As the celebs get settled in the Jungle, ex-football manager Harry Redknapp has opened up about a special quirk which may see him outperform the other camp mates in some of the more gruesome tasks
As he cleaned out the dreaded ‘dunny’ – the outside toilet the celebs are forced to use during their stay – he mentioned to actor John Barrowman that he didn’t mind taking on the task every day.
Though it’s not a bushtucker trial, it’s certainly not a pleasant task and John was visibly surprised he had made the offer.
But turns out it wasn’t quite so selfless as it initially seems, as Harry confessed that he had no sense of smell.
The loss occurred after a car accident nearly three decades ago, when the mini-bus he was travelling in collided with a car.

I'm A Celebrity 2014: The WORST Bushtucker Trials EVER!
1 of 8Dean Gaffney (2006)
Ex-EastEnder Dean Gaffney showed off his impressive ability to yelp like an injured animal in his 2006 trial. To be fair to the man, he did have cockroaches poured on his head, put his hands in a box of biting ants and retrieve a star from a pool of baby crocodiles.
2 of 8Gino D’Acampo (2009)
"I think I've got to eat some kind of weird stuff," commented Gino when he was told he was going to do a Bushtucker Bonanza. Yep, we guess that a fermented egg, a rhino beetle, cockroach, wittchedy grub, mealworms, beach worms and crocodile tongue might be considered 'weird'.
3 of 8Jennie Bond (2004)
Alone, wet, cold and covered with rats. Not a situation we'd like to get in any time soon, but former Royal correspondent Jennie Bond managed to last a whole 10 minutes locked in a water and rat filled coffin by humming an upbeat tune. We salute you, Ms. Bond.
4 of 8Joey Essex (2013)
Locked in a cold, dark, slimy tomb, we'd be freaking out if we were Joey in his 2013 task. But the TOWIE star powered through and managed to find all twelve hidden stars without uttering a single scream, only stopping to moan 'This is definitely, 100% not reem,' and to comment that the rodents were biting his 'middle parts'.
5 of 8Mark Wright and Freddie Starr (2011)
TOWIE's Mark and hamster-eating comedian Freddie were an oddly matched pair for the 'Greasy Spoon Café' culinary battle, but the resulting Bushtucker trial has to be one of our faves. The couple was challenged to dine on a spoiled egg, blended cockroaches, mealworms and mouse tails, turkey testicles, a camel's toe and a pigs anus.
6 of 8Martina Navratilova (2008)
Tennis pro Martina impressed us all when she shared a plastic bubble helmet with a variety of jungle critters, including grasshoppers, cockroaches, stick insects, spiders and snakes. While we shuddered and hid behind our hands, Martina took it like a champ.
7 of 8Matt Willis (2006)
Poor Matt Willis proved he's no wimp when he munched his way to victory in his Bushtucker Bonanza challenge of 2006. The McBusted star dined out on live mealworms, witchetty grubs, a kangaroo anus and a crocodile penis. Mr Willis managed the whole lot without a single retch, commenting after 'I've got kangaroo anus in my teeth. It's a really good look.'
8 of 8Kim Woodburn (2009)
Kim was submerged in a tank under water, while thousands of cockroaches and other critters were poured on her. As much as we did feel for clean freak Kim, her screeches of "Something's nipping my bosoms" and "It's bitten my bum!" made this trial a timeless classic.

“I woke up in hospital, I had fractured my skull and many other bones, and suffered a horrific gash to my leg,” he wrote. “I don’t think my life was ever in danger but I have never regained my sense of smell – not a complete disadvantage in some dressing rooms.”
We’d put money down that some of the smells in the Australian wilderness are far worse than the average dressing room.
Campmates at Croc Creek seemed to be happy with the arrangement, with John saying, “Harry doesn’t have any sense of smell, so Harry is the perfect one to do the dunny – just don’t look in!”
“I’m happy to do it because I am no use with the cooking,” added Harry. “That’ll be my job – Harry the shit shoveller.
