'The jungle will be less stressful than my divorce!' Dragon's Den star Duncan Bannatyne says he's ready to face his fears on I'm A Celebrity

His divorce proceedings from second wife Joanne cost him £345million and almost three years of his life.

And the experience has left Duncan Bannatyne feeling ready for anything as he prepares for the launch of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! this Sunday because he believes nothing can be as bad as his martial split.

The 66-year-old Dragon's Den star is excited about facing his fears in the terrifying Bushtucker trials as he joins the likes of Hollyoaks actress Jorgie Porter and Union J singer George Shelley in the Australian outback.

He told the Daily Mirror: 'I’d say stress in the jungle will be about four out of 10. A divorce is 12. I couldn’t go through worse than that, so I’m really going to enjoy it.'

Duncan, who has four daughters with his first wife Gail and two children from his marriage to Joanne, might be one of the oldest contestants taking part this year, but he believes he'll definitely be one of the fittest.

The business mogul has climbed Kilimanjaro in the past and is a fan of extreme sports like skydiving, so nothing scares him.

The entrepreneur, whose businessmen include hotels, bars, health clubs and spas, isn't looking forward to being apart from his girlfriend Nigora Whitehorn, 35, however.

The brunette beauty has given him strict rules for the show, but he insists she doesn't have to worry about his loyalty because he's a one-woman kind of man.

'I’m not allowed to flirt or show my bum in there,' Duncan joked. 'So I can’t look at girls in the shower but I’ve no desire to.'

Hosted as ever by telly favourites Ant and Dec, ten brave stars will compete in the infamous Bushtucker trials and go head to head to be crowned King or Queen of the jungle.

The stars revealed to be taking part in this year's series are: Chris Eubank, Yvette Fielding, George Shelley, Jorgie Porter, Kieron Dyer, Brian Friedman, Tony Hadley, Lady Colin Campbell, Susannah Constantine and Duncan.

The campmates were divided into two teams on Saturday, with What Not To Wear star Susannah heading up one camp, while Spandau Ballet's Tony took charge of the other.

Meanwhile, it's been widely rumoured that former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison, Made In Chelsea's notorious lothario Spencer Matthews and TOWIE loudmouth Ferne McCann are all being lined up to enter the jungle as late arrivals.

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here will air Sunday at 9pm on ITV.
