AJ Pritchard has admitted that he would be "screaming [his] head off" if confronted by spiders on I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!

The 25-year-old revealed last month that he has quit as a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing in order to pursue a new career as a TV presenter with his brother Curtis.

Shortly after his announcement it was rumoured that he was in talks with ITV about an appearance on this year's I'm A Celebrity - speculation that he refused to confirm or deny when asked about it on Channel 4's The Steph Show.

"Well, let me put it like this, I've just cleaned out the loft as my mum has a list of jobs for us to do," he said.

"The amount of spiders up there, I was screaming my head off. So, if anything like that did happen, it would be hilarious - that's for sure."

The new series of the ITV reality show is due to begin in November in Australia and as it stands is not expected to be delayed due to coronavirus.
