Celebrity Big Brother housemate Vinnie Jones has admitted that he is terrified about the prospect of his soldier son going to war.

Vinnie’s 18 year old son Aaron is a member of the Household cavalry and will be heading to Afghanistan this month.

The hard man told The Sun:

He said: “Aaron’s been in the Army for two years now, but him going to Afghanistan is one of those things you put to the back of your mind.

“Although I don’t think about any of the bad things that can happen, it still turns your tummy.”

He added: “He’s been brought up around guns and fishing rods. I grew up with blokes around me and he loves all that too. In a lot of ways, he’s identical to me.

“Although I should think he’s a lot fitter!”
