Conley leaves I'm a Celebrity

Before entering the jungle, Brian Conley told I'm A Celebrity, "It would be lovely to win".

Conley, who has left the show for medical reasons, said, "I really enjoy making new friends and I am sure I will throw some entertainment into the soiree!"

"Of course it would be lovely to win or get in the final group. But I am going into the jungle because it will be such a great experience. Doing things like jumping out of a plane is a dream come true," he added.

The team at I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! has wished Brian Conley well after his exit from the jungle.

Under the heading "So long Brian" on the show's website, a spokesperson said, "Brian Conley has left the jungle for medical reasons. We will miss him in camp and wish him well".

He told them, "I hope you enjoy my escapades in Australia and I have no idea what I'm letting myself in for, but I'm very excited about it".

"Hopefully you'll vote for me, hopefully I won't embarrass myself too much ... but watch this space".
