Colin Baker aims to be King of the Jungle

My children decided I should do this. They are fans of the show and the programme is on incessantly every year. They told me I had to go on and they are so excited. My family are ridiculously delighted that I am going - "can't wait to see you chomping on a giraffe's buttock" - there's no sympathy at all, it's all "ooh can't wait, can't wait!"

Now I am about to go in the jungle, I wouldn't say I am excited. It's a mixture of intrigue, a feeling of resigned and interested to see how I am going to react. I haven't a clue as I have not done anything like this ever before. For me, this is pushing back the boundaries. I think I'll be able to deal with anything that comes up in the jungle: after all, I've met aliens from the planet Zog, and I have encountered the fans of Doctor Who conventions - all of whom are wonderful but can be a bit alien! There is one trial in particular that I'm terrified by, and I'm not going to tell you what it is - do you think I'm stupid or what?!?!
