Darts legend Russ Bray has told I’m a Celeb chiefs to “come and get him” for the next series in the jungle
The retired darts ref said he would love to have a go at sleeping rough in the bush and eating creepy crawlies and doesn’t think he would be fazed at all.
“I’d certainly do I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” he said. “I think I could handle all of that. I don’t think I’d have any problems there.

“I chatted with Eric Bristow when he came out of the jungle a few years back, and he loved it. It just sounded like such good fun.”
Ladbrokes ambassador Bray also said he has been well and truly influenced by the Luke Littler effect – and said his pay packet has increased tenfold since the youngster started on the darts scene.
In his app Russ Bray Darts Scorer Pro, his voice refs your darts matches in full including speaking your name, throws and totals left.
He explained: “I get paid by the app monthly, and after the World Championships last year, the big pay day for that one comes in February.
“Looking at what I normally get from it every month, I’d say the month after Luke Littler made the final, I got paid 12, maybe 13 times more than what I normally get.
“And then the following month was around nine times, and the month after was around eight times. So in those three months, it was just obscene.”
