BOXER Amir Khan has returned home after his exploits in the I'm a Celebrity jungle.

A family party was put on for him at the New Dhanak Deira restaurant in Blackburn Road, on Friday night.

And it was only fitting he enjoyed a jungle themed evening after spending weeks in the Australian outback for the hit ITV show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.

Amir, who recently flew back from Dubai, said: "I just thought it was my close family and a small meal. I didn't expect the whole jungle theme and so many people.

"The whole place looks like the jungle, with the critters and snakes."

Amir said he appreciates the little things even more and how being in the jungle has helped his fitness levels as he looks forward to going back in the ring this March.

Amir said: "The only thing I was scared of was snakes and spiders. I got used to the spiders because I have seen a lot of them and while I was in the jungle I saw so many snakes go past me.

"Some of the trials had snakes involved."

He added: "I missed home cooking, the little treats like opening the fridge and picking what you want. I appreciate the littlest things. You miss the littlest things in life.

"You're away from your family, your friends, your kids and wife and everyone, it’s not easy, it’s very very hard."

The Olympic silver medallist revealed that he is staging his next fight in the UK.

Amir said: "I am going to fight in March, I was training in the jungle every day it and I’m glad I went, it was a detox, I came back and I was in shape.

"I want to fight in the UK, I think it is time."
