Ally McCoist jokes about I’m A Celeb rejection and reveals reality show he ‘couldn’t turn down’

Ally McCoist, the Rangers legend, recently joked about turning down an opportunity to appear on the reality show “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” He was in advanced discussions to enter the Australian jungle for the ITV series but decided against it at the last moment. Instead, McCoist disclosed that he would love to participate in Channel 4’s show, Celebrity Hunted. This program involves contestants trying to evade capture for 14 days while being pursued by top investigators armed with various tracking methods.

During an interview on Talksport, McCoist, age 62, expressed his interest in participating in Celebrity Hunted, where participants are dropped off in an undisclosed location and must outwit the pursuers. McCoist also light-heartedly mentioned that his decision to decline “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” might have been different had he known the significant fee reportedly earned by Coleen Rooney for her participation.

McCoist, who has now rejected three invitations to join reality shows, shared his excitement for the upcoming season of “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” while confirming he will be watching it with his family from home this time. Despite not being on the show himself, McCoist continues to bring humour and enthusiasm to the world of reality television.

In summary, Ally McCoist’s humorous take on his reality show rejections and his preference for a show like Celebrity Hunted over I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! showcases his wit and charm outside of the football pitch. His insights and light-hearted banter add a refreshing perspective to the world of reality TV.
