James Haskell has said he won’t miss having sex with wife Chloe Madeley while taking part in I’m A Celebrity… because he will be too consumed with hunger.
The rugby star, 34, is married to Chloe Madeley, 32, the daughter of daytime television legends Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan.
She has previously boasted she has daily sex sessions with her hubby – but James says he won’t have the energy to think about missing out on their passion while he’s in the jungle.
However, the hulking heavyweight star does have a tactic to help keep him focused on jungle matters during their temporary TV separation.

He told The Sun: “I think I’ll be able to stay calm.
“When you’re on 700 calories and everything smells of smoke, I’ll be fine. I’ll just throw myself in the creek.”
I think the reality is I’m desperately going to miss my wife.
However, James also admitted it will be “very, very bizarre” to not be in Chloe’s company after being “pretty much inseparable” since they first met five years ago.
He added: “I think the reality is I’m desperately going to miss my wife.”

James also said the hardest aspect of being apart is not being able to keep her updated on his goings on, as the couple are used to speaking ten times a day.
However, asked about whether he could stomach a kangaroo’s anus, James went on to joke he’s swallowed some “pretty terrible things” in his time.
Nonetheless, it could take a serious amount of cash to get him to open up about those experiences.
He added: “What’s the worst? I couldn’t possibly tell you that. Wait until my autobiography or pay me 100 grand, then I’ll start talking.”
