Piers Morgan jokes he wants to see Kate Garraway in I'm A Celebrity jungle shower

Piers Morgan has joked he would tune in to see Kate Garraway in the I’m A Celebrity shower after she denied she was joining the jungle show.

Garraway surprised Morgan when she appeared on Good Morning Britain, taking the place of Charlotte Hawkins who has flown out to Australia.

The trip abroad sparked a debate between the two co-hosts and Susanna Reid that Hawkins was heading into camp, before Morgan quizzed Garraway on whether she was taking part.

Previous reports had suggested that the presenter would be packing up for Down Under but it all fell through at the last minute.

When asked by Morgan, Garraway said: “That’s what everyone says, that I was supposed to go in the jungle!

“Thought we were in talks Piers, but nobody actually offered me anything. I don’t know, would anyone want to see me in the jungle?”

Morgan joked: “Those shower scenes? Yeah, I’d want to tune in! Seeing the big pants, get a nice little jungle…thing.”

Later on in the show, Morgan raged against “sporting hero” Harry Redknapp for reportedly signing up for the show, having touched down in Australia.

He said: "I just don’t get it, eating kangaroo testicles? I don’t get why people do it! Thank god they do, because it’s a ratings blockbuster for ITV.

"But I don’t get it. Harry, you’re one of my sporting heroes, you’re going to munch kangaroo testicles, really? Really Harry? I thought managing Tottenham was humiliating enough, but this?”

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV. I’m A Celebrity returns Sunday at 9pm on ITV.
