Marc Bannerman has confessed that he is embarrassed by his second-hand Bentley.

The I'm A Celebrity contestant told the Daily Mail that the car was a bad investment because he rarely uses it.

He said: "I bought [it] on a whim nine years ago at Christmas for £14,000. I thought it would be great fun, but I've used the car only minimally since then and it cost a fortune to repair. I have spent £15,000 on it and, as I get older, it is an embarrassment."

The ex-EastEnders star also admitted to purchasing a set of cufflinks that once belonged to Elvis Presley.

He revealed: "I once bought a pair of cufflinks for £3,500. Elvis has sold them to one of his bodyguards and I was in Memphis and met the bodyguard."
