Speaking on the latest episode of the pod he says of his parents: 'One thing they always said to me was 'Don't ever do the jungle, I'm A Celebrity', I always remember this and last week I got a call from ITV 'Could we tempt you to do the jungle?'

Piers told The Sun at its Who Cares Wins awards: "I would rather shoot myself slowly with a slow moving bullet that corroded through every bone in my body before it finished me off than go into the jungle with people like Matt Hancock. "My parents have actually said to me they would put up with anything - and I've put them through a lot - but not the jungle. "It's a step too far. That's their red line. I'd get disowned." Piers fuelled rumours he'd finally been persuaded to sign up to the gruelling reality show on X (formerly known as Twitter). He tweeted: "Like I said, £5million and I'll come and munch kangaroo testicles. Not a penny less." 5 Back in 2022 Piers Morgan asked for £5million to do famous TV show I'm A Celeb Credit: Dan Charity 5 Piers Morgan appeared on Celebrity Apprentice in 2008 which is fronted by Donald Trump

Daisy May Cooper makes shock exit from ITV series before second series
ITV has revealed that Daisy May Cooper will not be returning for the second series of one of their most popular game shows. Hosted by Stephen Mangan, Password sees team captains Daisy and Alan Carr team up with a civilian contestant to win a £10,000 prize. Each captain is given a secret word in the show – the password – which their teammate then has to guess based on a one-word clue. However, according to reports, neither Daisy or Alan will be returning to the gameshow, which comes from the makers of Britain's Got Talent and QI. A source told The Sun: 'Password did brilliantly on its first outing and it's always a shame to make changes, but Alan and Daisy are both incredibly busy and diaries just wouldn't align. 'Something had to give and sadly it was their roles as team captains. 'But there's an exciting line-up of celebs ready to take part instead, and everyone's confident that the format works without them.' This comes after Daisy, along with her This Country co-star and brother Charlie, revealed they would not be featuring in the upcoming Celebrity Traitors. The duo pulled out of the show just weeks before filming, according to the Mirror. It is believed that both actors decided they did not want to be away from their young families. In July last year, it was also revealed that Daisy would not be returning for the next series of Never Mind The Buzzcocks. The 37-year-old This Country star joined as team captain opposite Noel Fielding when Sky brought back the iconic 1990s music quiz in 2021, but she was replaced for the revival's upcoming fourth run. Following its debut on television in September last year, Password was met with mixed reviews from the public. Taking to X during the show to vent their frustrations, viewers pointed out a major flaw in the show's format. Unfortunately for eager participants at home, they were prevented from playing along when the password was announced by a voiceover as the round began. Writing on X, user originalfran blasted: 'Why ask if we can guess the #Password when some guy announces it at the beginning of each round, then you show it on screen??? What's the point in this show if we can't play along at home?' More Trending Queenie_2312 agreed: 'When we filmed the #Password pilot, the password was only shown to the audience and not said out loud, they should of kept that format as you can't play along as an audience member at home when the password is being said out loud'. The reactions weren't all bad, though, as a handful of viewers did warm to the concept. ThisIsMeUK1 said during the launch: 'Been looking forward to this sooooo much!!!' Metro has contacted Daisy and Alan's representatives and ITV for comment. View More » Password is available to watch on ITV and ITVX. Got a story?

Strictly Come Dancing bosses 'in talks' with Celebs Go Dating relationship expert
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Strictly Come Dancing chiefs are reportedly eyeing up relationship guru Paul C Brunson for a spin on the upcoming series of the hit BBC dance contest. Despite the fact that the new season won't kick off until later in the year, there's already chatter about which celebs may be stepping onto the dance floor. Rumours suggest that relationship expert and television personality Paul could sashay his way into the line-up. Familiar to UK audiences from Celebs Go Dating (CGD) and Married At First Sight UK (MAFS UK), Paul has also partnered with Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden on Netflix's reality series, Cheat: Unfinished Business. A source tipped The Sun off as to why the Strictly honchos are keen to enlist Paul, saying: "Paul would be the ideal tonic to the dark clouds over Strictly as he's clean-cut, very intelligent and has no scandals to worry about." Further details indicate that "they are now in discussion but he's met with producers a number of times," reports the Mirror, which has approached the BBC for comment. (Image: Matt Monfredi / Channel 4) It emerged earlier this week that the showrunners are courting Sir Mo Farah. He's described as a "genuine national treasure" whose presence could counter the recent negativity around Strictly. The producers see him as an asset saying his personality could banish the show's recent negative atmosphere. Recently, Strictly has had to navigate through some turbulent waters. Post the 2023 series, Amanda Abbington levelled serious claims against professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, accusing him of bullying. Amanda raised eyebrows with accusations of bullying, which saw Giovanni stepping back from the limelight amidst the uproar. In contrast, Giovanni celebrated a victory on the Italian version of Strictly before returning to the UK for more dance endeavours. (Image: NurPhoto, NurPhoto via Getty Images) At a similar time, Graziano Di Prima found himself dropped from Strictly. That summer, there was chatter about Graziano having possibly kicked and hit 27 year old Zara, allegations he vehemently rejects. He conceded that his "intense passion and determination to win might have affected my training regime." More recently, Wynne Evans found himself cut from the Strictly live tour due to his actions. Wynne discussed a tumultuous period during his stint on Strictly in an appearance on This Morning, expressing how the negative publicity had deeply impacted his mental wellbeing. "I was at my lowest ebb, I wanted to end my life. I would have if I hadn't been surrounded by people," he confided to the presenters of the programme. Strictly Come Dancing is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
