Harry Redknapp, 72, appeared on the Chris Evans Virgin Radio Breakfast Show last week, where he spilled behind-the-scenes details about what happens to the families who are supporting the jungle contestants. The football manager stunned the DJ, 53, when he admitted his wife Sandra, who travelled to Australia to support him, had to wake up in the early hours of the morning, travel a long distance to the camp and wait to find out if it was him who would be evicted. He divulged: “And the hard part, which I didn’t realise. The families every morning, they’re up at 4am to travel to where we are in the camp. “An hour and 50 minutes on a minibus, in case one of their family comes out. So every morning 4 o’clock or whatever, Sandra has to wake up."

Chris interjected: “I didn’t know this.”
Harry continued: “They’ve got like two hours to travel, sitting around all day waiting to see who comes out. So by the time they got back to the hotel, the day had gone.”
The jungle winner spilled his wife didn’t exactly get to enjoy Australia and had “no fun” at all.
