I'm A Celebrity - Timmy Mallett

Thursday, 20th November 2008.


Timmy Mallett is a legend amongst people in their twenties and thirties, having dominated Saturday morning TV screens in the 80s.

The madcap presenter, who hosted The wide Awake Club and Wacaday, joins the campers on day 4 along with Dollar star David Van Day.

And Mallett reckons his biggest jungle fear will be missing chocolate biscuits.

“I’m a man who likes his chocolate biscuits and when I get hungry I get hungry NOW," he says.

“I’m extremely crabby when I’m hungry,” he adds.

But the energetic 53 year-old does have a passion that will come in handy – fires.

"I like bonfires,” he says. "The fire brigade came to mine last month because I set light to one of the trees by accident.

"So trust me with the bonfire, I’ll be fine with that!”

Making friends

Timmy also says he hopes to get on well with everyone.

“There’ll be occasions when I get stroppy. But I think the public likes to see us out of the comfort zones and going, ‘Oo-er’,” he says.

“I think there will be quite a few oo-er moments. I can be rather abrupt and I don’t suffer fools.”

Tellyzone will suffer you Timmy, you're a telly God!
