IT’S no real surprise that superbike champion Carl Fogarty has been crowned king of the jungle.
Throughout I’m a Celebrity ….. Get Me Out of Here! he’s been the kind of stoic, non-political contestant who simply gets on with the job in hand and ignores the bugs and snakes.
The Blackburn 49 year-old has displayed true Northern grit throughout, taking part in the bushtucker trials in fearless fashion and proving he’s warm-hearted with the camp divas.
His “bromance” with footballer Jimmy Bullard was engaging and fun, and he was always up for a laugh.
I once interviewed him at his home (his winning Ducati bike was mounted in the hall!) and he’s definitely a “what you see is what you get” kind of person.
The great thing about this reality show is that it reveals the true personality of, mostly, famous names and Foggy showed that he’s a likeable trouper.
