SAM Thompson's mum has revealed the very unusual phobia he's had since a child.
The31-year-old is already a favourite on I'm A Celebrity – having made fans laugh with his JLS obsession and likening Jamie Lynn Spears crying for her kids to him missing his cats.
Now his mum Karen Thompson has told how Sam's fear of fluff and being squeamish could cause him trouble in the jungle.

"He's afraid of pretty much everything. I don’t think any one thing in particular though – creepy-crawlies, yep anything … everything actually!"

"He likes food but he’s a bit squeamish; so I think he’ll really struggle to physically keep the food down.
"We'd all love to see him do a task – we know he'll give it everything as he will want to make sure his fellow campmates are happy and can eat.
"I’m excited for him because he is so incredibly excited to do it.
