Biggins has revealed that he had his bottom hair removed before he came to the jungle because he was worried the creepy crawlies would be attracted to it.

As he went to the Bush Telegraph to collect a basket of vanity products, including nail files, nail clippers and wax strips, he decided to reveal a little about his own hair-removing methods.

He said: “I sugar. It’s a bit like a jelly and a bit like waxing but easier and they put it on and the hairs just come off.

“It’s an old Egyptian thing and I go to a guy in Soho and he sugars my back and he sugars the hair from my nostrils and he sugars my crack and, yeah, it’s good. Gives me a good old trim and you come out all fresh.

“I went just before I came out here because I knew there were lots of creepy crawlies who would come gathering in my wotsits.”

The contestants were given the basket of goodies and were all able to clip their nails and give themselves a manicure.
