Best known as Star Trek’s Mr Sulu, George Takei is the oldest ever I’m A Celeb… contestant, but reckons he’ll manage just fine.

“I am a physically fit person. I work out every day. I used to run marathons!” he says. However, he hasn’t got a clue what he’s letting himself in for, but an adventure in the jungle will be fun anyway.

“I like challenges. I am willing to boldly go. I think it is going to be good fun”. And when it comes to the Bushtucker Trials, George thinks he’ll be a pro! “I’m Japanese and I love sushi. I’ve even had live fish. It was delicious.”
