EXCLUSIVE: Gary Barlow reveals why he would NEVER do I'm A Celeb
We don't blame him!
He's one of the world's most famous musicians, with solo hits and of course Take That, so it's no real surprise the lovely Gary Barlow isn't thinking about signing up for I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here any time soon.
Despite this, with Gary having a massive fan base, there's no denying the fact they'd love to see him on the show every night, so when the 'Incredible' singer joined Kat Shoob on Magic Radio today, we just had to ask the question.
With Magic Radio presenter Ruthie Henshall currently appearing on I'm A Celeb, Kat quizzed Gary on if he’d ever appear, to which he responded, “No, I’d never go on the show, ever. Never ever ever ever. Do you know what, I think the people who do it they’re so brave, honest, I’m scared of flies, I mean I’d be absolutely rubbish, rubbish in there!
"And also, I can be moody and it wouldn’t be good to watch, honestly I promise you now.”
Despite the I'm A Celeb castle getting a big no from Gary, the 49-year-old is appearing on his very own ITV show, Night At The Museum.
The one-off musical special filmed at London's Natural History Museum will feature a whole host of guests, including Michael Bublé, Jack Whitehall, Jason Donovan, Alesha Dixon, Alfie Boe, Beverley Knight and Sebastian Yatra.
Magic Breakfast's very own Ronan Keating is also rumoured to be joining Gary for a special performance so Kat was quick to probe him.
Gary said, “I have a load of friends who are joining me on this wonderful show, I went to ITV with the idea of doing something before Christmas and we all decided, let’s give people an old-fashioned night in. They can sit on the sofa, we can give them songs they know, a bit of good feeling on the run up to Christmas. So that’s what it’s going to be, it’s an hour of old school fun with a load of mates, a beautiful orchestra with us in this beautiful venue.”

There are even dancers!
And of course, with Christmas just around the corner, we couldn't let the Take That frontman leave without asking about his plans and traditions.
Speaking to Kat, Gary added, “It’s very important I always think to leave Santa a drink, whiskey is a great way of cheering Santa up on Christmas Eve, he needs a rest as well as doing all his work. So that’s big, we always put the carrot out and all that stuff, that’s fun, we’ve got an 11-year-old still so that all goes on, the footprints and all that business.”
We are delighted to have Gary Barlow taking part in this year's virtual Magic of Christmas on Sunday 29th November.
Due to the pandemic, this year's event will be coming to you live from the Magic Radio Facebook page on Sunday 29th November at 6pm, featuring Gary Barlow, Sam Smith, Jess Glynne, Leona Lewis, Roachford, Jamie Cullum and The Shires.
