The new series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here starts tonight, but it'll have to do so with one less deeply irritating attention-whore than it thought – Malcolm McLaren has pulled out.

Malcolm McLaren – former Sex Pistols manager, composer of songs about skipping and the bloke from a recent advert for mayonnaise – has suddenly decided that he doesn't want to be a contestant on this year's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here mere hours before the show is set to begin. Nobody is sure what prompted Malcolm McLaren to pull out of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here – the show where borderline famous people go to Australia, become the host body for all kinds of exotic skin-burrowing insects and survive exclusively on a diet of nothing but testicles and anuses – but it was probably because he couldn't stand spending a fortnight in the same campsite as that awful Changing Rooms woman.
