FRESH from his triumph on I’m A Celebrity, Harry Redknapp is taking to the stage to lift the lid on what life was really like in the Australian jungle.

During his three-week stint on the ITV reality series, Redknapp charmed millions of viewers with amusing tales about his life, and his love for Sandra, his wife of 54 years.

Now the star, who lives in Sandbanks in Poole, Dorset, will be sharing anecdotes and stories from his lengthy career as a professional football player and manager much closer to home in ‘An Audience with Harry Redknapp’ at The Hexagon in Reading later this year.

Before taking on a career in football management, the 71-year-old played for Bournemouth and West Ham.

He and wife Sandra have two children - Mark and Jamie.

Tickets for the September 11 show are on sale now. The 32-date tour will take in venues across the UK, from Cardiff to Plymouth and Leeds.

At the end of the evening there will also be an audience Q&A session.

In I’m A Celebrity, Harry beat fellow contestant Emily Atack to the coveted title of King of the Jungle, while performer John Barrowman was third.

Redknapp, who had never watched the ITV programme before entering the camp, said afterwards: “I’m amazed I survived three weeks.”

As well as keeping the nation entertained with his tales, he also proved to be a worthy contestant when it came to Bushtucker trials, tackling an assault course, getting covered in rats and eating “delicacies” like a sheep’s brain.

Runner-up Atack said she was “honoured” to have been in the final alongside Redknapp, who she said was a “worthy winner”.

Redknapp’s final trial saw him lying down in an underground chamber while creepy crawlies and rats ran all over him.

The Hexagon is also offering superfans a chance to buy VIP tickets - meaning audience members can have a photo taken with the jungle king and pick up a signed photograph.

VIP tickets are £82 and general admission is £32. For more information and to buy tickets, go to readingarts.com/hexagon or call the box office on 0118 960 6060.
