Former American Idol finalist Sanjaya Malakar has signed up for this years American version of I’m A Celebrity and by the sound of it he just can’t wait to get into the jungle.

The floppy haired singer said:

“I’m just excited. I love new experiences. I love putting myself in places that I don’t necessarily think I’ll be comfortable because I’m forced to adapt.”

“It’s real life except without a lot less stuff which is kind of nice, you don’t have to worry.”

“When I found out what the show is about, what it all was, I was real excited. First of all to just get the opportunity to go to Costa Rica and see it because I’ve always loved jungles. “
