I’m A Celeb hosts Ant and Dec have been keen to get the DJ on board for over a decade so it’s no surprise bosses pulled out all the stops.
Chris admitted he would struggle on the show because of his crippling fear of heights.
“I just wouldn’t be good on I’m a Celeb because we had Tiff’s niece last week and we took her to Go Ape, you know the treetop adventure place?
“I papped myself and I realised I’m more scared of heights than I actually genuinely thought I was, and I knew I was scared of heights.”
The DJ, who now hosts a show on Radio X, has an estimated net worth of £8 million.

Lioness star Jill Scott is ready to swap football for swigging fish guts.
A TV insider said: “Jill became an instant star following that memorable moment, with most Brits forgiving the minor outburst.”

A TV insider said: “This is a sign that the dating favourite is now so big and produces figures with such high profiles that they can no longer be dismissed.
“Olivia is already viewed as a rising star on ITV and this is likely to serve as a launchpad for potentially fronting more mainstream shows with the broadcaster.”
The 31-year-old was one of the biggest stars to emerge from Love Island, after pairing up with Chris Hughes, 29, in 2017, and went on to feature in ITVBe’s Towie.
The blonde beauty has an estimated net worth of £1.2 million.

Loose Women star Charlene, who has been an anchor on the daytime show since 2021, is ready to rumble in the jungle.
An ITV source said: “Charlene is a great signing for the show.
“She’s got some strong opinions, but is really personable and will be good value around the Aussie campfire.
“They hope her journalistic background means she will eke out some illuminating conversations from her campmates, which shouldn’t be hard given some of the people she’ll be sleeping in a bunk next to.
“Seann and Boy George for example both have a very colourful background so viewers should expect a proper grilling from Charlene.”
The journalist has an estimated net worth of £500k.
Seann Walsh
Seann Walsh was a shock signing for this year’s series.

“He’s been doing stand-up for years but it’s his banter and constant one-liners with best mate Mo on Celebrity Gogglebox that really impressed the casting team. It’s a great opportunity for him to head to the jungle.”
