HARRY REDKNAPP hasn't stopped recalling hilarious managerial tales during his time in the jungle so far.
Redknapp, 71, has emerged as a popular figure on ITV's I'm a Celeb 2018.
And in the latest instalment of story time with the ex-Tottenham boss, he revealed his admiration for Sir Alex Ferguson.
He also revealed their pre-match ritual whenever they came up against each other.
He said: "Every manager after every game came in your office. Fergie was always great.
"He had a great bottle of wine.
"He would get something special in when you went there."
Redknapp notoriously had a terrible record against Ferguson.
In their 44 meetings, the former West Ham, Portsmouth and Tottenham boss won just five games, while Ferguson triumphed 28 times.
But Redknapp has revealed he was often on edge before games against Fergie's iconic United sides, while the Scot just wanted to kick back and watch the racing.
He added: "I have been in his office at 2:45 for a 3pm kick-off. The team would go out and he would have the racing on.
"I would sit there and he said 'I have got one in the 2:45'.
"I said: 'Alex I have got to go'.
"But he wasn't bothered because he would go and win and had such a good team."
