And on jungle life, Brian is only interested in one thing, having fun!
"I get asked to do very serious programmes," he says.
"I’m thinking once I’ve done this I probably won’t get asked to do any of those things any more and that’ll be great."
Brian wants the public to see the softer side to him: "I’m not just a serious politician and a serious former police officer," he says.
Brian will bring culinary skills to camp life and won't be afraid to show his emotions if there's upset.
"When people get upset I tend to join in,” says Brian.
"I don’t know what it is about me, whether I was dropped on my head as a baby or something, but I’ve got this thing about caring for other people."
