Nick, 56, released a musical offering called Every Kind Of People last year and his Universal Records disc has garnered new interest since his turn on the jungle reality show.

He said: "It made me literally laugh my moobs off when I came out...
"When I got my letters from my boys in the jungle, and when they said Chris Moyles and his team have got you to number one on iTunes I literally thought they were taking – I’ve gotta be careful – we’re such a wind-up family...
