Football legend Alan Shearer gives bizarre reason why he would never sign up for ITV's I'm a Celebrity - but reveals another pundit who he's convinced would WIN the hit TV show

Ex-England footballer Alan Shearer has revealed why he would never sign up for ITV's popular reality show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, which is set to return for Series 24 on November 24.

Several retired footballers have jetted to Australia to take part in the show, including the likes of Jimmy Bullard, Wayne Bridge, Harry Redknapp and Jill Scott to name a few, with the latter pair winning their respective season.

But Newcastle and Blackburn legend Shearer claims will never go on the show because he has been bizarrely 'convinced' not to by former contestant Ian Wright.
