OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Allardyce has been “tempted” to take part in ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ – but his wife won’t let him.
The former England manager is good pals with show hosts and Newcastle United fans Ant and Dec, who are keen to get the ex-Toon boss on the ITV programme, but his significant other Lynne doesn’t want him to appear in the series and start “bossing everybody about”.
He told Ladbrokes: “My wife won’t let me do ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’. She said I’d embarrass her.
“She reckons I’d just try and take over everything, she thinks I’d be bossing everybody about, so either she’d have to be in there with me, watching me all the time, or I’d be better off taking her advice and leaving it alone.
“I know Ant and Dec really well, of course; I have done for many years. They’ve tried to entice me on plenty of occasions over the years. ‘Come on, big man. We’d love to have you on.’
“It has been tempting, to be fair. Very, very tempting. Very tempting.”
The former Bolton Wanderers boss also admitted he has rejected the chance to strut his stuff on the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ ballroom floor on a number of occasions.
He said: “I’ve turned ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ down a few times – I think it was probably one for me in my younger years.
“I’m scared I’d injure myself at my age, because I’d want to train to win the show, to be the best I could possibly be.
“I don’t want to be laughed at on a show like that.”
