Chris Kamara thanks Ben Shephard ‘it wouldn’t have been possible without you’<\/h3>\n

Former footballer Chris Kamara shared his “big regret” over not taking part in I\u2019m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! ahead of the highly anticipated launch of the 2023 series this weekend.<\/p>\n

The 65-year-old commentator said he had been approached to take part in the ITV show on a number of occasions but repeatedly turned it down.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy intention was to do it one day, once my Sky contract came to an end, but I\u2019m in no shape to do so now, sadly.<\/p>\n

“Neither my body nor mind could cope. I couldn\u2019t face hearing the words, \u2018Chris Kamara is exempt from this task due to health issues\u2019. No chance. It\u2019s a big regret.\u201d<\/p>\n

The football legend left Sky Sports last year after the effects of his diagnosis worsened.<\/p>\n
