Jimmy Bullard

There won't be any boring times as I will make sure there aren't!

• Relationship status: Engaged

• Phobias: Snakes, spiders (uh oh)

• Dream camper: Mickey Rourke

Prankster alert! Retired footballer Jimmy is just as well known for his slapstick humour as he is for his fancy footwork. From running up a £5000 bill on his manager's hotel room, to taking Ralgexing (a dressing room prank involving the application of muscle-rub cream) to an eye-watering new level.

Mischievous Jimmy says, “People call me the joker but that is just how I am. I like to play up in front of people. I am not going to sit there and mope around."

As for similarities between the beautiful game and Bushtucker Trials, “I didn’t find my football hard at all,” he says. “It was a boyhood dream and the jungle is totally different.

"I hate snakes, spiders, everything. I don’t like one coming near me, let alone touching me or me having to put it in my mouth!"

Let's hope none of Jimmy's Campmates like to play pranks with spiders.
