My two youngest are only eight and three and a halfDream Campmate: Shane Richie, Rick Astley and Bobby Davro would be such a laugh

“I am not going to burst into song every two seconds,” says Tony. “I am going to be there to help. Some people might need more help than others and they might not be able to cope. I’ve watched the show in the past and some do get emotional. Hopefully I can give them a lift up.”
“The biggest challenge is not going to be eating camel testicles or whatever we have to eat but having no mobile, no books or music.” We’ll remind you of that quote when you’re choking down a nice mouthful of camel testicle, Tony!
