Top boxer Tony Bellew has said he reckons Barry McGuigan has "have a fair few things he wants to get off his chest" if he signed up for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.
The 63-year-old, who is best known for winning the world featherweight title against Eusebio Pedroza in 1985, said: "It can be physically arduous, but it's the psychological part of it that I want to conquer before I get too old. McGuigan will be joined in the jungle by the likes of BBC Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough, N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos, Coleen Rooney and McFly star Danny Jones among others.
"It might be very funny, me going, 'oh no, go on, you do it', there might be all of that. But at the end of the day I'm not going to refuse."
