Malcolm McClaren pulls out of 'I'm a Celeb'

Ex-Sex Pistols Manager Malcolm McClaren has pulled out of British smash reality show 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here' before the show has even started.

The 61-year-old, who has recently admitted his fears of poisonous snakes and uncontrollable wild beast in the jungle, has decided to not take part in the show in the last 24 hours, according to the Manchester Evening News.

A show spokeswoman apparently also said that McClaren had never watched the ITV1 and did not know what the programme entailed. However, he was aware that former band mate John Lydon took part in the show.

The I'm A Celebrity... spokeswoman said of the departure: "He flew 5,000 miles to take part, but on the day they were due to go into the jungle he changed his mind."

The show will now continue with 9 contestants instead of 10, with no replacements being made. Other reports have recently suggested that the music mogul was suffering from cold feet after flying to the jungle first time.
