Frank Lampard is “surprised” at how well his uncle Harry Redknapp has embraced camp life on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.
The Derby County manager – who is the nephew of the 71-year-old football manager – is proud of his relative’s ability to take on all the tough tasks and is backing him to win.
The former Chelsea player told the Derby Telegraph newspaper: “His character hasn’t surprised me, because I know his personality full well – I’ve grown up with it.
“What has surprised me is how well he has taken on the tasks.”
Frank added: “One day one, he didn’t want to eat emu – then all of a sudden, I’m watching him down all sorts of things! I’m sure it’s not easy but he’s making a great go of it and I hope he wins it.”
Harry also impressed when he managed to down a glass full of blended pig penis during the live X Factor Bushtucker challenge!
