Esther Rantzen has revealed that she has not had sex in eight years.

The former talkshow host, who lost husband Desmond Wilcox in 2000, told I'm A Celebrity... campmates Carly Zucker and Nicola McLean that she would not recommend being without a lover for so long.

"How have you gone eight years without sex, Esther? Please tell me," Nicola asked.

"With a lot of cold showers," she replied. She added that she would be nervous about taking on another lover, saying: "I would be bloody petrified, wouldn't I? It would be like losing your virginity again."

"You deserve a medal, let's get you a Blue Peter badge on the grounds you have been celibate for eight years," Nicola joked.
