GARY reckons that his nervous sister Carole Middleton will watch Celebrity Big Brother — but from behind the sofa.
And he hopes his niece Kate and her three children will also tune in.
He admits he can understand why his relatives might be apprehensive.
But he said: “I think they could always really trust me to know that I’m going to play the game well.
“I think she (Carole) will probably be watching me from behind the sofa, slightly anxious, but I do think if the best version of Gary turns up, she’d be very proud of me — that’s what we were hoping for.”
Gary also hopes that Kate will be watching with Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte.

He said: “If it turns out it’s been reported brilliantly and I’m doing great, then I almost guarantee that she will. If it’s going the wrong way, she should probably switch over.
“Could you imagine if George and Charlotte watch? I mean it’s the type of show that a family could watch. But it’s past the watershed and will they be asleep by then?
“Maybe if I’m doing a weird task, Uncle Gary dressed as a chicken or something. But if I make people proud, I’ll be absolutely chuffed and maybe they’ll get to see it.
“But I need to work on my potty mouth first. I swear a lot.”

But he insists he’ll only have positive things to say about Kate.
Gary said: “It’s all lovely stories. There’s loads of family anecdotes and I’ll share them all because they’re all really lovely.
“I remember holding Kate for the first time and her playing in the garden and having water fights. We’ve got loads of fun stuff we did together when she was growing up.
“Who was to think that little girl would end up our future Queen?
“She has respect for family, as Carole has, so she’s been brought up well. She’s the number one royal for a reason.”
