Stuart Manning - I’m A Celebrity 2009
Sunday, 15th November 2009
Hollyoaks hunk Stuart Manning admits he is such a neat freak he will be doing everything he can to keep his little corner of the rainforest spick and span.
He says: “I love tidy. Tidy is good, messy is bad. In my flat in London I have all my clothes – shirts, suits, jackets, jumpers – everything in order, and I Hoover once a week.”
If he finds himself in with a messy bunch of celebrities he won’t mind, though. “I’ll have my own little space where I’m sitting and chilling out and if that’s tidy I’m happy.”
Stuart says he won’t miss being cut off from the rest of the world and has already had a taste of isolation, camping with his Australian relatives in a remote part of Queensland.

He says: “Anything with a bit of adventure, I’m game. We go to a place called Stradbroke Island, which is just miles and miles of beaches and you drive along and park up in the bush and make a camp and stay there for a week, catching fish and living off the land, which I love.
“We had ants that made a beeline through our tent – in one side, out the other – crawling between myself and my cousin, so that wasn’t great, and you’re thinking they’re big ants …
“Not having your mobile phone, not having the internet, not being able to speak to everyone all the time was really nice, like going back to nature. The only horrible thing we had to do was empty the dunny, dig a big hole for everyone’s waste, which is not the most pleasant thing in the world.”
Nervous
Stuart admits he has experienced the odd mild attack of nerves at the prospect of living in the infamous jungle camp with a group of strangers.
“Obviously there are some nerves. I’ve never been in a jungle with a load of people I don’t know before so it should be interesting to say the least.
I’ve never been in the rainforest but I’m looking forward to the experience, really looking forward to meeting who I’ll be with and just going with it. It’s something different and I’m never going to be asked to do it again.”
Stuart hopes his straightforward attitude will help him fit in with his fellow campers.
“I’m pretty happy, cheerful, easy-going, and I like to have fun. Once you’re a friend I make sure you’re very looked after. I’m normally good in a crisis, I keep level headed. Nothing really fazes me too much.”
Let’s see how much he’s fazed when he has to eat a cockroach!
