Christopher Biggins has revealed that he considered his I'm A Celebrity stint as a big risk.
The actor, who was announced as the winner of the show last week, admitted that he hoped to revive his career but feared that the public would prefer the other contestants.
"I could sit back and watch my name slide down the billings, or I could get out there and prove to everyone that I was capable of more," Biggins told the Daily Mail. "It was high risk, of course it was. My worst fear was being voted out first, and being utterly humiliated."
Christopher realised the extent of his popularity when he received a standing ovation at the Ivy restaurant in London after flying home from Australia.
"The place just came to a halt. Everyone was shouting and cheering. It was quite, quite mad," he explained. "I was with Joan Collins and even when we were at the table, people were throwing roses. My God, it was amazing.
"Then on Wednesday I was at the comedy awards. Jonathan Ross was telling me how much he loved watching me. Everyone was clapping me on the back. It was quite exhausting."
