Christopher Biggins has admitted that he his too lazy to star in soap operas.

The I'm A Celebrity... winner confessed that the hectic work schedule puts him off appearing in soaps.

He told Star magazine: "You know, I don't think I could do it. They work so hard. I'm lazy now. They're all wonderful. I've got friends on EastEnders and on Coronation Street, too."

Biggins added that he was delighted when Barbara Windsor made a career comeback on EastEnders.

He said: "I worked with her after she was in all the Carry On movies when she was a big West End star - and then her career went down a bit.

"She had a failed marriage, things weren't that great, and then suddenly everything changed with EastEnders. It was fantastic for her. And it's a great comeback."
