Author: Emma DoddsPublished 5th Dec 2018

Viewers of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! can pretty much all agree on the fact that footballing legend Harry Redknapp has won the hearts of the nation during his stint in the I'm A Celebrity jungle. The 71-year-old, whose hilarious anecdotes have been a major part of this year's series, has been hugely popular this series - and has been tipped to win the show.

However, fans of the show have begun to notice Harry's shortening temper over the past few days - and his refusal to eat the Australian foods after Bushtucker trials haven't gone unseen, especially by his campmates who have all tried to cajole him into trying the meals.

Whilst many passed it off as just another of Harry's quirks, it turns out that show bosses are now growing concerned for his health due to his dramatic weight loss in the jungle and shrinking diet.

According to MailOnline, a TV insider has said that because Harry is the oldest campmate, "there are now genuine worries over his health," adding that he's struggling to eat the food and is "physically exhausted."

They added, "He is too tired to do much more than sit around the camp. He is uncomfortable physically and is starting to miss home badly. Producers are worried he’s had enough and are closely monitoring his wellbeing."

But ITV bosses spoke to MailOnline, revealing that Harry was not receiving any special treatment as he didn't need it. They said, "We always monitor campmates' health. Harry hasn't had any extra medical checks and is on great form as viewers will have seen in last night's show."

This comes after presenter Holly Willoughby revealed that she doesn't think Harry will take the crown this year, adding that she thinks we will have a "jungle queen".

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.
