Swash unhappy with 'stern' Navratilova

I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! star Joe Swash has expressed fears that his teammate Martina Navratilova could become a rival in the jungle.

The former EastEnders actor admitted that he was apprehensive about spending time with Navratilova after the former tennis champion appeared to doubt his chances of succeeding in the group's first challenge.

Swash was speaking after being picked to represent his team in a Trauma Tank task.

"She didn't want me to do it in the first place," Swash complained. "I could tell that she didn't because there's quite a lot riding on it. As soon as I put my hand up I could see her face drop.

"Then she had a bit of a dig at me outside so I think she'll be quite stern. And she's a big girl isn't she! I really hope I don't get on the wrong side of her."

The star then admitted that he regretted putting himself forward for the task, explaining: "If I could change my mind I would now. I'm starting to think it wasn't the brightest decision I ever made."

I'm A Celebrity premieres at 9.00pm tonight on ITV1.
