Chase’s Anne Hegerty, DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles and X Factor singer Fleur East have all been confirmed for the ITV reality show down under alongside Harry.
They will also be joined in the camp by Corrie star Sair Khan, pop rocker James McVey, Hollyoaks actor Malique Thompson-Dwyer, ex EastEnders actress Rita Simons, The Inbetweeners’ Emily Atack and ‘late entry’ Noel Edmonds.
