Today Pete replaced Andi Peters on Good Morning Britain to bring the latest competition to viewers - and host Susanna Reid grilled him on his own time in the jungle.

He said: "It was the most incredible experience. It's unbelievable when I think about it... watching them going in last night, we didn't do Walk The Plank 18 years ago, that freaked me out."

Discussing Olivia Attwood and Chris Moyles' dramatic entrances, Pete continued: "When Chris and Olivia jumped out of the helicopter, I couldn't do that - I would've failed at that point."

When asked about his advice for this year's stars Pete replied that they should "say yes to everything" and remember "everyone is watching".
