An I'm A Celebrity veteran has opened up about his difficulties in the jungle
**Phil Tufnell reveals what annoyed him most during I'm a Celebrity All Stars return - 'Awful'**
Former England cricketer Phil Tufnell, a seasoned veteran of the jungle, has revealed the one thing that truly grated on him during his return to the "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! All Stars" series. While the trials and tribulations of jungle life are well-documented, it wasn't the creepy crawlies or lack of luxury that bothered him most, but something far more… well, awful.
Tufnell, known for his laid-back attitude and witty commentary, admitted that the constant dampness of the South African jungle was the real source of his discomfort. Speaking after his time on the show, he described the unrelenting moisture as "awful" and a persistent irritant.
"You can deal with the bugs, you can deal with the hunger, to some extent," Tufnell explained. "But that constant, clinging dampness… it gets everywhere. It’s in your clothes, in your sleeping bag, in your hair. It just never goes away."
He elaborated on how the lack of sunshine and the frequent rainfall meant that nothing ever truly dried out. This led to a feeling of perpetual discomfort, which he found increasingly difficult to ignore as the days wore on. "It's a mental thing, really," he said. "You start feeling sluggish and a bit miserable because you're just constantly damp."
While other celebrities have often complained about the lack of food or the challenges of the trials, Tufnell's focus on the environmental conditions highlights the less glamorous, but equally impactful, aspects of jungle life. It's a reminder that even for seasoned veterans like Tufnell, the environment itself can be one of the toughest challenges to overcome. His revelation offers a fresh perspective on the realities of enduring weeks in the jungle, beyond the manufactured drama and Bushtucker Trials. It's a testament to the fact that sometimes, the simplest discomforts can be the most difficult to bear.
