Duncan Bannatyne
Occupation: Business entrepreneurAge: 66Phobias: None. In my own head, I think I can do all the challenges – which is probably wrong!Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle: None, as I won’t let people see my real personality. I am joking…Role in the camp: Master of all trades: Cooking, cleaning, washing-up. You name it, I will do it.Miss most: Comfy bed and my girlfriendDream Campmate: Peter Jones or Theo Paphitis
As a star of Dragons’ Den, Duncan is used to saying “I’m out”, so at least he’s got two of the eight words necessary to yell when a Bushtucker Trial gets too much! Not that he’ll need to – Duncan’s pretty sure he’ll nail most challenges: “I think I can do all these trials. No problem at all!” We’ll see, Dunc, we’ll see…
He may seem fairly positive about his jungle experience, but Duncan also has an idea of what’s going to rile him up: “Boredom, the hunger and the other Celebrities! I will be pretty good unless someone gets on my nerves and starts complaining or moaning all the time. If they don’t pull their weight, then I will get annoyed.”
Duncan may have swapped the Den for the Jungle, but it seems there’s plenty of fire left in this dragon…
