Shakin' Stevens has ruled out the possibility of appearing in any more reality TV shows.
The singer, who won ITV1's Hit Me Baby One More Time in 2005, said he had been invited to star in programmes including I'm A Celebrity... and Strictly Come Dancing.
He revealed that he had rejected the offers, saying: "I'm not interested in that kind of exposure. It's just not me. And I sometimes wonder why celebrities put themselves through it.
"[It] doesn't appeal to me. You have to be comfortable on these shows - if you're not you don't come across well."
The 60-year-old has been announced as one of the acts performing at Glastonbury this summer.
