The footballer said that the training for the BBC One reality show was much tougher than his days as a professional sportsman.
"It's surprised me how difficult it is. I'm just shattered," he said.
"I trained three hours a day for football. High intensity, sprinting everywhere, making tackles, this is mentally draining. I still haven't got it.
"On a football pitch, on a set-piece you may have to know how you're standing or what you're doing, but here it is absolutely every single thing... And my hair gets in my eyes."
