Yahoo News Harry Redknapp shares BIZARRE anecdote on I'm A Celeb
Harry Redknapp is already winning over I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here viewers, with the unlikeliest of tales.
The ITV reality show returned to screens on Sunday night (November 18) with a new presenter in the form of Holly Willoughby, and a whole new batch of celebrities.
Among them was former football manger Harry Redknapp; who was one of four celebrities competing in a driving challenge called Hell Holes.
And, after climbing into the passenger seat of his team's jeep, he shared with his fellow teammates the unlikely but nonetheless completely true story of a time back in 2016 when he accidentally dragged his wife Sandra along a road when her foot got trapped in his car, leaving her injured.
Or, as Harry put it, "ran over my wife".
He explained: "I used to think I was a good driver but I had a nightmare and ran over my wife one day.
"I mean, you couldn't make it up, could you?
"She got out the car and I thought she'd crossed the road and I pulled forward and she fell into the road and a bus stopped literally yards away and the most amazing part of the story probably, my grand-daughter is sitting on top of the bus and sees all of this. Unreal."
Needless to say, the anecdote didn't go unnoticed by I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here viewers, who couldn't help but mention Harry's casual admittance of the incident:

Loving Harry Redknapp already. Just casually telling folk the reason people don’t trust his driving is cause he ran his wife over. He’s going to be comedy gold #ImACeleb
