Coronation Street<\/a> and Benidorm star Nigel Havers<\/a> was a contestant on I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out Of Here!<\/a> in 2010, and he wasn\u2019t a big fan of one of his fellow campmates.<\/p>\n

The actor withdrew from the competition on day 9, after quitting a bushtucker trial halfway through.<\/p>\n

The campmates were taking part in a trial called Kangaroo Court, which saw the slowest contestants given electric shocks.<\/p>\n

Admitting he \u2018wasn\u2019t up for it\u2019, Nigel quit the trial before withdrawing from the series entirely.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t just the trials that rubbed Nigel up the wrong way, with the Corrie star being vocal about his dislike of fellow campmate<\/a> and politician Lembit \u00d6pik ever since.<\/p>\n

Lembit was the second celebrity to be voted out of the series, leaving after Nigel and author Sheryl Gascoigne, with presenter Stacey Solomon going on to win Queen of the Jungle.<\/p>\n

Speaking about his experience on the show<\/a>, Nigel told The Guardian<\/a>: \u2018You think it looks bad on TV. S***, it was terrible. It was the boredom more than anything\u2019.<\/p>\n

He went on to admit that he would have ended up in prison if he\u2019d stayed on the show any longer, as he \u2018wanted to kill\u2019 Lembit.<\/p>\n

\u2018There was a bloke called Lembit \u00d6pik, the politician. After a couple of days, I wanted to kill him.\u00a0\u00a0Had I stayed, I would\u2019ve killed him and I\u2019d be in prison now. So it seemed like a good idea to leave.\u2019<\/p>\n

Metro <\/strong>has reached out to Nigel\u2019s representatives for comment.<\/p>\n

Away from the jungle, actor Nigel has had some major roles in TV and film, including Doctor Who, Downton Abbey and Chariots of Fire.<\/p>\n

Most recently, he has appeared as a judge in A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story.<\/p>\n

Nigel\u2019s time on the cobbles<\/h2>\n

Soap fans will best know Nigel as Corrie\u2019s conman Lewis Archer, who he played on and off between 2009 and 2019.<\/p>\n

During his time in Weatherfield, Lewis wooed Audrey Roberts<\/a> (Sue Nicholls<\/a>), but left her to flee the country after conning the bookies out of \u00a34000.<\/p>\n

He returned to the street in 2012 to make up for his wrongdoings, paying Peter Barlow back and handing himself in to the police.<\/p>\n

However, his new leaf didn\u2019t last long, as he went on to con Gail Platt out of \u00a340,000 before running off to Belize.<\/p>\n

He finally got things back on track with Audrey in 2018, before tragically dying<\/a> before getting the chance to propose to her.<\/p>\n
